The boys look good today! We just ate breakfast, which they seem to love. We've got some big appetites going on in there I think. They go nuts after I eat. They also have really big feet - another story for later...but if my ribs could talk, they would certainly attest!
The peri came back again yesterday and gave me much the same report as his partner the day before. Good fluid around babies B&C and both are about 2 lbs. now, maybe a bit bigger. The doctor this morning got a good picture of Baby A - sometimes that is really hard depending on the positioning. It was good to see my little fighter so clearly today; his heartbeat beating away. Can't help but wonder how this little one is hanging on - the peri said again yesterday that they really don't understand how he's doing it; my pregnancy seems to be somewhat of an anomaly, considering all of the different complications we've had, yet we're still here.
I can't remember if I already posted this but the latest "plan" is that they will take the babies at 32 weeks if I don't deliver before that time. If something happens to Baby A before that time (even a slowed heartrate), we will deliver. So, that said, we're coming down the home stretch here. Now we just hope and pray that some of the babies currently in NICU will be well enough to go home soon and will open up a few beds for us!
My UTI is much better this morning - I'll spare you the details but got some immediate relief last night after spending several hours in pain and was able to get a decent nights sleep. Poor Chuck was kept up most of the night by a "screamer" next door who was trying to deliver a baby but I apparently slept right through it. It's not often we hear that since our room is at the end of the hall kind of off the beaten path; glad I didn't hear it frankly.
Today's a shower day so I'll be able to get back into my clothes again. I had to put a hospital gown on again yesterday due to the chaos with the catheter etc. so it will be nice to get dressed again. Until tomorrow - enjoy the weekend gang.

Hi Kate-
This is Libbi Fitzgerald, daughter-in-law of Janice and Dennis Fitzgerald. I just wanted to let you know that I have been following your progress and thinking and praying for you and the kids along the way. I am an OB nurse at the hospital and a mother of two little boys. Although I have never been pregnant with multiples, I feel like I can relate to you on some level. I enjoy reading your blogs. Take care.
Yeah - I'm back and you're doing great!!!!! And you look awesome. You're niece is beautiful. So glad that things are going well. 28 weeks tomorrow night. Wow - you're boys are amazing little guys. So glad that you're feeling better.
Love, Tina
