I really don't have many updates, but we have officially made it to 31 weeks!!! I totally had a meltdown in front of my doctor this week when he told me that he would let me go as far as 35 weeks before he took the babies and he wouldn't let me do home bed rest either!! Just the thought of being in the hospital for 4 more weeks mixed with hormones of a woman pregnant with triplets was enough to make me cry and to make him feel bad. This got me two perks though. I now get to eat off of the hospital VIP dinner menu. I'm not sure what normally qualifies someone as a VIP, but I'm happy to say that I am officially a dinner VIP and the food is way better than the regular food. Thank goodness. My second perk was that I got to ride in a wheel chair to get an ultrasound. This is pretty huge because when I say that I am on hospital bed rest this means that I haven't left my hospital room in 8 weeks. Needless to say, somehow I was forgotten about and ended up sitting in the hallway for 30 minutes after my ultrasound and for someone who is not used to sitting up for so long, I was completely exhausted the rest of the day. No more wheelchair rides for me.
In other news, we have ultrasounds every other day to check fluid levels and blood flow. All of the results have been great. We have our next growth ultrasound on Monday. Dr. Stoessel says that if Baby C hasn't grown again then it is possible that we may have to deliver them on Monday. If this is the case, I will be sure to update everyone as soon as I know. It is crazy to think that we can possibly be meeting our babies in 2 short days. I would like to thank everyone again for your thoughts and prayers. This has been a very long journey and definitely not what I thought my pregnancy would be like but it will be worth it when we lay eyes on our babies! It's still crazy to think that we are having triplets. Life will never be dull or boring again!!!
