Last week the babies were right on track, weighing in at:
2 lbs, 11 oz. - Baby Girl A
2 lbs, 10 oz. - Baby Boy B
2 lbs, 11 oz. - Baby Girl C
This week the babies should all reach 3 pounds, which will take them out of the micro-preemie range - oh, how great that is! We are still hopeful for a 2008 birth date and that this will not be our babies' first Christmas. We got a couple of good sonogram pictures last week. Baby Girl "C" proudly showed us her profile as usual and we found out that Baby Boy "B" and Baby Girl "C" have their heads together at the top of my tummy.
Keith and I refer to me as his "Big Girl/Baby" and that I am. I have some new equipment around my room to help accommodate my inability to accomplish everyday tasks and to avoid strenuous "activity." I now have an orthopedic trapeze above my bed to help me get up without straining or using my abdominal muscles. I also have a bath seat and now have foot pumps in addition to my usual T.E.D. Hose to help prevent blood clots. Two of my nieces visited today and had fun playing on the trapeze bar as shown below.
And the foot pumps that I wear, though not as fun as depicted in the image below, aren't too bad:

Ella and I will be by to do a dance as soon as we get over the sinus funk!! I totally need one of those trapeze things to get out of bed the 5 times I have to pee at night...I can't even imagine trying to get out of bed with 3 of them in there!!!
love,
Andrea
