That is really what it feels like for us! Hanging out, waiting and praying... Yesterday was week 28, we are so blessed to have a trouble free pregnancy so far. Thank you Lord!
We had a doctors appointment this morning with Dr. Limoscenero, her sonographer was in charge of checking cord flow and fluid in each of the sacs. Once again, everything looked great! I really don't think there has been any change in the flow or in the fluid in the past couple of weeks that I can tell. The babies were moving all around in there and it was hard for her to get really good readings on the cord flow, but she got it done.
She then checked the infamous cervix, this was her first look at the cervix and she was shocked at how well it is doing. It is still long and strong, no sign of funneling or any sort of weakening at all. She said "Goodness, you have an amazing cervix!" I then broke out into the "Cervix Dance" and said "You have just cemented a place in our blog! Welcome!" I joke about this but really it is so important. There are so many women that have funneling and have to have cerlage's (they have to have it sewed up!) just to keep the babies in. Katies body is doing just great growing these three. The nights are really tough on her, she is so tired and uncomfortable, but she is my "Superwoman"! :)
We had a great converstation with the doctor as well. She said that Katie will be in the hospital a minimum of four nights when the babies are born, she explained the whole birthing process to us and really took her time to put us at ease a bit. I suppose I have a gameplan if things "go down" unexpectedly! We are so lucky to have such a great doctors watching over us. We go back to both doctors next Friday for a check up and cord flow and fluid measurements, then back on Monday June 15th for another set of complete measurements of the babies.
Our girls crib came in today, so we are going to pick that up tomorrow. We have a couple of items we still need to get but other than that we are pretty set I suppose. We have a low key weekend on tap, I have some work to do around the house, church Sunday morning and hopefully some relaxation time. We hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend! Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers, we can feel them everyday!
Love,
Todd & Katie
