(26w6d)
So my luck ran out.
I am currently blogging from a hospital room while sporting a hiney-baring gown complete with three heart rate monitors and one tocometer straped to my belly. Quite a site, I assure you.
In short (since I am exhausted and attempting to type this using a tv screen across the room which i cannot reliably see well), my blood pressure was 160/100 and my kidneys (despite the strict talking-to they received just prior to their moment in the sun) started spilling protein.
Yep, game over.
Luckily, since being in the hospital, my blood pressure has improved and my labs came back fairly normal, thus I was able to avoid the pre-third trimester emergency delivery. But attempting to monitor three VERY wiggly little ones on the monitor all at the sme time proved nearly more than the antepartum staff could manage. Luckily, all babies look good and healthy.
Since I have been such a "good patient" and things are looking ok, there is a slim possibility that I will be set free tomorrow.
Considering the lecture I received from Dr. Peri this morning, (a la... you will be in the hospital until these babies come out whether that is tomorrow or 6 weeks from now)... I'm not holding my breath.
More tomorrow....

After spending several years in the quagmire we call infertility, I am now sporting quintuplets... Ummm... make that triplets (the latest must-have fashion accessory). If our IVF journey was any indication, this will be a very eventful pregnancy.
About Me
- Catherine
- Matt and I are 30-somethings who after years of infertility have finally hit the jackpot... a pregnancy. A really big pregnancy, actually. Five heartbeats. But we lost a set of identical twins at 10 weeks. The triplets were born August 12th at 29w3d.

That is too bad that you landed in the hospital... But so good that those babies are not coming out yet... Keep your chin up! All will work out for the best!
You tell talk to those little babies and tell them to keep there little buns in there. Good luck with everything. I hope you are set free soon!
Luckily your hiney's pretty cute! Or this WOULD be bad! :)
We love you, are praying for you, and are very excited to meet the munchkins. Now I won't be the newest member of the family anymore- yeah!
