In L&D until delivery...T&P appreciated
Appointment Update:
I came in today for my routine growth ultrasound and when they were measuring Baby B I knew something wasn't right. He hasn't grown very much since our last growth u/s 3 weeks ago. Baby A is now 4 lbs 15 oz, Baby C is 4 lbs. 9 oz. but Baby B is only 2 lbs. 9 oz. He has what they call absent end diastolic flow where the blood flow into the placenta isn't flowing like it should. They don't seem too concerned about this but they did admit me into the hospital today and I will be here until I deliver. I got my first steroid shot tonight to help develop their lungs and will get another tomorrow. I will have pool therapy 2x/day while I'm here and they will hook me up to monitors 3x/day to listen to the babies' heart rates. I could deliver as early as Friday but I could go several more weeks just being monitored here in the hospital, it's all a play it by ear situation. Please say a prayer for these babies (especially baby
that they are healthy when they finally do decide to come.

prayers coming your way!
i have to ask- what is pool therapy? do you get to float around? that sounds nice... as nice as being in the hospital can be - but maybe i'm totally off?
you are so close - a few more weeks would be awesome - even though they will suck in the hosptial. Prayers!
T&P to you and your LOs. Good for you for making it this far, but I hope those babies will keep baking.

Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way. My friend had B/G twins, and her little boy had the same problem, diagnosed at 33 weeks. She made it to 37 weeks and he was 3 lbs 4 oz when he was born. Now, 3 1/2 months later, he weighs over 11 lbs, more than his sister, and doing great.
Enjoy the pool time, and know you're doing the best for your your babies and yourself!
:Lots of T&Ps!!!!! Right now you are in the best possible place for all 3 babies. Rest up and let them get as many calories as they can from you. Hopefully you can make it just a little longer.
