Today we had another doctor's appointment. Things are going well, aside from my complete discomfort! Babies look great. They are growing on target, have plenty of fluid, and are constantly kicking each other. My cervix is holding strong at 4.2, which is great. The dr. thinks I will make it to at least 34 weeks as long as things stay this way. My blood platelet count is low, but he doesn't seem to be worried. They are current 114, and if they get below 100, I won't be allowed to do an epidural, so I'll have to have general anesthesia. So we're hoping it stays above 100. As far as the babies growth, here are their weights this week. I was hoping they'd be over 3 pounds each, but it's only been a week.
Baby A: 2 lbs. 14 oz. (no longer the smallest)
Baby B: 3 lbs.
Baby C: 2 lbs. 12 oz.
So all is well. I'm heading off to my parents on Saturday since it's getting too hard to take care of myself, and Nate starts harvest on Saturday. So I'll be back and forth for dr.'s appointments and to visit my busy husband!
We had a hard time getting pics again today since the babies were face down. Here is the only one we could get of Olivia. She was squished....not a great pic, but thought I'd post it anyway.

I don't think I met you at the Winkler Dinner (though maybe I did), but I did meet Nate. Good luck with the triplets!

You look absolutely beautiful! I'm so glad to hear the babies are doing well. I can't believe you'll have them in a month and a half! Let me know when you are here and hopefully we can get together.
Whoa nelly! Reading this brings me back to not very long ago when we were at 28 weeks with the twins. Your stats are solid - I know far too much about this stuff for a man. Its great (knock on wood) the fact that they are 2 plus and 3 lbs already. Coleman was 3'7" at birth at 31 weeks and Max was only 3'2"!!! But he is now a total lunk! Tipping the scales at 17 pounds. You guys are going to be such great parents and we are praying each day for the outfield to debut on gameday very happy and healthy! Hang in there Nate. Mom does the hard work but this ain't no picnic for Dad. One word of advise: sleep. All the positivity in the world coming from the Fahrners.
You look beautiful and YAY for the babies! It sounds like they are doing great! Let me know when you get here and hopefully we can get together. Love, Michelle
