Today turned out to be our last MFM appt. Mikki is 31 weeks and 5 days. The boys have grown a pound a piece in the last 2 weeks; Jackson is now 4 lb. 13 oz., and Maxwell and Harrison are both 4 lb. 3 oz. Jackson is in the 81st percentile and M and H are in the 64th percentile - on the single baby chart. All of the boys, and all of their parts, looked really good. So, MFM decided that they did not need to see Mikki or the boys again. They told us that we can look forward to scheduling the c-section b/w 34 and 35 weeks, assuming, of course, Mikki does not go into labor prior to then. That would put the boys' arrival between Sept. 15 and Sept. 22.
We visited with Dr. L after MFM. She found that Mikki's cervix was holding, but she recommended that we (and by we I mean Mikki) go forward with a steriod injection to bolster the boys lung development. Mikki received one shot today and she will get a second shot tomorrow. Maybe the boys will come out ripped!...ok...ok...that would just be weird. Mikki then signed all of her consent forms and we were given a copy of her file in case she goes into labor unexpectedly. Dr. L scheduled us for another appointment in one week, at which point we will (I think) schedule the c-section.
We did not get any good pics of the boys today as they are just a jumbled mess. We will try to post some other photos (baby stuff and perhaps THE belly) this weekend.
It's starting to get very real! We will soon be the parents of triplet - possibly identical - boys. Whoa.
