29 Weeks and counting!

Well, hello 29 weeks! Oddly when we began this journey I didn't think I would see you. But here we are, and with nothing but GREAT news! Who would have ever thought? I had an appointment today, a little bummed we didn't check their growth and weights but based on how they have been doing all three babies should be around the 3 pound mark. That's a lot of baby! Today we did a general check and a test called a BPP where they check fluid pockets, breathing, cord flow, movement, and muscle tone. All three babies scored 8/8! Baby B was a little hesitant to show us he could practice breathing but he finally did and looked good. All the babies had awesome fluid around them, were quite active once we woke them up, and had strong heart rates. Two weeks ago everyone was in the 50th percentile for growth, and they said most higher order multiples tend to be on the smaller side but we have normal size babies as if they were singletons.

27 Week update!

It's a bit surreal to think that we are in the homestretch already, and made it to 27 weeks!There is a lot going on in our little world as we begin our countdown to babies. I guess first we can start with our appointment today. Everyone looks great! Baby A (Addisyn) is still hanging out head down which I am happy about. She is measuring at 2 lb 3 oz, the littlest of the three but not by much. Baby B (Bentley) flipped breech and has his head up in my ribs, which while uncomfortable I am glad he is no longer sitting transverse. He is measuring in at 2lb 4oz. Baby C (Connor) is still sitting transverse with his head next to Bentley's (their heads are off to the right) and he is butt bumping with Addisyn off to the left. He weighs in our heaviest at 2lb 5oz. We are so thrilled they are growing the same and none are showing any signs of growth restrictions. They are sitting in a big triangle and hopefully Connor will flip one way or another to be in better positionin
