Hi Everyone! We are back from our doctor appointment. Today was a Biophysical Profile ultrasound and a doctor visit. They saw breathing motions for all three babies and normal fluid for Babies A and B. Baby C didn't have any further increase in her amniotic fluid and the increased blood flow resistance in her umbilical cord was the same as last time as well. All things considered, a good report!
My blood pressure was good, no protein or glucose in the urine, and, believe it or not, I actually lost 5 pounds! I can't imagine how since I am eating all the time, but since the doctor isn't worried neither are we. We discussed the switch to heparin in light of our visit to labor and delivery but the doctor didn't think it was necessary right now - he would like to save me an additional injection a day as long as possible. Speaking of additional injections, I will be taking additional insulin before dinner through the weekend to try to get better control of my glucose levels. Depending on how they respond I may be able to drop the shot after the weekend.
I am feeling exhausted most of the time these days, hauling around this belly is getting harder, sleeping is in one hour stints, and various aches and pains are becoming more insistent, but given that I am 30 weeks pregnant with triplets I am quite glad to still be at all mobile and definitely to still be at home. Jon is trying to settle into a pattern with working at home and taking Harry to school. It's getting a little better, but it's still a challenge for him. Harry is really enjoying kindergarten. He loves his teacher and says the whole class is friends! He starts gymnastics again Saturday and Sunday School again on Sunday. I guess the summer really is over!
Our next appointment is Thursday, September 11. Hopefully, this week will be uneventful and that will be my next posting!
