7/20/11 19 weeks

   Today I saw Nancy, the nurse practitioner at Tristate Maternal Fetal Medicine. Everything is looking great. They have done an ultrasound of my cervix each week since 16 weeks to make sure that there is no shortening which could indicate a risk for preterm labor. Fortunately, the cervix has been looking great with no sign of changes. The ultrasound also looks at the babies heartrates which have all been good and strong. My uterus measures 26 cm at 19 weeks gestation. With a single baby you would anticipate the uterus measuring around 19 weeks!
   The babies are really starting to move now. Baby C always gets the pot stirring!
   This is my last week of work. I can't believe I'm already to this point in the pregnancy. As much as I thought the doctors were crazy initially when they said bedrest at 20 weeks, I'm actually very grateful now. These babies really do suck a lot out of me!
   We are so thankful that everything is going so well. What a huge blessing. Continuing to pray that God will see these babies through each critical step of their development and that the ultrasound next week will reveal 3 healthy babies growing big and strong.

I saw Dr. Marcott today and everything is looking great. He said my uterus at 15 weeks is measuring 23 cm. My belly is really starting to pop! We discussed bedrest starting at 20 weeks which is when I will be taken off work and begin resting in a reclined position for 6-8 hrs a day. As much as I can't imagine what this will be like, I'm thankful for the extra time to rest and the extra quality time I'll get to spend with Craig and Adalyn before the babies arrive.
