Well, the ultrasound technician was pretty sure Baby B is a girl! Three girls in the home...good thing we have two bathrooms. We had a great visit and another wonderful report. My cervix is nice and long, which is such a blessing. The high risk doctor said that he was confident with the length of the cervix that I would not go into premature labor in the next two weeks. He gave me permission to travel to Corunna on May 19 for the Family Baby Shower - another blessing!
When I saw my regular doctor today, I told her about this cold that I have had for the past couple weeks and how I got better and then it came back and I am sick again. She said with the babies pushing up on my diaphragm so much, that I am a good candidate to get pneumonia so she put me on an antibiotic to avoid that. She also said there is not much I can do about the back and rib pain. And unfortunately, she said it will only get worse. She said I am measuring at about 36 weeks even though I am at 25 weeks, which explains why strangers keep telling me I look like I am going to pop any day now. Overall, she was really encouraged by the way things look so far. It was so reassuring to hear that all is well with me and the babies. What an answer to prayer.
The babies looked great via ultrasound. They are really cute (not that I am biased or anything!). Each baby gained weight over the past two weeks - Baby A weighs 1 lb. 11 oz. (up 7 oz.), Baby B weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. (up 8 oz.), and Baby C weighs 1 lb. 7 oz. (up 4 oz.). I am proud of our girls and praising the Lord for all of the blessings he has been giving us.
