But I Haven't Finished All of My Projects Yet!

29 weeks 1 day, and this will probably be the last blog entry I write as a mother of one (not counting the mothering I have been doing over the last 29 weeks for the babes)!  I've been checked back into the hospital due to the fact that baby B is having some issues with his little heart.  It is slightly enlarged, which is a symptom of Twin to Twin (or Triplet to Triplet in our case) transfusion syndrome.  The doctors feel he and the rest of the babies will have a better chance of thriving outside the womb, and that B's heart will go back to normal after the stress of being the big guy is gone. 

Ironically enough, I had a dream last night that we delivered 3 healthy boys (they were 4 lbs, while these guys will be between 2 and 3 lbs, but I leave room for interpretation in my crazy dreams)!  My biggest concern in my dream was that they didn't have any clothes!  I have a feeling that we'll have many more serious concerns in the coming weeks, but I am praying we'll make it through all this and, in a year from now, have 3 robust little guys that we can't control!  Also eerie is that my mom told my dad last night, "we better get packed, the babies are going to come soon and we'll need to go to Michigan."  What is it about mother's instinct...weird!

I think this time around both Brandon and I feel a little more prepared and less stressed about the situation.  We have done great by making it to 29 weeks, when just 4 weeks ago they told us we might have to deliver at 25!  My mom asked me just now if I was ready for this.  I can honestly say I have no idea.  I have been thinking A LOT and planning to the best of my ability, but if I spent time worrying about every little detail I would go crazy!  So we'll just continue with the mantra "One Day at a Time".  

I'm thinking my next post will include some pictures of our new little guys....Sunday or Monday according to the doctors, but we shall see!
