27 weeks 6 days

On March 22nd, I had what would hopefully be my first and last glucose screening for gestational diabites. The next day, I was so relieved to have gotten word that I passed with flying colors! I could have also been a tad bit excited about still being able to enjoy a Slurpee or two :) We also visited Dr. Huang for a growth ultrasound and were so grateful that the babies are doing well! Savannah now weighs 2 lbs 7 oz, Baby B weighs 3 lbs, and Baby C weighs 2 lbs 5 oz. I asked Dr. Huang if we should be concerned that Baby B continues to widen the weight gap between himself and his brother and sister, and he said absolutely not. Upon birth, the average triplet weighs 3 lbs 12 oz., so for now...go Baby B! :)  He also told me that it is often the heaviest baby who spends the most time in the NICU. Since they typically do not display any stress in the womb, they become completely comfortable and are oblivious that their time in there is nearing and don't practice doing the things that they should be. The babies who are more in distress (weight or otherwise) are continually feeling the need to prep themselves for life outside of the womb and are more easily able to adapt to things like breathing on their own. Interesting! I am so proud of all 3 of them.As for me, my cervix checked out great despite a large increase in contractions. In fact, the previous Sunday, Reginald and I spent the day in the hospital because they were far too regular. While I was there, they performed a fetal fibronectin to test my suseptibility of going into labor within the next two weeks. It returned negative, thank goodness! Four Procardia pills later and with contractions 5-6 min apart, they let us go home. I now take medication 'round the clock to control them and have accepted that the better days I have experienced occured because I was in bed. So for now, I try to spend as much time in it as I can.
I wish I had some good pictures to post from the growth scan but they all look like a mosh pit of arms and legs :) Hopefully I will have some soon!
