Jenn Pregnancy Update - April 2009

Another update from the land of bedrest J

Jenny and the girls hit the week 26 milestone this past Wednesday and we’re thrilled to report the girls are still doing great and continuing to gain weight, they are nearly 2 pounds now, and develop on schedule! They are really active and I got my first taste of that magical moment when you feel your babies moving this week…it was awesome to say the least.

Jenn, enjoying her new status as “senior” patient on the floor as she approaches day 50, continues to amaze us all with her stamina, perseverance, strength and most of all, love for our girls. Things keep getting a little tougher on her emotionally and physically with each passing day, but she keeps rising to each new challenge and making me feel luckier and luckier to have chosen so well for my partner in life and love.

Jenn is developing more lovely curves, see the attached pictures, and dealing with all the trials and tribulations of being confined to bed. She’s experienced first hand that getting a hospital meal delivered warm and correct is a problem for the ages, on par with Universal Health Care and World Peace from what I can tell J

Her condition remains generally stable and her daily routine of resting, meds, shots, and monitoring continue on until further notice. She endured a pretty intensive Glucose test today, but she passed and it appears she’ll be spared a special form of diabetes that is common in multiple pregnancies. Shortness of breath is still the biggest physical issue right now, but just rolling over is starting to be a chore in itself. Text and email are the best ways to stay in touch with her at this point.

Once again, thanks to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, love and support…We certainly couldn’t get through this without y’all!
