Today was the much anticipated cervical length and growth check.  Praise God my cervix was slightly improved from my check almost two weeks ago!
|  | 
| Everyone is joining in the prayer! | 
 The doctor told me that means I did not have to have a catheter put in today. 
|  | 
| The catheter wouldn't interfered with Mindy's shopping... | 
Yeah!  So I can still shower every other day and go the the bathroom on my own. 
|  | 
| Feels so good! | 
 I don't know when the next check will be yet, but this gives me at least another week of "freedom".
|  | 
| Mindy running through the fields ... in her dreams... | 
 The doctor told me to hang in there three more weeks (19 days but who is counting).  I asked him if I did if I could go home.  He just smiled and said we will see.
|  | 
| It's the final countdown!!! big hair 80's countdown.... | 
 Two of the girls are growing on schedule but baby C is a bit behind.
|  | 
| Time to give baby C a hand...get it ... hand...I know...I know... | 
 Baby A is 1.8 pounds, Baby B is 1.7 pounds, and Baby C is 1.4 pounds. 
|  | 
| This is what it feels like inside Mindy's belly. | 
The doctor did not seem concerned but he did not have a chance to read the ultrasound report before he saw me. 
|  | 
| The doctor had other things on his mind... | 
 Hopefully we'll get some more guidance tomorrow about how things are progressing. The girls were all facing my back so we didn't get any pictures today :(
|  | 
| Well, we got one picture. | 
A verse that helped get me through the week, Isaiah 40:29-31.
Congrats on the recent positive news! Praying for more and more!! (and that the next 18nights FLY by!!) I realize that I could just comment via facebook, but I feel like I want to give positive reinforcement for blog posts bc I enjoy them so much :) Hope you're hanging in there! Sounds like Dawn has been doing a good job of harassing you about baby names - I'm impressed you've stayed strong! She can be so persistent ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea. We do appreciate your blog comments! Dawn has been persistent but I'm holding my ground.
