Bedrest!

There's a lot to catch up on here. About 11 days ago we had our appointment with Gina's doctor, and the ultra sound showed good progress with the babies each now about 1 pound 7oz's ish (1-11, 1-7-1-4).

However, triplet 1 was the smallest at 1 pound 4 oz. and her fluid in the sac was considered low. As a result the doctor ordered Gina on bedrest, and to increase fluid intake. He also talk about the possibility she might go early if baby 1 was endangered, and there could be dilema's faced because all 3 have to be born at the same time. So do you risk all three to save the one?

Now the Great news; Yesterday we had our follow up appointment, and baby 1 shifted position, her fluid level is now normal, and all 3 triplets are looking good again.
Gina is approaching 27 weeks. At 30 weeks the survival of the babies jumps considerably.
We are still shooting for a full 36 weeks. Please keep Gina & the babies in your prayers, we have already seen our prayers answered with the great change in events yesterday. praise God!

Saturday is the final shower. Guests will include the Bono clan, Gina's Mom , Dad & sister, and friends and neighbors around Fenton. We are really looking forward to a great visit and weekend!

The Lower level is done Yeah ! Carpet is being installed right now and will be done by the end of the day. Here is a pic of the fireplace that Cleve and I did. So glad we decided to do it, despite stretching the budget a bit. We added 1,750 sq feet to the house. Cleve did an awesome job, he is very focused on quality.





Finally here is the latest Jiffy pop pose (taken 10 days ago ) Gina continues to amaze. She is an awesome woman and wife.
