"Ummm, it's gettting crowded in here!"

Another week and another doctors appointment in the books! We had a great appointment with our regular OBGYN this morning/afternoon. Katie got all squared away with a new prenatal vitamin and more iron supplements, she is also going to continue to take the folic acid and additional calcium. We did the normal ultrasound, checked the heart beats and fluid, then the ever so famous cervix check! We were also glad to see that Katie had gained 8 lbs. in the past three weeks since our last visit!

The heartbeats were great at 140, 140 and 153. Baby C is VERY active in there and his heartbeat rate tends to run higher because he is moving around so much! He actually kicked when she was trying to get his heartbeat and we heard it and Katie felt it! The babies are getting bigger and they are moving all over the place! Baby B two weeks ago was high and now he has moved down low, Baby A was even upside down! Nutty...

Katie's cervix is still holding strong and is still very long, so that is a very good sign. There are many women at 21 weeks that are already on bed rest and having issues with triplets. Dr. Limoscenero is very excited about how well things are going. Katie is really starting to show in the front, she looks great! She is doing so well that we have next week off from the doctors. We go again two weeks from today, this time to both doctors. Our regular OBGYN in the morning and high risk in the afternoon. Dr. Limoscenero is going to take us on a tour after our appointment of the NICU at Lewisville Medical Center. We both would really like to see where our children are going to be born and how they are going to be cared for when they are in the NICU. Should be interesting...

Please continue to pray and think about Katie and the babies that the Lord has blessed us with. We have come a LONG way, but we still have a very long way to go as well. We're going to make it with everyone's assistance and positive thoughts! :) We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the spring!

Love,

Todd and Katie
