Another stellar sono

Hi all. Monica, Bucko, and I just got back from our last sono in Wichita. Everything is looking great. Pius (baby A) now weighs 12 oz. His heart rate is 159 beats per minute. Forrest (baby B) weighs 11 oz. His heart rate is 145 beats per minute. Danna (baby C) weighs 10 oz. Her heart rate is 149 beats per minute. Laine also weighs 10 oz. His heart rate is 156 beats per minute. They are all good sizes for 20 weeks and are very healthy. I might have to have a little talking to with the boys because they are crowding Danna a little bit, but she is being a sport about it. Monica is doing very well with her personal weight gain, but she is having a little pain in her back. The sono tech checked her kidneys and there is a little fluid, but that is nothing too major, just something to keep an eye on. Other than her back pains, ridiculous "cankles", and carpal tunnel from the swelling, Moni is doing well. Talking with Dr. Feuille on Monday, he said her body is about 27-28 weeks along (about 8-9 weeks ahead) compared with a singleton mother.

Right now we are getting ready for Phoenix. I am driving down on Tuesday, and Moni is flying out on Thursday. We are a little overwhelmed right now with everything that needs to be done, but we are doing very well and are excited.

We would like to thank everybody for all the gifts, support, and prayers that we have received. Please keep the prayers coming. Love you all!

Billy and Moni

P.S. The Q.U.A.D.S. beat the two-time defending champions from our bowling league 3 games to 1. CHAMPIONSHIP!

Wonderful news!!! So you changed the girls name to Danna instead of Rian? How do you pronounce that? Drive and fly safely and thanks for the update!

Just letting you know that I plan on keeping your house the way it looks now.....if for some reason something is "remodeled" it won't be obvious to you!! j/k! Good luck in Phoenix and don't worry about anything back here....focus on keeping Monica stress-free and the babies as well (b/c we all know how babies turn out when they are stressed!) Love you guys so much!
