32 weeks!

I've made it to 32 weeks! Carrying triplets has finally caught up to me. I am mostly homebound now trying to relax as much as possible. My goal is to get to at least 34 weeks. However, this is going to be the longest couple of weeks of my life. And then I could still go longer! It sounds like if nothing happens we will meet these little guys by 36 weeks. I have a feeling I'm looking at another 2weeks or so.
I had another Dr. appointment yesterday & they did some sort of bio-physical testing to make sure the babies were doing well. It is routine for high risk pregnancies. Each baby has 30 minutes to do certain movements & they check to see if the babies are breathing so they check the diaphram for expansion & contraction. Baby A, probably a bit sleepy wasn't cooperating so as a percaution his fetal heart rate was monitered to make sure the heart rate increased with movemnet. Everything turned out great! The babies have adequate fluids & are getting bigger with each day. Everyday in utero is one less day in the NICU!!!!! At this rate they may come right home!
So many people have expressed wanting to volunteer & help in some way after the babies arrive. This will be an absolute God send! Unfortunetly I havn't kept a list of these people. I'm in the process of trying to figure out what we need, whether it's help with Reilly and/or help with feeding rocking etc. I hope to send out an email soon to get an idea of who wants to volunteer & to find out what day/time/frequency each person is available.
Rick & I feel so blessed to have you all in our lives! The love and support has already been so tremendous! This is going to be an incredible journey and we're overjoyed to share this miracle with all of you!!
