Triplets on Tax Day??

Well we are down to the wire and I think everyone is sitting on pins and needles at this point. The absolutely wonderful news is that we are 32 weeks today!!! As my doctor said today, "32 weeks is a great place to be." After being told all the risks involved in this pregnancy and all the things that might go wrong or could go wrong, it is really nice to hear we are at a good place. I'm not naive enough to think there may not be any problems to come, but I feel very blessed to have come this far. With all that said, last Monday I began having regular contractions. Luckily, I was at the doctor already so they were able to watch me on the monitor. My primary OB was out of town all week, and the OB I saw was one familiar with my case. She has a very different outlook on things than I do. Her line of thinking was "you have made it this far and it is farther than a lot of women carrying twins. I don't think we would stop you if you go into labor." My way of thinking is, if my body is handling everything ok, the babies are ok, then I want them to stay put for as long as possible. Luckily, my primary OB feels the same way. After last Monday things settled down and my contractions have not been as frequent. They still come and go, but not nearly as intense. Today, everything looked great! It was the quickest NST I have had and we were done with monitoring in about 30 minutes. Via ultra sound today, the fluid looks good, babies look good. Caroline and Ethan are head up and Gabe is head down and sitting pretty low. I feel he is the reason for a lot of my discomfort. I am not dialted, which to the doctors and nurses is shocking, but they are pleased. My cervix is softer than before, but not by much. Next Monday they will do a growth ultra sound to see approximately how much the babies are weighing. Dr. Christine says this will go a long way in helping us determine where we are headed with delivering them. IF all looks good then she will let me go unil week 35 which happens to fall on tax day. She will not let me go past Wednesday of that week. IF I make it until week 35 there is a possibility of not having a NICU stay. IF the babies are not gaining like they should or something looks unusual on the ultra sound Monday, then she will schedule me for week 34. So let's all be happy for once about April 15th and pray for tax day!!! :) We are all taking everything one day at a time. Michael is working, what seems to be, around the clock to make sure everything is perfect. Tripp is getting more and more excited. He is also a lot more clingy and knows that changes are happening. He loves Ragball and I think it is a great distraction for him and will continue to be. He kisses the babies often and tells me that my tummy is getting so big and it is going to pop. :) Thank you all so much for your prayers and words of encouragement. It means the world to us. Keep the prayers coming, they have gotten us this far!! Love!!!
