Well I am officially in my 17th week!! I almost
feel like I am halfway (WOOHOO!), although I am hoping to make it to 36 weeks.
Anyways, I had another appointment yesterday and was able to
peek at my beautiful little babies! I didn’t get printed out pictures this time
which is a bummer, but next time I will. The babies were moving and playing
like always, they are very active little ones. The most exciting news we got
was when one of the little identical twins decided to stick his tiny booty
right in our faces! This did confirm we are having two identical little
boys!!!! Christian was thrilled when I called with this news, I think in the
back of his mind he feared all three babies being little girls! Don’t get me
wrong, he loves being a daddy to his princess but man would he be out numbered!
Ha! Unfortunately, our third little one was being shy AGAIN lol.. so we are
still calling baby C a she.
In more boring news, I did my 1 hour glucose sugar test (the
test where they have you drink that gross sugar drink and get your blood taken
an hour later) and I passed!! Thank goodness, most moms with triplets don’t pass
the hour test and have to come back to do the five hour test, meaning you get
your blood drawn five times! This is not fun for anyone lol! Then yesterday I
got my blood drawn for the quad screening which tests for certain birth
defects.
The most recent “drama” is that I STILL have not seen a
perinatologist or maternal-fetal medicine specialist! These are doctors who
specialize in high-risk pregnancies. My insurance is Kaiser and unfortunately
there aren’t any Kaisers in the Savannah area. I have been dealing with Kaiser
over the phone for a few months now in attempt to get a referral to the
specialist, which is all I need for Kaiser to cover the visits. I even “HAD” to
drive 8 hours round trip to Atlanta for an initial visit with Kaiser. I was under
the impression I would be getting a referral to the specialist then but unfortunately
I am still waiting. Thankfully Kaiser is paying my regular OBGYN, so I have
been seeing him regularly but he is very persistent that the babies and I need
to be checked and okayed to fly before we leave on the 24th! So I will keep you updated on when I finally
get to see the specialist!
Well, this entry was slightly boring but I will add a baby
bump picture!
Oh and yes, this picture was at work 😕 my last day! So bitter sweet, I loved my job!
