Wow...30 Weeks....Can't BULEEV it!

I really never thought week 30 would get here! It always seemed SOOOOOOO far away! HUGE milestone today, guys! HUGE! Every day after today, equals 3 days less that the little ones will have to spend in the NICU. Everytime a nurse comments on how "good" I am doing and that they "can't believe it"...I just tell them that we have the most awesome people in the world praying for us! That is the ONLY way we have gotten this far! Seriously! I can't thank you enough for all the encouraging words, support, and prayers! Every night I pray for God to bless all those out there who are praying for US! So, get ready people, yall have some serious blessings coming your way! Ha! ;)

Last week during my sono, my babies are weighing:

Savannah (baby A): 2 lbs, 11 oz.
Benjamin (baby B): 2 lbs, 14 oz.
Twin baby C on the top: 2 lbs, 3 oz.
Twin baby D down below: 2 lbs

The twins are definitely smaller than the other two...but it is expected, seeing as how they are sharing a placenta. Ethan and Andrew might not get over 3 lbs. (but that's okay). They are all growing at the same rate as last time. I think the next set of measurements will be next week. (31 wks) I'm still working on Tabor for a tentative C-section date, but it all depends on how my babies are growing...this morning he said: MAYBE August 15th (my parents anniversary)...but MAYBE not until the last week in August when Tabor gets back from his week long excursion to California (it's not a "fun trip", he is getting his Freshman daughter settled in at college)...so, I dunno, I reeeeeally don't want to chance him leaving for a week (my 33rd wk) when anything could happen, especially that far along in my quadruplet pregnancy (and I know that Tabor is stressed over it as well), BUT, if HE tells me that my babies need to grow some more...then I guess I will wait out that week (but will be sweating BULLETS!) So, please start on THOSE prayers ASAP! We are praying for August 15th!

Funny/sad story: Dr. Tabor starts the sono and always starts with Savannah (baby A). Remember that she is at the VERRRRY bottom of my uterus...and with the babies dropping down recently, she is totally and completely smashed down into my pelvis. Dr. Tabor looks at her, while pushing as hard as he can down into my pelvic bone, and kinda chuckles out loud, "well...don't be alarmed if this baby comes out with a 'not so normal' looking head!"....awesome, neato...Savannah is going to be a "FISH HEAD" for a while after birth b/c her mean 'ole brothers are squishing her like crazy! Poor baby! ;) It will all even out eventually...so, just be warned! I told everyone in the room, "well, remind me to tell the dad or he will FREAK OUT on delivery day!" (seriously..poor, sweet, non-medical whatsoever, Joe)

Yesterday was my brother, Collin's, 31st birthday. Lucky him, he got to eat his birthday cake and open his presents in MY hospital room! How fun, right??!! I'll get my dad to send me the pics, but this is all I have for now:

Col showing me how to use our new digital video camera (a HUUUUUUGE thanks to mom and dad, and my Aunt Judy and Uncle Stoney! SUPER excited!)


Oh, and I MUST throw in that this weekend was the BIG FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT for my hubby and all of his friends. They met in Dallas/Fort Worth this year so Joe could be close to me (just in case anything happened). They are CRAZY and go all out with a draftboard and trophy and such...they look forward to it all year! So, it was REALLY nice to see some of our friends that I hadn't seen in a WHILE (even though I resemble a beached whale at the present time) ;)

So, here's Joe, Sunday...the day after all of the boy-ish festivities...(this is WHILE my brother and friends and family are all in my room talking and laughing together...being loud)

...in a word: WORTHLESS ;) and he didn't even wake up after I took SEVERAL pictures of the sleeping beauty...he slept for hours like this! Trust me when I tell you that this man can sleep ANYwhere, ANYtime, ANY situation! He's so precious, though...love him.

Oh, and I got to see my sweet baby girl dog for the first time in FOREVER on Sunday evening! It was AWESOME!! That will be my next blog! Stay tuned!...(and btw, once again, I have lost all of my "favorites" on my internet favorites list and therefore I have lost the addresses to many of your websites. please comment and leave your web addresses for me again, so I can start checking your sites again! especially those of you who are quad parents or just found out you are having quads! I greatly appreciate it!!)
