Mom was my +1 since Kyle had Dawson and Libby yesterday. Mandy took a little vaca from her child care duties yet somehow she ended up at the pool with Kyle and all the kids, lol. Guess it's different when its your relatives?
They first did all my stats which I always love getting on the scale, j/k. My blood pressure is holding steady at 112/72 which is excellent!
Next we went for the ultrasound with one of my favorite techs. She is always so nice and the only one that calls the babies by names once she is reminded of them.
Ali was, as always, not cooperating. She was facing my back so we still can't see her face and haven't for months. She was active and measuring 2lb 13oz!
Sadie was next and very active. As the tech scrolled over her head, which her and Ray were head to head, she said, "Sadie has lots of hair, long hair", she tried to show us what she was talking about but I'm not sure I can see it. She even took a picture of it. Sadie posed for the camera as always measuring 2lbs 13oz.
Last but not least is baby Ray, he was active as well. Just as we started the ultrasound I was having pain in my left side which concerned Nurse/Dr Lady. It was Ray's butt! They are large enough now to get in a ball and push out on my stomach which doesn't feel very good. Anyhow Ray measured perfect and posed for a little picture. He is now the smallest at 2lbs 12oz.
When the tech was finished measuring them she checked them to see if Ali would turn over and that was a big NO. She also checked and they all have hair but Sadie has been growing hers for a while.
The girls are still breech and Ray is transverse. I am hoping they turn so we don't have to worry about hip problems later.
As for me, well they don't check my cervix anymore which I think is odd. I posted it in my triplet group and apparently it is the same for all the triplet moms. One said they stop doing it so they don't induce labor.
Next we talked about my rash, she asked if the prescription was helping. I mean it is a little I think but my feet are still crazy itchy at night. She sent me for blood work to make sure it wasn't more serious and anything that would harm the babies.
She said I was doing great and didn't look like I had three babies in there, to which I laughed. She asked about work again and said it is typical that a mom carrying triplets at 29 weeks would not be working but she understood if I was sitting and still doing ok. She did say at about 32 weeks it was time for a new plan. I'm not going to lie, I would love to not have to get up and make my way to work everyday but I had a plan too that kept me on PTO the majority of my maternity leave so I get 100% salary and don't have to pay back benefit premiums upon my return. Oh well, I have to just come to terms with the new plan.
BTW: I got all the baby clothes put away last night after receiving my drawer organizer in the mail. I also got the diaper caddy so we are getting ready. As I sorted through the clothes I realized the girls only have two sleepers each, well maybe four but two sets were in my hospital bag. Guess I will start clearance shopping so they have more since Ray has his hand me downs from Karson.
