Just some quick notes about our appointment today with Dr. LaFranca - all good things. Mikki is 20 weeks today. Three nurses put three fetal heart dopplers on Mikki's belly and they were able to isolate each baby's heartbeat. All were distinct and strong, each rhythm slightly different than the next. It was truly amazing to hear!
The girls, Claire and Caroline, got to join in on the fun. Claire assisted Dr. LaFranca with measuring Mikki's belly. She measured 29 weeks (though we all agree she looks close to full-term). Claire was very excited that Dr. LaFranca let her take home the measuring tape with instructions to measure mommy every few days and report back.
All told, we were sent home with good vibes. Mikki and the babies are progressing perfectly. By every indication, we should get through the next month or so without having to worry with bed rest or other restrictions. This is good considering the demanding schedule of our current trio of kids, who (shockingly) feel as though they are deserving of our love and attention despite all this talk about the triplets! And, of course, they are correct.
Great news! Oh, and I added yall to the mailing list. There's a member who moved here from BR last year, so she may know if there's a group there.
