At my 28 week OB appointment this week, I officially measured 42 weeks pregnant. That means I measured 2 weeks overdue! I guess this is what happens when you carry three babies. I'm nervous to see just how big I'm going to get before the babies arrive.
My appointment was almost all good news. I'm still carrying the babies well with no current signs of preeclampsia or pre-term labor. The babies all have great heart rates. And I was allowed to continue with my restricted activity level vs. full bedrest. I am starting to see my OB every week now. I see the perinatal specialist in 2 weeks and we'll see how often he wants to see me.
28 weeks is a huge milestone in the babies development, especially their lungs. Fingers crossed we can hold them in for a while longer!
More blurry ultrasound photos!! The top one is hard to see, but she was able to get all 3 baby heads in one photo (centered around my belly button). Adele's head (C) is a nice round circle, but Walter & Gordon's heads (A&B) are shadows. The bottom photo is of Adele's arm and Gordon's hand (labelled C & B respectively). Just before the tech captured this photo, Adele and Gordon were trying to touch hands. I'll get an update on the babies' growth in week 30 and I'm very excited!
You look great! And I'm soooo happy you've gotten this far and are doing so well. That's super fantastic! Go Joey Go!!!

Wow-wee Girl you look great. Im surprised you dont fall face forward when walking around. Your brothers comment about the names is hysterical.

You look BEAUTIFUL! I was measuring 42 weeks when I hit the 31 week mark. After that I told my OB I didn't want to know my measurements anymore. LOL You've done great, your kids have an excellent Mama!

Angie -- LOL! I feel so front heavy now, it might happen yet.
ReplyDeleteIrish -- My OB finds it FASCINATING. Looks like we were trending to a very similar size. *grin*
