OK, now I'm getting excited! I have hit my goal and now readjusted it to June 1st. I have a scheduled c-section on that day and I sure hope we make it there- but even if we don't things look wonderful for the girls. Even at the 36 weeks (June 1) they could spend some time in the NICU but there's that outside chance we pray for that they will come home with us.
The girls are also growing- Dave thinks if we make it to June that maybe they can drive our exhuasted butts home from the hospital. Again, the weights are estimates so there is a margin for error but I still like how they sound!
Baby A: 4lb 10oz up 1lb, 7oz from 3lb, 3oz
Baby B: 5lb, 8oz up 1lb, 9oz from 3lb, 15oz
Baby C: 5lb Up 1lb, 11oz from 3lb, 5oz
The ultrasound tech guesses that Baby A is between 4- 4.5 lbs; Baby B at 5-5.5lbs, Baby C at 4.5 - 5lbs. I hope my math is correct on the weight increase- I'm slightly overwhelmed by it all and a little hungry.
All the girls have hair and I'm packing the cute bows and bow "glue" to take to the hospital. The bag is pretty well pack except for the last minute stuff but the names are still up in the air. We may just take our list with us and see who "looks" like who. There are a few things left to do in the nursery like drapes and my bed. I have also found a retired NICU nurse (not the crazy one I meet at Walgreens and saw stealing a power bar) to interview for nighttime shifts so we won't be begging our friends at 2am. Things are really coming together and we appreciate the babies patience while we slowly get ready- bless their hearts.
Oh,those %#(&$ bathrooms! They were going to be finished after delivering the cabinets on Friday but the stain is all wrong and they picked them up to refinish them. The girls will be here before the cabinets for sure! I can't believe all the miscommunication with this one project. I no longer tear up when I hear it will take longer- now I get raging angry which Dave finds some humor in, yet he's a little frightened.
All in all, my spirits are pretty good with all of this. My knees hurt when I get up and now baby A is lodged near my left hip and sometimes it just stops working. The days after my doc. appt. are the worst since my energy is zapped but I just continue to hang out- most likely because there is little else I can physically do. You really don't realize how clumsy you are until you are pregnant and constantly dropping things that you can't pick up. Even if I try sometimes my hip goes out and I can't get to it! My 90 year old neighbor broke his hip about 4-6 weeks ago and is doing better than I am. I think he could beat me in a race with his walker, maybe I should take the tennis balls off it to give me an advantage??!!! All of this is pretty comical and so close to being over that I have no real complaints, except I need a burger and some Texas sheet cake. Time to call Duffy's for delivery!!!
Hope to make another week to do another post.
Please keep up the amazing prayers to help us get to June 1st or really close! I don't want the babies to come early next week because Elle has finals and I know she will walk out on them unexcused to be there for her sisters.
