Thirty Weeks!

We've reached another milestone here. The finish line is within sight. One thing about being in an environment of HOM patients is there are people ahead of us. The Sextuplet mom delivered in June and took here first child home this weekend. The others will follow shortly. The Quintuplet mom is three weeks ahead of us and will deliver July 31st at 34wks!

Kristy, her sister, is working on the layout of the nursery. Two of our bedrooms are currently pink and will need to be re-painted. I still remember when we first saw each childs genitalia in the Ultrasound room. With each determination Kelly would look at me as if to say "where's the girl?,you had better throw a girl in the mix!" I thought the perinatologist from the Atlanta Perinatology Associates was going to have to wheel her out on a stretcher when the last child was also a boy! Luckily, she comes from a family of women three sisters Kim, Kristy, and Kinsey and has now excepted the fact that this was meant to be.

Last night was our first trip to the hospital since her surgery. Anticipating that they were going to keep her, Kelly packed a suitcase. She felt a decrease in movement over the course of the day and just wanted to make sure. We were in and out in 1hr! That rarely happens anywhere I've ever worked or trained, and we apparently were lucky to get an official ultrasound in minutes. Being on the other side of the fence has given me a whole new perspective about patient care. TMM
