Week 15!

Yay! Pretty much in my mind we have made it to our half way point. I would love to make it farther, and believe me I am going to try my hardest but it seems like around 30 weeks is when a lot of quad moms seem to have their babies.

We are long overdue for a post so I thought you all would like to see the fruit our babies compare to at this point.............
And here are some fun facts about our growing little ones!

"Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.

So exciting! Wait until you see what next week is lol! Its no wonder I already look like I am 20 to 25 weeks pregnant!

I had my surgery on Friday which went really well. I had to fast until after my surgery which started at 3:30 and that was so miserable! Poor Trever hadnt eaten all day either so I sent him to the cafeteria to eat while we waited for me to go back (as long as he ate in the cafeteria too). You know I was hungry, because I found delight smelling his fried chicken breath lol! I was put on bedrest for about the first 4 days and then I have been taking it really easy ever since.

Today I had a doctors appointment and it went really really well! We got to see each of the babies squirming around. Unfortunately we didnt get too many pics but we did get a really great profile shot of Madelyn (Baby D). Here she is:

And here is a picture of all of the babies. You are looking down on the tops of their heads:

Well, while I was waiting to see Dr. Herzog, I read my book about Twins, Triplets and Quads. I havent read it in quite a while and so I definetly needed refreshed! Well I am way way behind my recommended weight goal and I really really want to try to meet each of these. So my first goal is to gain 45 pounds by 20 weeks. Well, I have only gained 12 and I only have 5 more weeks! So I have 40 days to gain 33 pounds. No more skimping on this 4500 calorie per day diet! I want to have the biggest babies I can possibly have and I am gonna take this seriously from here on out!

My doctor and nurses were very encouraging today but Dr. Herzog is definetly on the cautious side of things. When he came in the room he asked me what my average day was like and said I really need to chill lol! I guess you could say I am on bedrest without fully being on bedrest. He also sent a shocker our way.... 6 more weeks until he is planning on me being in the hospital. It is so sad because I was really hoping to make it through Eva's first Christmas (that she can recognize) before I had to go in. I guess we will just have to set up a Christmas tree in my room. Trever and I decided to go ahead and get all of her Christmas presents in the next couple of weeks, that way I can at least be a part of that.

I am really really excited for our shower on Friday! Thanks so much to everyone who is doing so much for all of us!
