Hi everyone! This week has been quite an experience. First off, the babies are doing great and all is well with their health. I will get back to them in a second, but wanted to fill you in on what has been going on. Monday, we went in for our Level I ultrasound and like I said, everything was great. When they checked Shara's cervix, they noticed it went from 3.5 cm 2 weeks ago to 2.2 cm. The number is still okay, but the change made the doctor concerned enough to admit Shara for 48 hours. After getting settled in, she was experiencing some contractions, but with some fluids and some medicine, the contractions got under control. They did give her steroid shots for the babies to help their lung development, but things are stable now. We are going to find out Wednesday if Shara can go home or stay in the hospital for a while longer. Either way, she will be on strict bed rest now. We knew this was a possibility and here we are. We will do anything the doctors need us to do to make sure those little munchkins stay indoors for at least 10 more weeks! Shara's spirits are great and she is keeping us all laughing. The staff here are fantastic and make us feel at home. I have been sleeping on a cot is Shara's room, and there is no place else I'd rather be.
Now onto the better news. The babies are growing like crazy! Their heartbeats are 144, 150, 151 bpm respectively. Their weight is what was surprising to us! Baby A is 1 lbs - 12 oz, Baby B and C are 1 lbs - 8 oz each. They all gained almost a pound each in 4 weeks! We were blown away! I will post the ultrasounds when we get home (haven't been home since, haha!).
I should have posted earlier so people were not wondering, and I apologize for that. Just keep those positive vibes flowing and feel free to call or email anytime. We will keep everyone posted!
