Thank Heaven for Little Girls



We FINALLY decided on first names for the girls. Baby A is Addison, baby B is Emery and baby C is Harper. We are still working on middle names. The color PINK is slowly entering our home more each day as we attempt to finish the nursery. It is pretty amazing looking at three cribs in one room and trying to imagine what it will be like when we bring them home.
Today we had our 26 week doctor appointment and the girls look beautiful and healthy. We have two good 3D pictures of Addison and Emery, but Harper had her leg in front of her face doing a pike move so she didn't want her picture taken today. All three girls were actually in the pike position at some time during the ultrasound. Addison and Emery are both in the breech position and Harper is in the oblong transverse position. I had a fetal fibronectin test today which will indicate a possible risk of preterm labor within the next two weeks. I'll start home monitoring Monday. The doctor said we need to keep the girls in there at least four more weeks to have healthy babies without too much worry. Our goal right now is to make it 34 weeks, so we will have less time in the NICU. We are so touched by your prayers for our sweet girls and growing family.
