Well, the sonographer showed up at my door at 11:30 yesterday to take me down the hall for the babies growth scan. Everything went well. As most of you know, my goal was to have the babies all above 2 lbs. I almost made my goal =) Here were the babies weights:
Karson -(D) 1 lb 13oz
Girls - 2lbs, 2 lbs 2oz, 2 lbs 6 oz
They assured me that all was well and that babies were doing "phenomenal" for quads. So, I was wheeled back to my room, and ate my nasty hospital food =D As I was finishing up, another OB doc came in and was telling me that she had just been briefed on the babies progress. Turns out, the system that they use to calculate babies' growth was averaging the 4 of them together. After putting them all in the system separately, the found that baby D is considerably small. He is measuring in the 12th percentile... He's considered to be suffering from IGR (intrauterine growth restriction) once he hits the 10th percentile... So, they had to take me back for a doppler of him to make sure all of his blood flow was sufficient, which it was! So now, we just have to watch closely to make sure that he continues to grow and develop as he should. Today marks 2 weeks that I've been in the hospital... I miss my life back home, but am so glad that these babies are growing =) Only 32 days til my goal of 32 weeks!!!!

I was just wondering if you knew the weights of the babies. I pray that your son will be able to grow, grow, grow and that the girls will, too.
ReplyDeleteGod has brought you so far and I pray He will grow those little babes even more the next month and that you will stay as healthy and comfortable as possible.
Many blessings~

Welcome to the blogoshpere!:) Glad to hear that the babies are doing well. Praying that little Karson will continue to grow, grow, grow! You are doing a great job! Can't wait to meet all the little ones.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! You are doing so well growing those babies... sorry about that food- I think I might need to come visit you and sneak you in some outside world food! By the way I loved your pay it forward blog... if you need another crib I am just about to take mine down and put it away for good- I would be more than happy to gift it to you- we have loved watching our babies sleep in it and I think it is destined to have more in it - just not anymore from us!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the offer! We're supposed to be getting a 3rd crib from the same people that gave us the other furniture. I'll be sure and let you know if that falls through though =) I'm actually getting lots of "real" food...at least 3 times a week Howard brings me whateverI request!
