31 Weeks Doctor's Appointment

 I felt great this morning as I went in for my 31 weeks appointment.  I had a lot of energy.  Sometimes getting ready for and getting to my doctor's appointment totally wears me out.  The doctor, nurses, and tech all expressed how proud they were of me for making it this far.  My blood pressure was 100/60, my cervix measured 2cm (the equivalent of being 50% effaced) and I gained 0 lbs. since last week.  My OB did not measure my uterus today, he was in a hurry and behind schedule.  The babies all looked to be doing great.  Their heart rates all continue to be very similar and their fluid levels looked great.  We are all excited and hoping and praying this continues for several more weeks.

My nurses take very good care of me while I am there.  They don't like me to sit and wait in the waiting room.  If all the exam rooms are full, they will put me in the extra ultrasound room so I can lay down.  A couple of weeks ago, I was doing just that and the ultrasound tech that told us we were having triplets saw me and came in worried something was wrong. She was relieved to hear everything was okay and that I was just resting.  She has followed my pregnancy very closely and tries to do my ultrasounds most of the time.  My nurses have also been sending cases of newborn formula home with us the last few visits.  Each case has 24 of the little pre-made formula bottles or in our situation about a day's worth of formula.  I am hoping to be able to pump milk for my little guys, but I love having the back up formula just in case.
