26 week update

The bedrest worked! My cervix was back up to 3.7-4 which is great news! I'm still supposed to take it easy, but it looks like I'll be able to make it to my last baby shower next weekend.

The babies are getting big, and we saw  Baby A practicing breathing. Al says Baby A is going to be a linebacker because he's guarding the cervix and blocking Baby  B & C from getting out. Baby B curled up in a ball looking like she was ready to do a canonball into the pool. Baby C was finally showing us her beautiful profile, after weeks of hiding from the camera.


26 week belly

Other stats:

Weight: 160 (up 41 lbs)

Blood pressure: 100/62

Belly measurement: 42 inches around

Cravings: Rocky road and mint chip ice cream

Symptoms: BH contractions, although they've lessened since I've been taking Nifedipine. I also have pain (in the joints) and swelling in my hands, especially right when I wake up. My lower back pain has been better since I've been laing aound so much.
