I almost can't believe we made it this far. 28 WEEKS. It's a much more emotional day than I anticipated. We pushed, and pushed and hoped and prayed to get to this point and now we're here - I can't help but be overwhelmed with so many emotions. I'm thankful, I'm relieved, I'm scared, I'm anxious...what next? And what will determine delivery at this point? Things are starting to move along on their own I think now. I am contracting more and they are a bit more intense; my cervix has dilated another cm; my blood pressure is up a bit. All of these things are tell tale signs I think that we're getting closer now.
My doctor returned today and was in bright and early to scan the boys. Babies B&C are still looking fantastic; Baby A's heart rate was the same still, but he's not moving much now and he has not grown much, if at all, over the last 8 days. We're going to continue to watch him very closely; that could be the deciding factor for delivery as well. There are just so many unknowns right now.
The boys continue to get bigger every minute - it's amazing how much my belly has grown in the last few days. We'll try to get another picture this week. Baby B has decided that my bladder makes for a nice pillow - how convenient huh? Something that most of you Mom's have experienced at some point I'm sure.
It will be interesting to see what comes next. It's day to day, and each additional day is a blessing, as we've always said. Happy 28 week "in utero" day boys!

Katie, Chuck and the Boys :) -
YAAAAAAHOOOOOOOO on 28 weeks. We KNEW you could do it. Keep thinking positive - you can get to 32 weeks no problem!
CQ
P.S. I'm glad you don't have carpal tunnel, because if you had to be wearing the TEDS and thoses wrist braces you'd be quite a sight! ( I am wearing the wrist things a lot lately, so I know it's not attractive. I always look like I'm going bowling :)
Kate,
Congratulations to making it to the 28 week mark-how wonderful!
You are so right, you just have to take one day at a time as you have been.
Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way.
Love,
Robin
Kate-
CONGRATS on making the big 2-8!!! Yipeeeee! I'm soooo very proud of you and the boys! Big hugs to you...I know it must be hard to get updates on the boys and know the ultimate fate of our little fighter BabyA. What a little trooper he is!
