Good News:
- Babies development at this stage is considered normal.
- Both of their necks are the perfect size. (They look at this to see if there are possible birth defects.)
- I’m doing great with my diet & I gained a 1 lb. (I need to continue to gain a 1lb a week.)
- They are kind of stacked. They call Baby A the one on the bottom & Baby B the one on the top. They will probably stay in these spots, but could trade.
- I can go to the “sister” clinic to see the specialists at the Swedish campus in the Highlands making it easier for us to get to the appts. Micah can easily swing over for my appts so I don’t have to hear anything scary by myself.
Things to pray about:
- One baby is bigger than the other. This could mean twin to twin transfusion which means they are directly sharing their blood supply. We were given three scenarios, 1 was scary, 2 was a little scary & involved surgery, and 3 was that they would work it out and start sharing. Pray for #3. It’s still early so they just don’t know what is happening right now so they are going to keep a close eye on the babies. I will start to see the specialists every 2 weeks so my next appt is on Oct. 19th. I also will see Dr. Moore on that same day.
- By mid Jan my body will be the size it would normally be at 40 weeks so they suggest having all my ducks in a row by then. Long-term sub, babies room ready, car seats, house in order, etc. My hope is that we will have everything ready and then nothing will happen because we’re so prepared.
- It’s overwhelming for us and we just want healthy little babies arriving in the spring.
So that’s all the news for now. Thanks for your prayers!
Apparently, the sex is already determined but they couldn’t tell what they are. Maybe in a couple weeks!
