A LOT of baby! 33 weeks

I am sorry to keep you all in suspense all day. My appointment this morning took an extremely long time because Koster was having such a hard time getting all the babies measurements because they are so big. Needless to say, I had to rest from the appointment because I was so uncomfortable. Now, on to the good stuff...

The babies all look good - everybody's measurements are just fine. They gained between 7 and 9 ounces in the past two weeks. They now weigh:

Tyler 4 lbs. 5 ou.
Hannah 4 lbs. 3 ou.
Whitney 4 lbs. 4 ou.

I don't know exactly how accurate these weights are because she was having such a hard time measuring their heads, tummies, legs etc. She thinks they are pretty close to accurate, probably within a couple of ounces.

The new plan... Because the babies gained 7-9 ounces in the past two weeks, it is unlikely that they will gain enough to be at the 5 pound mark by next Thursday. So, we are now shooting for 35 weeks and 5 pounds each. I am very happy and thankful for their health, growth and my ability to keep them in, but I was a little disappointed that we are now looking at 2 weeks until their birth instead of 1 week. I really don't think I am going to labor on my own because I haven't yet and my cervix is still holding steady which is surprising all my doctors. It is still at 10 mm or 1 cm, just as it was two weeks ago. I would love to carry them longer, but I don't know if I can physically take much more. Nearly 13 pounds that I am currently carrying is so physically difficult, I can't imagine another 2 pounds. I am just ready to meet my babies, get out of this hospital bed and start this new journey of parenthood. There is a chance they might not even spend any time in the NICU if they are born at 35 weeks and 5+ pounds each. We will be crazy busy getting me recovered and getting everything ready with them coming straight home, but then again, no NICU time will be awesome.





Isn't my belly getting HUGE?!?
