I was really hoping my cervix would continue to stay long, but unfortunately, it shortened a bit this week. It had been staying around 4.5 for the past weeks, but I noticed right away on the u/s that it looked shorter. When I asked the tech the length she said she'd let Dr. N review it and see what he thought. So I knew it wasn't great because usually the tech tells me right away. When we met with Dr.N he said it had shortened but that it is to be expected in a triplet pregnacy, so I shouldn't be too worried... but he did say that if it cotinues to shorten that I would need to be admitted to the hospital. So I need to do my best to stay laying flat as much as possible, aka modified bedrest.
I'd also been having more contractions which have been lasting longer. Dr. N also said this is normal because my uterus is now the size of a full-term uterus. He prescribed Nefedipine to reduce contractions, and said to stay well hydrated. I've only been on them for a day, but I have noticed fewer contactions.
At 25 weeks... measuring 40 weeks
Now for the good news....
I had my 2nd shower this past weekend, and was showered with love and lots of amazing gifts. Four of my sisters hosted the "3 peas in the pod" themed shower. They came up with so many adorable games, party favors, and even food ideas. I'm really hoping one of my sisters sends me their photos because I forgot to bring my camera :( I did get a few photos on my iphone from the shower.

Lots of cute clothes

hey Barb! I hope your cervix stays nice and closed but please do take it easy. You can run around after they are here. You look awesome! Really awesome! You are all belly. Congrats on 25wks too! Your party looked great. I wanted the 2 peas in the pod theme but didn't get any theme :( i also didn't have any fun games at mine. It was kind of disappointing but beggers can't be choosers. I got lots of great gifts. Take it easy ok!
