31 Weeks

We made it to 31 weeks! YAY! Really that should read like yay. I'm excited, but I'm uncomfortable. Everything is harder now...which is to be expected, but good grief! I fall asleep a lot during the day, and one night I even fell asleep on the phone with Andy.

They did a growth scan today and the weights are listed below.
A-3.0lbs
B-3.3lbs
C-3.6lbs (her estimate was hard to get because of how she was folded up and the tech said she may have over estimated her weight)
D-2.14lbs

The blood flow looks good to all the babies, but they did say it was on the high end of normal. If next week it is abnormal they'll go ahead and take the babies. Because being on the high end of normal can lead to abnormal. My next appointment is Thursday so we'll see.

My cervix is still closed and high, but softer because there is a baby pressing against it. I feel the pressure from this especially when I stand up.

My right leg is still swollen, but I don't have a blood clot. They did an ultrasound to make sure, and now I'm wearing TED hose. I call them socks because they don't go over my knee, but the real name is hose. My arms are still lumpy and bruised from the shots I get twice a day. They've stopped giving it to me in my arms, and are now giving them in my left thigh. They have to check to make sure it is ok to give the shot in my right leg since it is swollen. We'll see. Everyone thinks I'm exaggerating the bruises on my arms from these shots, but then they see my arms and are shocked.

I met another doctor here this week. I met her briefly when I was in L&D, and she is awesome. One of my favorites. I look forward for her to come by each day, and will be sad when her week is over tomorrow because she makes me laugh. The resident that I see everyday is off next week so I'm hoping to make it to the Monday after I hit 32 weeks so she can be there for the delivery.

Those are all the updates I have for now.
