Waiting on Babies

Hello again.  It has been some time since our last post.  I am happy to say we made it through the holidays without going to the hospital!  Yesterday (Wednesday), though, the doctors told us that Kristy needed to come to the hospital.  They had observed her blood pressure increasing and protein in her urine--all signs of preeclampsia.  They told us that Kristy will be staying at the hospital until the babies are born.  We didn't have any issues with contractions this time.  Kristy is in pretty good shape at this point other than the normal uncomfortableness associated with three babies in her belly.  The doctors have administered steroids to help develop the lungs of the babies.  The doctors aren't sure when the babies will come--it could be today, it could be several weeks.  They are watching several indicators right now.  If any of those exceed certain limits then we could be having babies pretty quickly.  The doctors are very confident that if the babies come (even today) that mom and babies would stand excellent chances of survival and healthiness.   Right now it is a balancing act of health of mother and health of babies.  Hopefully, the preeclampsia will hold off for a while and we can wait a bit (we are currently at 30 weeks, 6 days).  Please pray for our family as we go through this crucial stage leading up to birth.  We're excited to meet our little ones!  --JKABC
