Updates from the past month..

August 10th

I will just start off by saying... I know I stink at this blogging stuff! Since my last post, I have to say the family shower was wonderful! It is great to have such a wonderful family. Babies room is very close to be finised! We had a small crisis with the fabric,thinking that it may had been discontinued, but after driving all over the world (thank you, honey!) we found some the jungle fabric. Yeah!

During the past month, I have seen both doctors twice, and not much has changed other than the size of my belly!!! High Risk, says everything is still looking great. This past appointment, he did the FFN swab (checks for pre-term labor, and that came back negative, so that is a bonus! Two weeks ago, I did my first glucose tests, which checks for gestational diabetes and that came back clear as well. I am measuring 7 weeks ahead, so 31 weeks. WOWZERS!! In two weeks, I go back to see both doctors on the 25th. They will do a full growth scan to see how all three babies are growing. They did this at 14 weeks, and all three were measuring the same. That is what we are hoping to see at the next appointment. With Dr. Gardner, I do a repeat Glucose test, just because I am carrying multiples.

I began back to school this Monday... a little nervous on how I will hold up, but I must keeping looking ahead and taking each day with a blessing. Dr. Thigpen tells me I am super woman... he says he has never seen a mother carrying multiples do as well as I have up to this point. What a blessing! We continue to pray that I am able to carry these babies as long as possible. I have days that I am pretty uncomcomfortable, but that is just how it is! Anyone that complains about morning sickness during the first 12 weeks like most pregnancies are, I just want to give a big laugh! Thanks for continuing to follow... and I hope to do better about updates!
