25 weeks pregnant



So far so good with the babies. I had an appointment on the 18th and once again the doctors were impressed with my cervix of steele! They tell me that just about everytime I get it messured, which as of now and for the rest of my pregnancy it will get messured everytime I go in as well as getting an FFN. That is performed like a pap smear and it tells the doctors whether or not you have a chance of going into labor within the next two weeks. So far Im not going into labor! YEY!! These babies need to stay in here as long as possible! I go to the doctor every two weeks right now and soon it will be every week and then 2 times a week! The only thing is that I have to drive an hour just to get to the hospital so hopefully nothing goes wrong and I dont go into labor while im home otherwise that is going to be a very long and noisy drive! Today I actually thought I was going to have to go to the hospital because i hadnt felt my babies move all day, until Corey came home for lunch and tried to get them to move and they did a little but not like normal so i kinda freaked out which is easy for a first time mom! But after he left i turned on some music to see if that would work, they like music a lot, and it worked! They started kicking the crap out of me! Normally it gets kinda painful and almost irritating but not this time because i was worried that something was wrong but they were just sleeping! I think I worried so much because right now they arent as big as they normally would be because of uterine restriction which means my uterus isnt stretching like it needs to for these babies but this is my first time being pregnant so its kinda hard on me. The doctor said that if they werent as healthy as they are that they would have gone ahead and taken them earlier than planned because of the lack of space to grow.

That scared me a little when she said that. But luckily they are developing really well they just arent getting as big as fast as normal triplets but they arent too far behind! Hopefully the restriction doesnt keep up so that I can go as long as they want me to which would be around the first week in August so ill be about 35-36 weeks along so not too far from full term! I dont know how well thats going to work with my body but i know im not going to fight it i want them to stay in there! Well at least until they would have a good start and not have to be in NICU for long! Anyway thats whats happening so far I will post another one when there is more info on them!
