We still have both heartbeats...yeah! It was sure nice to get some good news at our appointments this week.
The larger baby is growing well and all of her blood flow looks good. Please keep praying that she will continue to grow and develop well.
The smaller baby is still growing, but she is 17 days behind her sister. The smaller baby isn't getting good blood flow through her umbilical cord. The good news is that she is protecting her brain by using the blood she is getting to supply her brain adequately. Unfortunately this could mean that her other organs are suffering because of the lack of proper circulation. She needs special prayers to assure that her entire body is getting enough blood to keep hanging on and not have long term organ damage. She has been experiencing this condition to some degree for atleast 6 weeks now, so we know that she is one tough cookie and has a strong will to live! I am so thankful!
Our new goal for delivery is 32 weeks (4th of July...ish). 7 more weeks and we will have our TWO beautiful baby girls to hold. I can hardly wait!
I am feeling much more hopeful now. Thank you all so much for your continued thoughts and prayers. We are truely blessed!
I also wanted to mention that we have been so lucky to have doctors and other medical staff that care so much about us and our babies. We thank God for our doctors and HIS work through their hands.
