Happy Saturday! Week 33 and then some

Hi everyone, just a quick update...Melissa is doing well..We are in the hospital as a pre-caution, since she is so close to delivery. They have scheduled the delivery for next Friday, Sept 1st at 11:30 PST, right at 34 weeks!! Silvia, Wes (Dan's sister and bro-in-law), Kelli, Kaitlyn, and Geoff (Melissa's Sister, Niece and bro-in-law) are all coming in next week to participate in the festivities (in addition to my mom who is already here)..So very exciting!!

Yesterday we visited Dr. E for a checkup. Mother and Babies are doing excellently. Belva, the most knowable person on ultrasound technology, performed thorough ultrasounds on the each of the babies. They weigh: Baby A - 4lbs 10 oz (2099 grams); Baby B - 4 lbs 12 oz (2163 grams); Baby C- 5lbs 5 oz (2396 grams); and Baby D- 5lbs 10 oz (2551 grams.)

Delivery is scheduled for Friday September 1!!!. Melissa is now in the hospital being monitored by doctors and nurses. Besides missing her own bed, she is in good spirits awaiting (as all of us) the arrival of the little ones. Danny is at her bedside day and night.

Enjoy the new pictures of Mel and Dan; this time accompanied by Belva and Dr. E.

August 21st Update - More Baby pictures!

Hi everyone, sorry it's been a while since we wrote, no babies ..Yet. Last Friday was week 32, so we are now well on our way to week 32..Melissa is doing well, blood pressure is great, contractions are under control, only feeling a bit uncomfortable and I am sure anxious to get the next few weeks over! This weekend was good. We went to the pool, watched the PGA (go Tiger!) Sunday night football, and other shows. Abue Tere (my mom) came back on Friday from working on the house in Farmington (along with Nana, Aunt Dee, Uncle Dan, Kaitlyn, Geoff and Kelli) Thanks guys for your help! Grammy Mary Ann (Melissa's Mom) went back to Michigan on Saturday, miss you Grammy!

We have full ultrasound scheduled with Doctor Elliott on Thursday, we are going to take some pictures of the doctor's office and the staff..So look for new ones then..

Still on track for at least 34 weeks, possibly more..


Continuing on the publishing of baby ultrasounds, attached here are the four now starting to take shape!! This is from our first hospital visit in Phoenix on June 4..

Take care everyone and thanks for all of the wonderful feedback on the blog..We are so lucky to have so many people that care!

Dan and Mel
