We made it to June and to 31 weeks today!
Today we were surprised to have the monthly ultrasound that measures the triplets growth. It was particularly great to have it today because Hannah was here all day instead of having to try to schedule being at the hospital during a work day for the ultrasound. We also had our Quaker Friends here for lunch/grocery delivery, doing the being present and witnessing that our faith community does so well (Thanks Karen and Jeremiah, Stoph and children Graham and Arlie Rose!)
As the ultrasound unfolded over an hour of testing heart beat movements, femur length, head crown size and stomach size. But alas- at the end the information had to be evaluated and interpreted by a doctor... We wondered when we would find out the answer to the big question- WHEN IN THE WORLD WILL WE FIND OUT HOW BIG THEY ARE?! TODAY? TOMORROW?!?!
Two hours later after we both napped, the knock came on the door with an answer from our nurses who went out of their way to get the chart and tell us the news!
*These size weights come from guesstimating with the data but still is a great estimate:
Charlie Libert- 3 lbs, 2 oz
John Lewis- 3 lbs, 7 oz
Peggy Lucretia- 3 lbs, 4 oz
Holy Moly, Laura and Hannah! Triplets! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'll email you also. My son Joe has 2 year old twins. I was at their births also.
I remember your birth well. I even have some pictures.
Eat well and prosper!
