28 week Appointment

Yesterday (Wednesday) we had our 28 week appointment to check on the amigos. It was really uneventful, which is wonderful! We had an ultrasound where the technician observed each of the heartbeats, and they were all normal. She also measured the amniotic fluid level of each of the babies. Each baby is in his own amniotic sac, which is really good for the babies. Even though it seems like they must be all scrunched up in there, they have cushioning by being in their own sacs. All of the fluid levels looked good, with one level slightly elevated. There are all kinds of reasons for elevated fluid levels, and also all kinds of treatments, but there is no reason to be concerned at this point. The doctors were happy with everything they saw!

I also got another fetal fibronectin test. This is the test that predicts preterm labor for the next 2 weeks. I haven't gotten the results yet, but there are no other indications that anything is going on, so we should be fine on that account too!



We're on to weekly appointments now, which will be fun. It's always nice to see the boys in there squirming around! It's so funny to see them moving around like crazy! I don't know what they're doing, but I think it must be fun!



Oh, another interesting tidbit... I measured myself around today and it's 48.5" - just over 4 feet! Attached is the 28 week picture as well - large and in charge! In honor of the beginning of football season, GO STEELERS! The Quest for Seven begins!
