Everybody looks good; going home tomorrow!

Hi all!

We have finished our first ultrasound of the day, and everybody looks good. Anna weighs 2 lbs., 5 oz.; Matilda is 2 lbs., 11 oz.; and Noah is 2 lbs., 12 oz. Matilda and Noah are at normal weights for their ages, and while Anna is still a little small, she is "normal small," according to the doctor. Similarly, Matilda and Noah had normal fluid levels, and Anna had "low normal" fluid levels. They have certainly grown quite a lot in the past two weeks! The doctor was happy to tell us that we could go home. YAY!!!!

The babies are very wiggly these days, and they keep changing positions. Today all three heads were lined up on my left side, going up. Their heads are all bigger than 3 inches from front to back so this row of heads explains why I was having so much trouble sleeping on that side last night. Their bodies were far less orderly though--somehow, both Matilda and Noah seemed to be kicking Anna in the bum!

We have the fetal echo this afternoon, but the doctor seemed to feel that it would be just fine since all the fluid levels look so good. After this, he felt like we could go back to doing one ultrasound a week. Thank goodness for that--the ultrasounds make my back hurt, and they make the babies extremely wiggly!

Thanks, as always, for all of your support. Since the babies have reached 28 weeks, delivery is an option if anything goes wrong at this point. Their chances are very good now, and we are much relieved. Of course, we're going to try to keep them baking for a few more weeks still. :)
