32 Weeks 6 Days

The biggest milestone in our pregnancy has come and gone!! I couldn't be happier and any more proud of the babies! On top of that, the non-stress tests and biophysical profiles have been going excellent. So very grateful! The nurses always ask how I can possibly still have a smile on my face when they see me at the office. How could I not knowing that I have been blessed with 3 amazing lives that I get the privelage of loving for the rest of my life. We have had only one small issue 2 weeks ago, as Baby C's heartrate had shown a deceleration during a major contraction, but we re-tested the next day and everything was great. Since then, the babies have each received a 10/10...2 pts for breathing movements, 2 pts for heartrate, 2 points for tone (reflexes), 2 pts for movement, and 2 points for fluid volume. Savannah has definitely proved that although she is not the biggest and by far has the worst position (squished on the bottom, holding up her brothers), she is the leader. She out-breathes her brothers on every single ultrasound and can hold her pattern for a very, very long time. The other 2 seem to get bored with it or tire out more quickly.
I have gotten the dreaded PUPPS rash, something I had read about early and prayed I wouldn't get! However, I seem to have a very mild case and although steroid cream was recommended, I am getting by without any...whew. No studies have concluded 100% what PUPPS is caused from but from what I have read, it is most common in multiple pregnancies and is possibly caused by male fetus DNA. Thanks boys! ;)
We have another NST appointment on Monday (please make it) and then FINALLY get to see Dr. Huang for an ultrasound on Thursday (which is 2 days from my goal of 34 weeks!), after what has seemed like a very long 3 weeks.
This upcoming week is finals week so I am hoping to complete all of my tests and get them out of the way before making any trips to the hospital. Hope I get my wish! Cook babies, cook!

30 Weeks 5 Days

April 12th-The babies had their second non-stress test (NST) and biophysical profile today along with a growth scan with Dr. Huang. The NST went great. The babies are all practicing breathing and their heartrates looked great throughout the monitoring. Terbutaline free this time!!
The good news continued as we met with Dr. Huang. Baby B now weighs 4 lbs 4 oz., Baby C weighs 3 lbs. 3 oz, and Savannah (Baby A) weighs 3 lbs. 9 oz. Baby C is right on track with his siblings weighing above average at this point. Their weight gain should have slowed significantly by this point but somehow they are still finding room to put on some baby fat :) I am so proud of them. I am pretty much on complete bedrest except for doctor appointments and to make meals during the day. I am so grateful for being able to finish out the school semester completely online! We will begin going to the doctor twice a week from here on out to have the babies monitored as they grow and their room to do so is decreasing. On to 32 weeks! This will be a huge milestone (as this is the average length of a triplet pregnancy) and I cannot wait to feel a bit of relief! I take every single day after 32 weeks as an amazing gift!
