Triplet update -- 32 weeks and 3 days

Everything went well this morning at the OB.  My BP was lower than it has been -- yay!  They did another fFn test and we'll get the results back by the end of the day today.   My cervix has changed, however.  At my last appointment 2 weeks ago I wasn't dilated or effaced at all.  Today, I was 2 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced.  In the grand scheme of things, that doesn't mean much.  I could walk around at 2cm and 50% for the next 4 weeks and not progress anymore than that.  I'll start going to the OB every week now, so if at my next appointment on Monday, I've progressed more, my doc will talk about hospitalization and bedrest.  I'm already pretty much on bedrest at home since I don't do much throughout the day anyway, but if my cervix starts changing they'll be more worried about my water breaking and therefore want to keep a closer eye on me in the hospital.  I'm going to make an effort to spend more time in bed and take fewer trips downstairs over the next week to try and influence my body to cooperate and avoid having to go into the hospital.  At least if I am hospitalized next week, at most I'll only be there 2-3 weeks....not too bad, I guess.  

We also had a biophysical profile done today after the OB appointment.  All three babies scored a perfect score of 8 (they're already overachievers, haha).  The BPP basically makes sure that they're practicing breathing, showing good movement, measures the fluid in each of their sacs, and measures their heart rate.  They also got measured again today.  Baby A was 4lb 11oz, Baby B was 4lb 10oz, and Baby C was 4lb 3oz.  That's a whopping 13 1/2 pounds of baby, my friends!  :o)  No wonder I feel like I'm carrying a bowling ball or two around! No new pictures -- the babies are really smashed together in there and it's just not possible to get good 3D pictures of them at this point.  

I'm still feeling ok physically, except when I try to walk, move or just turn over in bed.  But I feel like I've hit a mental breaking point....I feel like I'll be huge forever and while I really want this pregnancy to be over, I don't want it to end too early for the babies' sake.  So, if you see me or talk to me anytime soon, please ignore my general grumpiness and please don't try to change my mood -- I'm just tired and bored and can't wait for these next few weeks to pass so that I can meet these little ones and start to feel human again.  I know I've been very lucky to have a relatively uneventful triplet pregnancy (well the pregnancy has been uneventful but my life as not been, that's for sure!), but make no mistake --- it certainly isn't easy.
