So today was another boring day. These things are great! We hope they continue unabated for some time and we can continue to mark off blocks on the calendar.
We have a couple of updates on questions we've been getting:
1. The doc indicates that we'll be having ultrasounds 3 weeks apart as that is about what it takes to show substantial changes in size and weight for the babies at this point. That means the next ultrasound will likely be around May 10.
2. Some talk had been floating about regarding another dose of steroids. It looks like that will probably occur around 28 weeks if we make it there (let's hope!). Dr. Wells says research indicates that 24 and 28 are the critical points to hit. Shots in between those time frames don't seem to have nearly as much efficacy.
In another news Bekka was supposed to have a glucose test done today. It's standard procedure for pregnant women and especially important if they are going to give you steroid (can create blood sugar issues). She drank a quart of what can charitably be described as the sweetest orange kool-aid you've ever had - then they forgot to draw her blood. So they are going to do it tomorrow. At 6am.

Yay for thoughts of 28-week ultrasounds and more boring days! Is it wrong that I found the glucose drink not that bad? (Or just a sign of how serious my sweet-tooth is?) In any case - hope it's not so bad - again - tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYes, boring is good!!! We'll take boring any day!! Let's keep hoping and praying that you and the babies make it to at least the 28 week mark and preferably even longer. Boy, I hope the glucose drink tastes better the second time around, especially at 6:00am.!
ReplyDeleteHey you 4 - so glad to hear everything is calm your way. Just wanted to check in and hopefully all will be well with your sugar test. Orange is OK but i think grape would be better. Love you guys!
