Appointment Update:
I came in today for my routine growth ultrasound and when they were measuring Baby B I knew something wasn't right. He hasn't grown very much since our last growth u/s 3weeks ago. Baby A is now 4 lbs 15 oz, Baby C is 4 lbs. 9 oz. but Baby B is only 2 lbs. 9 oz. He has what they call absent end diastolic flow where the blood flow into the placenta isn't flowing like it should. They don't seem too concerned about this but they did admit me into the hospital today and I will be here until I deliver. I got my first steroid shot tonight to help develop their lungs and will get another tomorrow. I will have pool therapy 2x/day while I'm here and they will hook me up to monitors 3x/day to listen to the babies' heart rates. I could deliver as early as Friday but I could go several more weeks just being monitored here in the hospital, it's all a play it by ear situation. Please say a prayer for these babies (especially baby B) that they are healthy when they finally do decide to come.
Since I'm not sure how much longer I will be pregnant, I will take belly pictures every week from now on.

Hoping all is well with all three in there; especially little B. Glad that you will be in the hospital where they can keep a close eye on everything.
On Thursday I had a vivid dream about your babies, but they were grown, and I remember one of the boys just looked so much like Barton, with his same head shape! :)
If you are feeling up to visitors, let me know because I'd love to pop over and hang out for a little bit one evening this week! I'll try calling you tomorrow...
You are in my thoughts and prayers, grow baby B grow a little more!!
Congratulations on making it to 33 wks. That is a huge milestone for triplets! It's great that they have pool therapy available. I'll echo what Annie said... I'm really glad that you're somewhere where they can keep a close eye on you.
Keeping all of you in my prayers esp. Baby B.
