Hi Ladies, I know it's been awhile and things got a little hectic, so here goes.  The pictures above are me with the hubby at our 24 weeks (maternity session).  My sis in law wanted to do them a little later, like end of Septemberish.  However, my body said think again!  :)

At 22 weeks, we had an appt for ultrasound and to measure cervix.  It dropped from being 3-4 everytime (good) to being 2.13 (not so good).  So they scheduled us for a week later and it measured in at 1.5, even more not good.  They sent us to the hospital for monitoring.  They determined that I was 1 cm dilated, at which I panicked, but they reassured me that I could stay that way for a long time.  They checked to see if I was having contractions, I was having some but they must have determined they weren't severe enough.  I also got steroid injections in my hip/butt area (OUCH) for the babies lungs.  Lucky for me I convinced them to let me go home for my baby shower.  I then did bed rest at home for the week.  We went back in Friday 8/17 and found that cervix shortened to 1.0!  So back to the hospital for permanent bed rest until babies arrive.  So far, they are monitoring mommy and babies and heart rates are still great with them and mommy hasn't changed.  Dr wants us to make it to 28 weeks and after that 32 weeks.  They will continue to monitor!  I am now 25 weeks and 5 days.  Babies last weights were: A= 1 lb 12 oz B= 1lb 7 oz C= 1 lb 4 oz and D= 1lb 2 oz.

It's great to hear that you are still pregnant, that is a huge accomplishment when  you are carrying quads. I went on hospital bedrest around this time as well, it can get a little uncomfortable and boring but it's the best place to be and you aren't too far from 28 weeks and I'm sure you can do it.

No, they were not natural!  We conceived off of our first cycle with Follistim, HCG shot, and IUI!  :)  Tried for 5 years on our own and went through 7 months with a fertility specialist.

Thank you ;)

Well, that's still amazing! Good luck and I would love to see more updates, and of course pics of the babies? Boys, girls, or surprise?
