A New Year and a NEW beginning.....

  • Jan. 29 (Week 27): Mommy had the blood sugar test done and the results came out good. Since she is not taking enough calcium, "I am tired of eating cheeses" she said, the dietologist urged her to take also some calcium pills. She also started antiacids pills.

  • Jan. 22 (Week 26): Today was the sonogram #9. The babies are growing normally and finally we had a good news: the cervix channel stopped opening and it is still 8mm like it was two weeks ago. Looks like that resting at the hospital has been a very good idea since now everything look stabilized. Mommy's weight is 68.8 Kg (153 lb) and he belly measures 108cm (42 1/2").

  • For news and info about Claudia's status don't hesitate to contact me at uplegger@fnal.gov. I'll keep updating the blog anyway when there are more and hopefully positive news.

  • Jan. 9 (Week 24): Today was the day of the medical and sonogram visit. Mom was checked for possible infections but none have been detected. It was also time to check again the cervix since last week was already getting too thin and unfortunately we didn't have good news. The cervix channel still got thinner and now it is only 8mm ( half of what it was just 5 days ago). The doctors decided to keep Mom at the hospital for the rest of the pregnancy to monitor her contractions and try to keep the babies in the belly as long as possible since we are only at week 24. Mommy and the babies are doing great and only the cervix is worrying us...Mom's weight is 68.2 Kg (152 lb) and her belly measures 104cm (41")


  • Jan. 4 (Week 23): Today was the Sonogram # 8 that came with bad and good news. Apparently Mommy's cervix channel is getting thinner. This time the channel measurement went to 1.5 cm close. It looks like Mom might end up staying soon at the hospital if it continues getting thinner. The good news is that Vero, Vivi & Leo are doing fine. They are still growing as if they were singletons.


    Jan. 1 (Week 23): This was our celebration receiving the year 2008. The 5 of us had dinner together at home and received the New Year eating Panettone, drinking Champagne and watching "The Lion King". We must prepare Daddy to watch and know all the Walt Disney movies!!
