Baby Update!

Went to the Perinatologist again this afternoon and everything and everyone looks great. Amniotic fluid, placentas, cervix all look good. Cameron weighs 1 lb 2 oz., Parker is 1 lb, and Katelyn is 1 lb. 1 oz. All 3 babies are growing appropriately, and the doctor is pleased with everything. He has reminded me to lay down or recline as much as possible. Oh boy! Another thing...I asked the doctor about having my car accident a few more weeks into my pregnancy and the impact on the babies, and he said...."It would have been catastrophic...you would have lost your babies!" God is so good to protect me, Savannah, and these precious babies! Wow!

Dental Trauma!

Savannah visited Dr. Hunter in Allen today for x-rays and an exam for her lower teeth trauma from the accident last week. Thankfully, she only had 1 loose tooth and x-rays didn't show any major damage. Now we just wait and see what happens. We go back for a followup visit at the end of January and hopefully that tooth will have tightened up. They also re-xrayed her top teeth from her sippy cup trauma this past summer and everything looks really good with them. Praise the Lord Savannah seems to be doing well!

Savannah's Not Quite Smiling with Santa!

Savannah had lunch with Santa today in Allen, but she wasn't quite sure she liked Santa. She did manage to tell him about the babies and that mommy needed a new van!

Wreck Update!

Praise the Lord that Savannah, the babies, and me are all doing okay today. Savannah is still with grandparents in Arlington and will most likely come home tomorrow. She is doing fine....the bruises and burns on her neck are better but her teeth appear to be hurting her. I have a dentist appt. for her on Mon. morning. Apparently, she is having trouble biting....Nana is breaking things into pieces and she is able to eat them. She is happy and seems to be unaffected by yesterday's trauma. All 3 babies are doing well, strong heartbeats, actively moving, long cervix, and good amniotic fluid. My iron is the lowest it's ever been, so the doctor is very concerned about my anemia. I am going to try different medication with folic acid and iron mixed, prenatal, and 1 extra iron pill per day to see if this will help. That explains why I have just been so tired. I will begin weekly monitoring now through delivery alternating weeks between my OB and Perinatologist. They want to check the babies and my cervix weekly. Wow! My nose is still swollen and very sore, burn still hurts on my left hand, and every part of my body is soooo sore...especially my neck, but I'm okay. My car was towed to Nissan's body shop in Rockwall, so we made the trip out there today to recover all the items from my car and take pictures. Wow! Jesus and His angel were definitely in charge yesterday and watching over us. We are so eternally grateful for His grace and protection. Haven't heard from anybody's insurance yet and the copy of my police report is still unavailable. What a mess! Enjoy a picture of my car and of precious Parker from this morning!

Savannah in Jail????

Enjoy some silly pictures of Savannah with some props provided by the Villages in Allen. It was cold and windy, but she had fun posing anyway.

Perinatologist Visit!

I went back to the Perinatologist this morning for him to measure and check on the babies and my cervix. Good news....all 3 babies are growing appropriately and cervix is good and long. Cameron is the largest at 15 ounces followed by Parker and Katelyn at 13 ounces each. Cameron is head down and Parker and Katelyn are both breech at this point. Amniotic fluid on all 3 is great, and the doctor still thinks the boys are identical with the thin membrane that separates them. Cervix measured 4.2 mm and looks good. The doctor has not put me on bedrest but on decreased activity. He wants me to get help with Savannah and stay on the couch as much as possible. This is because the more I stand and am active, the more weight the 3 babies push on my cervix and stitch which could cause the cervix to thin and begin pre-term labor. The next 8 weeks are very critical. He explained to me that at 24 weeks, the babies have a 48% chance of normal survival outside the womb and at 28 weeks, they have a 98% chance of survival. So, he wants me to rest to give these babies the best opportunity possible to stay in there as long as possible. So, I guess Savannah and I will be home a lot more in the coming weeks. Please continue to pray for the health and safety of the babies and for them to continue growing inside the womb without pre-term labor. Enjoy some pictures from today-- first one is Katelyn, then Parker, then Cameron.

Gingerbread House

Savannah had 3 friends over this morning to make gingerbread houses, play, and eat lunch. A good time was had by all! The mommies had to put the houses together, and believe me, this was some task, and then the kids helped put the candies on the houses. Enjoy a few silly pictures of Savannah and her house.
