Today I have been in the hospital for exactly 2 weeks. These 2 weeks have been boring,long and yet somehow fly by all at the same time. I have been finding new ways to keep myself busy. My daily highlights have been walking to the ice and water machine to refill my pitcher, showering, watching the price is right and of course my daily ultrasound when I get to see the craziness going on inside me, holy body parts everywhere! This week I even got to leave my floor for my growth ultrasound to see how the babies are growing. For this event I even put on JEANS! This was the highlight of my week, getting to leave the floor and interact with the public for a short while haha! The ultrasound started off a little different than it has in the past. I was sitting on the table and the ultrasound tech had just begun scoping out the babies when all of a sudden I broke out in a complete sweat and couldn't breathe! Yes I almost passed out during my ultrasound! The weight of my belly is now so heavy that laying on my back caused my circulation to get cut off. Needless to say we were able to complete the ultrasound but I had to lay on my sides. All babies looked well and are growing. Baby C is still measuring small but the doctors have assured me that her fluid, flow and placenta look great. We will be getting a biophysical profile scan done in the near future to look a little closer and see if there is anything specific that is causing her to be on the smaller side. Based on how the scan goes will determine if delivery plans will be moved up or not. Right now we are aiming for delivery to be at 32 weeks.... this means I would have a little over 2 more weeks untill they are here! Holy cow! I also had many visitors this week which is always great and brightens my day! A quad mom from NH who has 7 year old quads also came by to visit. It was great to talk to a quad mom in person! She relieved some of my fears and proved to me that yes I will in fact survive life with quads! Yes it will be crazy, Yes it will be hard and yes I will survive! Keith came on Friday so we ordered take out and watched a movie, this is becoming our Friday routine and I look forward to it all week! Alex came to see me Tuesday and Saturday and I love every minute I'm able to spend with him. It is still hard to say goodbye and I don't think it will ever get easier. We we're also interviewed by the Union Leader this week and our story was published in this Sunday's Union Leader. I will attached a link for the online article as well. All in all this week went smooth and I survived another week to tell about! The food still hasn't changed but thankfully I have amazing friends and family that have stocked me to the brim with food and snacks! As always thank you for for the support and prayers and I hope you are enjoying our crazy journey! http://www.newhampshire.com/Expecting-quadruplets,-family-comes-home-to-NH

Congratulations on your journey! I live and Massachusetts and have triplets. I messaged you on Facebook. Would you like a double stroller?
