31 Week Update

We've made it another week...yay! Today the doctor said that each week is a huge milestone, but to remember to take it a day at a time. The boys are doing extremely well.  A few days ago, Baby C had a couple drops in his heart rate during monitoring, so they decided yo administer an ultrasound everyday to keep a closer eye on him. Thankfully, all of his ultrasounds thus far have come back with great results. The doctor thinks he was probably laying on his umbilical cord during monitoring which caused the drop in his heart rate. I'm just glad they're being extra cautious. They complete ultrasounds on all of the boys every Monday and Thursday. It's so nice and reassuring to get to see them all so often.  They will take measurements of the boys again at 32 weeks. I can't wait to find out how much they've grown. My prayer is that they all continue to grow and develop inside of me for a few more weeks!

As  for me, I am still having contractions periodically throughout the day. Luckily, the oral medication is continuing to keep them under control. The doctor says I'm usually running 3 to 4 contractions per hour. However, during the night it's a different story.  Last night the nurse said I was having anywhere from 5 to 8 an hour, which is pushing it.  The good news is this only last a couple hours, and they are not too painful. I'm hoping to remain on the oral medicine as long as possible, but the doctor said that there will probably come a time when it will become ineffective and I will have to go back on the IV medication.
Overall, I really can't complain. I'm  just a little uncomfortable, and I'm getting huge:) I know, the bigger the better! We want three healthy boys! I just  pray that God continues to allow my body to grow and safely carry them for as long as possible.

PS... I will post a picture of my ever-growing belly in the next couple days:)
