From our bio-physical profile on Tuesday, the docs found that Lil B's blood flow through her cord was lower than what is desired for a baby her size. What does that mean?
It means that right now, it's not a big problem until the cord flow drops; and when it starts dropping, it keeps dropping. When the cord flow stops or is negative, then things need to happen no more than 48 hours after the flow stops. Less than 24 hours is preferable.
By 'things need to happen' I mean take the kids by C-section.
So, Dr. Ward is telling us that within a week we will have the section. It will be probably no sooner than Friday, no later than Tuesday. And guess what, Tuesday is my birthday!
Kelly is doing all right, but is ready to have her non-pregnant body back.
Things are about to get exiting for all five of us.

Can you believe it's almost here?! You guys have been so positive through this pregnancy and accomplished so much as a result. It will all be worth it when you get to gaze upon your 3 beautiful creations! Stay positive!

I'm proud of the peeps -- they have concentrated on growing so they will be ready for the world, and ready to be held by Mom and Dad. And I'm proud of Mike & Kelly - this has been a pretty challenging family-building event, and you've done beautifully.
Love to you all,

You guys are almost at the end of a great adventure and ready to begin an even greater one. We can't wait to meet the little ones and to see what amazing parents you will be.
Much Love,
Team Schworris
We are praying for you both and the little ones! Can't wait to hear the exciting news. Rest up! :)
So close! Kelly and Mike, you're doing great. Stay strong and we're all thinking of you.
Kelly and Mike.
Can't wait to see pictures of those little guys on this blog. To think that it probably has seemed like a long time that you have been waiting, but I guarantee that you will turn around and they'll be running out the door to have fun with their friends, and then driving cars, and going off to college. It all goes so fast, so while you are up taking care of them in the middle of the night remember that and enjoy.
Oh my goodness. We are so excited for you all. What a journey you have been on, nurturing the triplets and preparing yourselves (as best you can!) for their arrival. Wishing you lots of love and luck for their safe delivery in the next few days. We shall await Mike's blog update announcing the births, plus first pics of course, with impatience.
Love and prayers with you, as always.

Kelly and Mike you have both been in my prayers along with the little ones throughout this amazing journey you have been on. Keep up the spirits and get as much rest as possible because it won't be long and the rest is going to decrease. Can't wait to see "Baby A,B, & C!" and can't wait to have Kelly back in our building, but not too soon for either. We Miss Ya!!!

It is just so exciting to be at the end together! Thank you for keeping us updated so that we know what to pray for and how to keep you in our thoughts! I'll make sure Maggie and my Little Bee are praying for your Lil B, and A and C!!
Wow! In a few day's time we'll both have three kids. Unbelievable!
Lots of prayers coming your way! You guys are amazing!
Thanks everyone for all your support. The whole process has been that much easier knowing so many people were pulling for us. Won't be long!
