Our 4th of July

Things are still about the same. I am still in the hospital on bed rest. On Wednesday, they did a growth ultrasound and Baby A is weighing about 1 lb. 14 oz., Baby B is about 1 lb. 9 oz. and Baby C is about 2 lbs. They are concerned about Baby B. The doctor says his weight has leveled off and he isn't gaining like he should. She also said that he shows signs that he is under stress. So they will do some more ultrasounds on Monday to check the blood flow in the umbilical chord. The doctor said that we might not get past 30 weeks. That is only 2 more weeks, because tomorrow I will hit 28 weeks. I was hoping to get a few more weeks so they won't be in the NICU as long, but we will have to wait and see.

Yesterday was an out of normal holiday. I am used to doing the parade, cookouts and fireworks. Normal 4th of July stuff, but not this year. In the morning Matt took the girls to the movie "Wall-E." They thought that was great. In the afternoon they came in to see me for a while. Then Matt took them to ride the Trax (the train). The girls were so very excited. They rode it from the hospital all the way downtown to Temple Square. They walked around and played in the fountains. Kayla said they even got to make a wish. Then they rode back up to the hospital and hung with me until fireworks time. I got to go for a wheel chair ride up to what they call the bridge, where there a bunch of windows and you look out over the city. We were able to see several different fireworks shows going off. The girls thought it was great. It was a pretty fun day. Thanks to Matt the girls had a wonderful time. He is such a good Dad. I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Here are some pictures of the day yesterday. There is even one of me that Paige took all by herself and she is quite pleased with it. Enjoy.
