Updated below in post 4, thanks for continuing to pray.

Updated again in post 7, thanks.



I probably could have posted more appropriately as a prayer request, but a friend of mine from my Sunday School caregroup is requesting prayer. She is just at 32 weeks and expecting triplets. This is her first pregnancy. She's been on bedrest for several weeks, but now she has even more protein in her urine and is being admitted to the hospital as I type. She's praying that she'll be able to carry to 34 weeks, baby B the girl is still quite small yet. Baby A and C (boys) are quite a bit bigger, just over 4lbs by u/s. They are from Alabama originally so don't have lots of family support here. Also her dh has been working a second job to cover some of the expenses. They've struggled with infertility for years and are so anticipating the birth of these babies. She's getting nervous, please bathe her in prayer if you feel so led. Her name is Rebecca.

I just got word that they'll be delivering Becky's babies via c-section sometime this morning, her blood pressure has stayed too high. Please be in prayer for them, I'll update again when I know more.

Haven't posted but wanted to let you know I've been praying. I would guess that by now she has 3 beautiful babies, praying all is well!

Becky's babies were born between 12:04 and 12:08 today. The boys are about 4 and 1/2 lbs, the girl was 3lbs, 6oz. They are being cared for in the NICU, but seem to be relatively stable. Mom is recovering from the c-section. Thanks so much for your prayers. I'll be going over to visit tomorrow and will keep you updated.

Wow~ Those are actually *good* sizes for triplets at that stage of pregnancy! I'll keep praying for them, I'm glad they are doing well! :)

Yes, the nurses in the NICU said that they are the biggest 32 week triplets they've seen in forever and, PTL, they are all breathing on their own!!!! Thank you for continuing to pray. Becky will be discharged on Wed., but the babies will be in for several weeks still. I'm trying to rally my SS now to provide transportation for her each day from her home to the NICU (about a 30 min. trip) as she won't have clearance to drive for at least 2 weeks post c-sec. She's wanting to spend days at the NICU and then her dh will bring her home at night when he gets off of work.

Please pray that babies continue to do well and that we're able to support our friends.
