Mini update on the quints

Taken today in Shenandoah National Park, Stony Man Trail
 (No, Mom, I am nowhere near the edge - it's an optical illusion!)

The perinatologist from the Maternal Fetal Medicine office in Charlotte wants to start checking me weekly in about two weeks to verify the babies are staying put. I would be 13 weeks along at that point. If he sees anything of concern he might do some preventive surgery (bar the EXIT door!) and/or put me on bedrest. I assume those weekly checkups will continue with my perinatologist in Dallas. My first appointment with them is June 13th. Thanks for all your prayers!!

I am definitely feeling less sick and more energetic - hence the above picture. We're in the Shenandoah Valley visiting our good friends from Ukarumpa, the Schanelys, who have since relocated here. After our short hike/walk and light lunch at Skyland Lodge, we headed back to the Schanelys' for a LONG nap . . . well, for me at least. :)

Gavin has this week off as the helicopter is in a different location, so we've made the most of it, as you can see! It's so good to reconnect with Travis and Jennifer and meet their adorable daughters.
