All is quiet in the great Pacific Northwest today, March 30th, the beginning of Kristen's 33rd week. Even though the three little Cooper kiddos seem very content for the moment to stay snuggled inside their Mommy, we did get some exciting news this morning. Kristen had the extensive ultrasound procedure that allows the doctors to measure the babies and then calculate what that means for the weight of each baby. The little boys are both 4 pounds, 8 ounces and the little girl is 4 pounds, 1 ounce. How incredible is that! No wonder Kristen is sometimes barely able to move or breathe!
Another unexpected treat today was the delivery of a special rocking chair to Kristen's room. Since she has done so well and far exceeded how long they thought she could carry the triplets, they are going to try extending her sitting up privileges. The doctor doing the ultrasound agreed she could move to the rocker and sit up for a few minutes when she eats her meals. Who knew getting out of bed and sitting in a rocker would be such an enjoyable thing! Makes sense though when you remember she has been in the hospital for 3 months and for at least the last 4 weeks of that time, they have frowned on her sitting up at all.
All in all, it has been a great day!
We can never thank you enough for your prayers and give God all the glory for the miraculous way God is blessing Kristen and the babies.
I really can't wait for these babies! I still can hardly believe it!
