Lockdown!

I just realized I never posted anything about my MFM appt. on Tuesday.

Alison weighs 3 lbs. 10 oz.
Nolan weighs 4 lbs. 13 oz.
Kate weighs 5 lbs. 3 oz.

As you can see, Alison isn't gaining weight as she should. It could be one of two things. It could be the fact that she is so far down in my uterus she is difficult to measure or she really isn't getting the nutrients her brother and sister are getting. I'm REALLY hoping it's inaccuracy of the measurement.......but they're not sure. A little concerned obviously. I would say they won't allow me to go much longer as she's not growing. I will be 34 weeks tomorrow. My ultimate goal from the beginning!!! woo hoo!!!

It's official. I'm in jail!!! OB called on Tuesday afternoon and said head to Antepardum at OSF. Argh!! And kind of like when they told me about bedrest.......I was like seriously??? I've made it this far and I've gotta go where? Ha Ha Ha. Just kidding. I've considered myself very lucky and spoiled for not having to be in the hospital until now. So, they had ran some tests and apparently they didn't like something. Has to do with how my kidneys are functioning. They aren't draining properly. So I am in here for that and the fact that Baby A isn't growing as she should. They've been monitoring me closely. So, that's the scoop on why I'm in the hospital. It's been lots of fun so far. Thank goodness for sleeping aids! Ambien is my new best friend. Judge me all you want for taking it while preggers, but it's THE ONLY way I can sleep!!! They wouldn't allow me to have it if it wasn't safe for the babies. So, that's the latest. I thought for sure I would deliver tomorrow, but one of my tests was borderline, so I bet it will be sometime next week. Just a guess though.

HUGE thanks to Linda at RLI for allowing me to borrow an extra laptop to use while in the hospital. You have no idea how nice it is to be able to keep in touch with everyone while stuck in this place!!! Keep those prayers coming : )
