February 3, 2008

Melissa is doing great! She has been completely taken off of the Magnesium and started on a blood pressure medicine to help with pre-term labor. Melissa has been able to get her wits about her bringing her back to planet earth.

The contractions have stopped and the babies have seemed to return to their normal routine of playing with-in her. Currently babies "a" and "b" are head down with baby "c" being breach with her head under Melissa's ribs.

Melissa plans to ask the doctor more questions about baby "c" tomorrow as he makes his rounds. With the attention this past appointment being focused on Melissa and the pre-term labor we feel as though our questions about baby "c" have been left hanging.

Melissa has been blessed with having her mother there with her since Saturday afternoon. Kathy has stayed with Melissa over night and I greatly appreciate her being with Melissa.

Thank you again everyone as I am not sure what we would do with out the friends and family that we have been blessed with.

Glad to hear things are going better for Melissa! The blog is a great idea to help us all stay current with everything that's going on. Dallin still concerned about all the kicking those three babies are doing inside Aunt Melissa's tummy! Hope all goes well this week,
Dave and Deb

So glad to hear that things are settling again for Melissa. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up the good work keeping those babies inside for as long as you can. Get as much rest as you can while you can, for this too shall soon pass.

We are so excited for you and Melissa! We hope the contractions stop for a while to give the babies time to grow. Our boys are just over 16 months and at such a fun age - you're going to have triple the fun! (Although it's a lot of work in the beginning - and we only had two). Tell Melissa we said hello and we're thinking of you both. Marcie & Wayne
