Quick Baby Update!
All babies have good heartbeats and are very active. Cameron has been head down my entire pregnancy, but now he and Katelyn are both breech and Parker is sort of "c" shaped transverse in the middle. Amniotic fluid is great for all 3 babies and my iron has actually come up to 11.4. Yahoo! My cervix has elongated a little bit from 3.4 to 4.0 which is also great. I go back to Dr. Albert on Monday morning for my next cervix check and baby measurement, and then back to Dr. Herzog on Mon., Jan. 26th for my glucose test, Rhogam shot since I'm 0- blood, and steroid shots to start developing the babies' lungs should they decide to come early. They will schedule my C-section when I'm 34 weeks along for 36 weeks if all is well! Even though I'm doing well, I still have to continue bedrest for the rest of the way simply because I'm carrying 3 babies. The doctor said to be thankful because most triplet moms were in the hospital by this point! Whew!Thanks for your prayers and please continue them.

An Eventful Day!
It started at 3:40 a.m. with Savannah waking me up abruptly crying and telling me her left ear hurt and asking if it was time to get up yet! She laid in bed with me for a little bit, and then, thankfully, I was able to put her back to bed and she slept until 7:15 when she came in again crying about her ear. Shawn took her to the CareNow clinic and sure enough, she has her very first ear infection and is on an antibiotic for 10 days for the very first time in her life! Poor Savannah! She also cried when she couldn't put on her church clothes and go to church! After that excitement, Gram and Pop came over to take care of sick Savannah while Shawn took me to L&D at Plano Presbyterian Hospital for monitoring for what I thought was contractions over the past few days and nights. Thankfully, all 3 babies are fine, and it is a false alarm. No contractions or UTI...just irritable uterus for whatever reason. They want me to continue strict bedrest and increase my water intake! Ugh....I'm already wearing out a path to the bathroom! Poor Shawn.....his day was spent missing football games taking his favorite girls to the doctor! Hopefully tomorrow will be more "normal" and less eventful! Praise God that I am NOT having contractions and that the babies are fine. Thank you for your prayers. I will go back to Dr. Herzog on Tuesday afternoon for another baby/cervical length check and evaluation.

Freedom is Gone....Bedrest is Here!!!!
Well, the inevitable has happened.....I'm on official house bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy which can be 11 weeks total if the babies decide to stay in my belly that long! I am not a very good bedrest patient for sure, but I'm committed to doing what's best for these precious babies. I'm sure I will be so sick of my bed, couch, and recliner in no time, but on the bright side of things......I'll get out once a week for the doctor! I knew this day would come, but you're never quite prepared for it! I am so thankful that all the babies are healthy and growing appropriately...Cameron is 1 lb. 13 oz., Parker is 1 lb. 12 oz, and Katelyn is 1 lb. 15 oz. I'm sure Shawn will not enjoy being Mr. Mom, but this too shall pass! Savannah and I should get some good snuggle and book time in for sure every day. Please continue to pray for the health and growth of these babies, and that they will stay in my belly for many more weeks to come.
