"Well I have everything ready oh shoot no, my to go bag only did the boys and Maria's" Abby said.
"Okay I will remind you when we get home" Gloria said.
"Did you take your driving test yet?" Helena said
"No, not yet. We have to go to the bank after this" Abby said.
"Okay, then after we will go after the bank. You really need the drivers license" Helena said.
Abby nodded her head, she was finally called to the back as the three ladies went in the back, Abby got on the bed as they waited for the doctor to come in.
"Hello ladies" Dr. Jackson said.
"Hello Dr. Jackson" Abby said.
"So, how are you feeling" Dr. Jackson said.
"Good, not much morning sickness only when someone cooks bacon" Abby said.
"Good, so today we are going to check their growth so that means I have to use the wand to go inside" Dr. Jackson said.
"Okay" Abby said.
She was glad that she was wearing a dress today, he helped her lean back and put the sheet on and lift her legs up bring the machine over, Helena and Gloria stood beside her another nurse came in to help out.
"Okay your going to feel something cold" Dr. Jackson said
Abby nodded, she held Gloria's hand, Abby felt the cold wand go inside she squeeze Gloria's hand as she took a deep breath.
"Okay Baby boy A is health growth is normal and health, Baby boy B is also healthy and normal growth. Now baby girl is normal and healthy but she's a bit small" Dr. Jackson said.
"Is that something to worry about?" Abby said.
"No, she's just small. She probably has your height as for the two boys they must have their father's height that's why they are slightly bigger but if you want her to grow then drink lots of milk but like I said she's just small nothing else is wrong they are developing well" Dr. Jackson said.
"Okay, more milk" Abby said
The doctor was wrapping up.
"I also did 3D pictures for you and which is which for you" Dr. Jackson said.
"Um, Dr. Jackson before I forget, I am lactating and I wanted to know if I can start pumping and store it in the freezer because I don't really want to use formula" Abby said.
"Yes you can. At room temperature (77°F or colder) for up to 4 hours. In the refrigerator for up to 4 days. In the freezer for about 6 months is best; up to 12 months is acceptable." Dr. Jackson said.
"Also, I wanted to know if I can get the electric breast pump and just put it on the insurance" Abby said.
"Yeah you can, those usually last a few years but depends on how many times you use it and clean it" Dr. Jackson said.
"Okay that's good also I need some more proscription for prenatal" Abby said.
"Okay I will have the nurse get all those for you, and I will see you in a few weeks for your next check but again no stress and call me if you feel any pain or if you have any questions" Dr. Jackson said.
"Thank you I will" Abby said.
"Can we get two more prints on them?" Helena asked.
"Sure, the nurse will give them to you" Dr. Jackson said.
Abby looked at Helena and she looked back her.
"Gloria isn't going to get pregnant until she's going to thirty so this little ones are the closet to grandchildren me and David will have" Helena said.
Abby smile and Gloria agreed with her mother, the three went out and waited for nurse as she gave them the breast pump as well as two boxes of the bag to put the milk in.
"Make sure you right the date and when the babies come start with the date from the beginning like if today you pump and then just store it in the freezer" the nurse said.
"Do you have a to go breast pump as well? She's going to school and she may need to pump those times as well" Helena said.
"Sure, I will get one as well, and another box of bag that you can carry with you or leave in a car" the nurse said.
"Thank you" Helena said.
The nurse then walked away.
"Thanks Helena I forgot about that" Abby said.
"Don't worry dear" Helena said
A few moment later the nurse came back with two more boxes, Gloria and Helena took most of the boxes as they made there way back to the car.
"I might need one of the boxes now so I can start I feel full" Abby said.
"Okay dear, you pump but we need to stop at the store before the Bank so we can get a cooler with ice so it will be kept cool and not spoiled" Helena said.
"Okay" Abby said.
"I have to go guys, I meeting a friend and there going to drop me off at work" Gloria said.
