8/24 Appt went great!

Just a very quick post to let folks know that Melissa's appt yesterday went great. Babies all look good. Heart beats are still measuring in the expected range (I think a little over 150). Growth rate still even and all measuring over 13 weeks (she was 13 weeks and 2 days, so that's great news). Dr said that Melissa looks great too and he's very happy with everything at this point. Other than the reflux/heartburn and obviously just being tired, Melissa is doing remarkably well!

Melissa will try to post more details about the appt and how she's doing this weekend (she may not have exactly the same perspective as me, but even she will admit that she's doing really well). She's obviously tired and going to bed early these days, so she doesn't exactly have tons of time to make blog entries. School started back for the kids today, so today was her first "real" day of school this year. It was a very long day obviously. She has about a 30 minute commute, and of course high school starts at 7:15 or so, so she leaves the house around 6:20. That's early for anyone, but for someone carrying triplets, that's just ridiculous. The good news is that she doesn't have a first block class (they have 4 blocks, one of which is a planning period, and her planning period is in the 1st block). She's still supposed to be there early, but I'm trying to get her to use the "triplets card" to see if she can come in at least a little later. Hopefully she can make that happen soon!

The next appointment is scheduled for 9/21...that's the biggie (at 18 weeks) where we find out the sex of the babies and look at everything developmentally. Pray for good news at that one! We'll be updating before then, but just wanted to keep everyone updated on the appt schedule.
