Today I went for my OB Appointment. All is well to report. Weight is great (so they say), blood pressure was good, again something in my urine (sending it out to the lab again, but no worries I never have any symptoms of anything and so I'm not worried), got my flu shot (big deal...I used to get nervous getting shots by IVF took care of that little fear). My cervix is still around 3.0, so ok for now, even though I have contractions ALL day long.
The girls are all OVER ONE POUND!!!!!!!!!! Each of them weighed in at 1 POUND 4 OUNCES! They are perfectly portioned and the nurse said whatever I am doing (meaning feeding them) is perfect! I told her that sentence made my day (since I am trying everything I can do to put food in my tummy)!!!! They are right at the 50th percentile on the graph. Which doesn't worry me, because I (and Tim too) were either in the 25th or maybe the 50th percentile our whole childhood and adolescent years, because were was so tall and skinny!
They were finally able to measure Madelynn's (Baby A) head circumference, (she's been burrowed down in my right hip like a little squirrel and they can't ever seem to get it). I was happy about that! All of them are measuring perfectly and right on track. But Madelynn is still in my hip with her head on my bladder...big surprise there, I could have guessed that one!
I was really surprised that the doctor talked to me about how sorry they were for telling us that Baby C was a boy. It was really sweet and even tough I kind of blew it off and said, it was no big deal, things like that happen, and it was a little early, he really made a point to say that they hardly ever make mistakes and that he was really sorry, and wanted us to know that. Super sweet of him and it did mean a lot to us. That's something I'll remember.
I talked to the doctor awhile for my severe back pain and the fact that I am in tears every.single.night!!!! He suggested physical therapy so I was more than happy to agree! I hope it helps. I can barely sit or stand for more than five minutes. I wake up and I have like an hour before it begins. It's absolutely terrible. The pain is not as low as you would expect in someone carrying a baby or 3, more right up, directly under my shoulder blades. P A I N!!! I have to force myself not to think about it because it is literally one of those pains that can drive you insane!
We did get a few photos but they aren't worth posting. The babies are just so hard to see, and to get them positioned correctly to get good angles is really hard, but I enjoyed watching them kick one another all around! SO sweet I tell ya!
Again, I CANNOT wait to meet these little girls!!!!!
