Growth U-sound update & 33 weeks

We've had a very uneventful few days until today and I'll get to that later. But the last few days have been just great - daily NST's and fetal heart tones and regular blood pressure/temperature checks. My choleostasis is getting so much better - it won't go away until delivery but the itching is WAY better and manageable and gets better everyday.
I've been reading and writing in my journal and having visitors come so most days go by pretty quickly. I love having Spence come every night - he completely makes my day. A few days ago, he brought an old school Nintendo game of our neighbors & friends, Philip & Jenny's. They have a game that has 111 nintendo games on it. It is so fun! Mario Bros., Dr. Mario, Pac-Man and Mrs. Pac-Man - so fun! Thank you Boyacks for lending me your game - it has helped so much pass the time with something mindless :) I love it!
Today, my friends Chandy & Melissa got me a pedicure and my friend Crystal came with Melissa and did it for me. I so loved it! It was great to see them but so fun also to have cute toes for the big day - it felt great to be pampered a bit. Thank you so much you guys for that sweet & thoughtful gift.

First things first, we made it to 33 weeks and here is my pic:
WEEK 33:



I swear I am getting bigger but it really doesn't look like it so much in the pics. But then again, I see myself everyday.

Secondly, we had our growth usound today to check on the babies and see how much they've grown in the last 3 weeks. The last growth one we did was on the 7th when I'd only been here for 2 days. They were all about 3 lbs at the time so my peri wanted me to do another one today since originally, they didn't know for sure when I would deliver.

Here are the growth results:
BABY A: 4 lbs 11 oz.
BABY B: 4 lbs 10 oz.
BABY C: 4 lbs 5 oz.

YEAH! They are growing and have grown a bunch since the 7th so we are so happy! Good weights for these 3 if I do say so myself! Of course, it isn't completely accurate until they are out but at least it gives us an idea of what they will be close to.

Only 2 days to go until the c-section - I can't believe it! We are so excited to meet these little babies and see them. Our little "Atlas" as we call him (baby A) holding up the other 2 and probably plugging the leak is just amazing to me. He's got a single artery cord and yet is doing amazingly well. We love you guys! See you soon!
