Ickiness

Totally forgot to write about Trenton's last blood test. Although I'm not sure anyone even checks this anymore. But it's a good outlet for me, so I will continue.

So, Trenton went in for blood work last week and I was a little dismayed when the nurse called to tell me he was down to 56,000. Not cool. I have noticed more bruising, but I really did not think it would go that low.

She talked to our doctor and he wants to see Trenton in the next few months since we haven't actually visited with the doctor in about a year. She said it was up to me to come in before the twins are born or after. Hm, I'm thinking of NOT bringing two newborns into a hospital if I don't have to. So, I'll make an appointment in early August.

People keep asking me what else they are going to do. Really, I don't think anything. There's really nothing else TO do unless this continues until he's a several years older (ick), or his counts really drop (more ick). So I'm sure we'll continue to sit and wait and pray.

In the meantime, Trenton is very busy getting ready for his new baby brothers. He is so excited, it's really cute. He loves to pat my belly, feel them hiccup, sing songs to them and pick out things to buy. The cribs are up, which I thought would throw him, but it only made him more excited. He was a little disappointed that there's a crib in our room and he learned they won't share a room in the beginning. I'm sure he'll thank us later. I really think he's going to be an awesome big brother.
