Major Milestone - 30 weeks!!

Well we have done it! We have made it to 30 weeks!! ;)

We have had two doctor's appointments since my last post (sorry for not posting after last appointment). Things are looking so great!  The doctor is SO happy with how well things are going!

Last week's appointment (29 weeks) everything was looking great.  The boys are growing wonderfully:

Baby A: 2 lbs 13 oz

Baby B: 2 lbs 13 oz

Baby C: 3 lbs 3 oz

This week's appointment (30 weeks) still growing great:

Baby A: 3 lbs

Baby B: 3 lbs 3 oz

Baby C: 3 lbs 5 oz

The doctor is VERY happy with how well I am doing and how well the boys are growing! He did give me another steroid boost this week and plans on giving me another one at 34 weeks. We did talk about the chances of going past 34 weeks and he said that we will just take everything one week at a time, but the longer we can go the healthier the babies will be. If things continue as well as they have been going then we will probably be able to go past 34 weeks!

The doctor was so happy with how well things are going, he actually let me go out to dinner to get out of the house for one night!  So Keith and I went on a date!  It was so nice to actually have a meal outside of the house, but half way through dinner I got pretty tired so as soon as we got home I was back on the couch laying down! But it was still nice to have a meal out!!

I know many of you have asked for more pictures!  So as requested here are a few more pictures!

We are very thankful to all of you that are keeping up with us! We appreciate all of the support and prayers that everyone has been sending!  Please know how much it means to Keith and I and our entire families!  We are so blessed to have such great friends and family!!

YAY, Week 28!!

Well, we have made it another week!  I had another doctor's appointment last week and we are all doing great!  I did not get actual measurements of each of the boys but the doctor said that they are all between 2 and 2 1/2 pounds! That makes for a VERY happy mommy and daddy!  They are doing so well and we could not be happier!  They decided to give me a steroid shot at this appointment, this will help boost their lungs since we know they will be born early. They have talked about giving me another round of them at week 30, but we will wait to see what happens! Still seeing the doctor every two weeks for now, but after next appointment will probably go to seeing him every week!  We are still hoping to get me to 34 weeks, that is the ultimate goal! I am doing everything I can to help with that, which means I don't do much! I think we have been more strict about my bed rest than the doctor has been, but he agrees that what ever I am doing is working so keep doing it!

We had to make another trip to Labor and Delivery over the weekend! I had been having some contractions through out the weekend and could usually get them to stop, but Sunday night that was not the case. I could not get them to subside for anything so we wanted to be safe than sorry! They did confirm that I was having some contractions but everything looked good and they did a test to make sure I was not in preterm labor and I was not so they sent me home! I am not doing much these days, but we have all decided that full bed rest will be best! The doctor has not said that yet, but I will do just about anything to keep them in there! I really want to get to 34 weeks and if doing NOTHING will help that, than I will do that! Hopefully we won't have any more issues, but I am sure something else will come up!

We appreciate all the support and prayers that everyone is sending us! We are SO blessed to have such great friends and family!! We love you all!
