30 week shots!I did it!!!!!! Or.. I guess I should say that me and the 3 little monkeys did it!!!
We met our next really BIG goal. 30 weeks and 3 pounds + each!!!
I am really ecstatic about this. It's such a big milestone. We had another growth/weight u/s and bio physical profile appointment yesterday. It was great. The babies all still look just perfect and each of the babes passed their Bio profile in less than 5 minutes! This is really great considering that they give each baby 30 minutes to pass each of the tests and my tech told me that some don't pass till the 29th minute and they have to use outside stimulation. Not my monkeys! No one.. nothing can keep them still. Yes.. I am afraid of what they are going to do to us once they are on the outside.
Weights as of Monday, September 22:
Baby A: 3.6 pounds
Baby B: 3.2 pounds
Baby C: 3.8 pounds
I officially have 10 pounds of baby in me!
The only bad thing at the u/s was that they couldn't see my cervix. At all. They said it was more that they thought a baby was in the way then that it was gone. They called Dr. V and he said for them not to do the vaginal check and he would check me Tuesday.
Today we visited with Dr. V for my weekly OB appt. He checked the babies and my cervix. All wsa good. Again. Shock. I continue to be amazed that my cervix has held up this long. Dr. swears it is because the twins.. who sit very low.. are both breech and therefore, the pressure of having their heads down there is a non issue. He is now determined to see me stay out of the hospital till 32 weeks. I will be totally amazed.
On the flip side.. I can seriously hardly move. My whole body aches. The sciatic nerve thing is killing me. It wakes me up 2 or 3 times a night and makes walking really difficult at times. Sleeping is even worse. There is no way to get comfy so I usually end up sleeping in 1.5 to 2 hour intervals through out the day and night.
Of course it will all be worth it for 3 healthy babies who spend just a couple weeks in the NICU. And really, I can do this for 4 more weeks, right????? =)

This is so great to read (not the part about you being so uncomfortable!)!! You're doing so well!!!
You CAN do it. I'm so sorry you're so uncomfortable, but you are doing so great!! Congrats :)
Oh my gosh girl I don't know HOW you do it!! You amaze me :-)
Just found your blog via Little Bites of Heaven and am so impressed you have made it so far in this pregnancy! I hope the discomfort gets a little better...it's so not fun, but so worth it if the little ones stay in longer.
Here's to 30 weeks! Now, keep on hanging in there for 4 more weeks! The babies weights sound great. Glad to hear everything is going well!
