When I first found out I was having triplets my Ob/gyn let me know our first goal towards having 3 healthy babies (aside from 12 weeks where miscarriage rate drops dramatically) was 28 weeks! From there, I guess we're just taking it week-by-week and we'll arrange a C-section around the 34-36 week! So, this friday is my 28 week growth/anatomy U/S and I'm anxious for an update on all the weights of the babies! Last week, I had my cervix checked, glucose test done (again), and of course blood pressure/weight/baby heartbeats, etc,.... everything came back perfectly! Well, I guess I have a very low blood count... I just need to take even more vitamins. Its apparently normal to have a low blood count with multiples bc the babies are simply stealing all of my nutrients! And it could cause problems if I bled to much during c-section... (i think thats the concern...)
Nurseries are painted! Cribs are put together! All of the supplies are bought (even though I could prob use more preemie outfts)! hmm... we still need to put together our glider and dresser. If I haven't mentioned it before; the girls are going to share a room and the boy will have his own. But I think until they're sleeping through the night I'll have all 3 in the same room.
**I took pics of the nurseries but I'm not feeling up to going down stairs to get my camera! ** (my physical condition is getting horrible, still, no bed rest though)!!
We only bought two more cribs and we moved Adrienne into a toddler bed about 2-3 weeks ago. Some days and nights she does really well with it, other days she simply fights her naps and then falls asleep around 4-5pm very cranky which throws her off schedule. Adam and I talked about putting her back in the crib for a few months, but I think we're going to tough it out..we just need to establish more discipline with her! I know she is two but suddenly these past few weeks her tantrums have sky-rocketed!
We're still playing with a handful of names for the babies, but nothing has been decided!
Starting around week 30 I'll start doing weekly non-stress tests.
I can't think of much else to say. I know I need to post pics! And I'll update after my ultrasound on friday!
Thanks for reading/caring =) It is crazy how fast this pregnancy is progressing!
ahhh so exciting!! can't wait to see pictures of the nurseries!! And I feel you about the terrible 2's tantrums etc. Calista is the same way, but just stick with the toddler bed and she will adjust!!:)
