28 Weeks!!!



Jen and Craig's babies reached 28 weeks gestation today. We are all so relieved and grateful. Here is a email that she sent to family and friends today.


Hello Family and Friends...

As you probably remember, Craig and I wrote you in July in hopes to get on your prayer list, as we were struggling with infertility for quite some time, and needed a little help. Well, as you know, God listened to all of our prayers and blessed us with a triplet pregnancy.

Even though I have had a very challenging pregnancy, spending the last 43 out of 46 nights in the hospital, all of our little boys continue to do fantastic. Today we reached HUGE milestone, one that we did not think we were ever going to get to....28 weeks!!! We are hoping to make it a great deal farther, with a delivery date of approx. March 5th if everything goes perfectly, but consider ourselves very blessed to have made it to this point. We truly appreciate all of the prayers that you have been saying on our little guys' behalf, as we don't think we would be in this amazing situation if it weren't for them.

Our next big milestone will be week 32, which is February 13th. At that time, I will send another update on my pregnancy (hopefully), or the birth of our little miracles. Until then, please continue to bless us with your prayers... they are working!!!

Love,
Jennifer
FYI- Average baby weights for a 28 week pregnancy is 2lbs 6ozs. Following are our approx. weights:
Baby A: 2lbs 11ozs
Baby B: 2lbs 1oz
Baby C: 2lbs 4ozs


Don't tell the pregnant mommy, but prayers for another 7 weeks would be appreciated. ;)


Thanks you!!!
