We visited Dr. L. today. From what we could see on ultrasound, the boys heartbeats were great, their fluid sacs were full and they passed all of their breathing and movement tests. We were unable to get an estimate of their weights, but we are guessing that they will all be around 5lbs at birth - which is awesome. As for Mikki, her cervix is still holding strong and she has shown very few signs of premature labor. The last few weeks have been very tough on Mikki, but, overall, she is doing amazingly well.
So, we are a go for September 20! We are as ready as we'll ever be and we are excited to see our boys...Mikki is also really tired of being pregnant. We pray that these little guys will be healthy and strong so that they can avoid the NICU altogether. Having made it to almost 35 weeks, no one would be surprised if one or all of the boys come home with us. However, it is very possible, if not likely, that one or all could spend a week or so in the NICU. We would like to think that we have prepared ourselves for either scenario, but that is probably wishful thinking.
Thanks to everyone for the continued prayers and well wishes. We are very happy to have you with us on this journey.
Hunter and Mikki
