Sweet but Uncooperative Babies

Lots going on in our world. We are 26 weeks into our pregnancy today. We started the morning with my trip to labor and delivery to be monitored. What normally takes a singleton pregnancy 20 minutes or so, took this mommy of three 2 hours! These babies refused to sit still. :) Two nurses and an ultra sound machine later they gave up on getting them all at the same time. The poor nurse had to resort to hold one monitor on my stomach at a time and chase the heart beat. Next we saw the ultra sound tech who did a couple of 4-d pictures. The bottom baby, who we haven't decided on a name yet, gave us a sweet picture and Caroline did too. Gabe, however, did not want to have his picture made. So maybe next time. I saw the dr and everything looks great. I received my first steroid shot today and go back tomorrow for the second. We will continue weekly visits. Week after next I get my blood sugar checked....not looking forward to that. If everything continues to go well, it looks like we will schedule these babies for a C-section the first or second week in April. We are praying very hard we make it. On the home front we are making progress....or Michael, family, and friends are making progress. I am laying in a bed watching. We have sweet friends that are painting a tree with animals in the nursery. I have lots of boy clothes but I need to get busy buying some girl clothes. Michael and I are trying to include Tripp in as much as we can with all the baby "stuff" so he doesn't feel left out. We have also been trying to make extra family time for the three of us. It is a sweet time for us, but a twinge of sadness knowing how fast four years flew by and in a few short weeks our family of three will officially become a family of six. If the memories to come are as a great as the memories we have already made then I can't wait. Looking forward to seeing my sweet, uncooperative babies in person...just not for a few more weeks!!
