Quadruplets update

ccook1211 · December 2016

I realized that I haven't updated in a while so I thought I would give an update of our appointment today!

Today we had our 23 week appointment. We had our ultrasound and all babies are great and each weighing in at a little over a pound. Baby C is our small one but Dr. says it is not a significant amount and doesn't have any concern. All babies are growing bigger and with that it is harder to get good images. Today we were only able to get good profiles of baby A and baby C!

After our ultrasound we met with my Dr who stated that everything looks great with babies but could tell that I'm growing bigger and things are getting harder. With that she has requested that I be on bedrest at home which means no cooking,cleaning or chasing after our 3 year old (which will be the hardest for me!) We go back on 12/22 to see how the babies are doing and how I am doing. At that point the Dr will decide if I will be able to continue bedrest at home or need to be admitted to the hospital. I have my fingers and toes crossed in hopes I can manage to be home for Christmas, although the Dr made it very clear that ending up in the hospital in the near future is inevitable!

For anyone that would like more consistent updates or would like to follow our journey we also have a facebook group that I will post the link to as well. If the link doesn't work you can find us by searching "the cook quads: four more to adore"

Thanks for the update. I'm so happy your babes are growing and everything is looking positive. I really hope they are able to hold off admitting you until after Christmas. I think I say it every time, but I'm in awe of you! I'm sitting here exhausted and I'm only growing one. If you were my neighbor I might be more motivated haha

So amazing! You're doing great, mama! I hope you are able to get some good rest in, though I can only imagine how uncomfortable you are.

If they want to hospitalize you, hopefully they can wait 4 more days after your appointment so you can be home for Christmas!!! I hope bedrest isn't too awful for you and your 4 littles keep growing!!

Awwww yayyy!!!! Such a great update!! So glad you're all doing well & they're all growing!! I'm sorry you have to be on bedrest at home but at least you have a few more weeks before you get admitted! Fingers crossed you'll be able to stay at home for Christmas! Will continue to send positive thoughts and prayers!

I agree with all of the above. I hope you are able to be home for Christmas so you can have your Christmas with your 3 yo. Also - you are seriously superwoman for carrying 4 little ones. Good luck with the next appointment, and the bed rest.

Thanks so much for the update! Glad that everyone is doing well and prayers that you get to stay at home with your little boy for Christmas before having to be admitted to the hospital.

Great update- glad to hear the 5 of you are doing well

Thank you for all of the support and prayers and well wishes! It truly helps, esp on days when I just want to be done being pregnant. I know all of the pain, sleepless nights and major boredom will all be worth it when I see these 4 little miracles! I know that leaving my son will be harder on me than him but I am dreading the day! Just sending him out with my aunt for the day today was hard! But I know this is just a short period of time and will look back and think that it flew by when I have 5 crazy kids running around!

Glad to hear things are going great.
