This time I was not even scared....

So the last couple weeks have been busy and some what eventful. I guess it started on Nov 29th when Jade called me in the evening from South Lake Tahoe to tell me that she thinks she has another UTI because of the symptoms she was experiencing. Most of all she was concerned about all the cramping she was feeling. I asked her if she was having them every ten minutes, or less, apart. She said no. I told her to go ahead and call her Peri in the morning. In the mean time to try to get a good nights rest.The next morning while on my way home from work I was driving down the street having a very serious conversation with God. I was asking, praying, begging and thanking him for keeping these babies safe when all of a sudden a calm reassurance came over me and I knew these babies are going to be alright. Now I have talked to God all my life however this pregnancy has brought us closer to him. And I am thrilled to see him at work in my daughter Jade. These babies are truly miracles!

When Jade got in touch with her Peri that day she was told to go to the local L&D since it was snowing and the road conditions weren't safe for a 2 1/2 hour drive down the hill to Kaiser Roseville. I am sorry what a waste of time. That hospital should be ashamed at the etiquette of its staff. Now I understand they don't have the technology to treat these babies if anything were to go wrong and to explain to Jade she really needed to go home was correct. BUT to be rude to a scared mom of a such an extremely high risk pregnancy was uncalled for. They told her she didn't have a UTI and that if she really thought she needed to see the OB they could call the on-call in. She said no thanks. They actually told her she had to pay her copay before they would let her leave. Now she argued that her secondary would pick up the copay and left to head down the hill.

Dec 8th, A week later Jade was visiting my friend Anna here in YC. Jade was feeling very crampy and things didn't feel right. Gosh off to a local hospital again. It really sucks that we live so fay away from the hospital that has A level 3 NICU and our Peri team. When you feel like you need to be seen dont want to drive so far. Plus if there is an emergency they can medically transport you. At this hospital they treat her much better but after the ultra sound at almost midnight they call the on call OB in to talk to Jade. The OB is very concerned about the growth discordance. She thinks we need to talk to the Peri in the morning. The cords are tangled ball but she believes we might be looking at TTTS. Baby B is now in the 10th percentile while twin A is in the 50th. Oh my gosh the last thing we want to hear. But our team has been monitoring closely. Jade was just at Kaisers L&D last week and the intern that did the ultrasounds didn't think the babies weights were that far off. We awere also very kindly asked not to return. She said if we could not make it to Roseville to come in but they did not have the means to care for babies this early. She was very nice about it but What the heck, this is all so hard. Never a dull moment in a MoMo twin pregnancy.

Jade called her Peri in the morning and told her what had happened. She said they are aware of what is going on with the babies and because twin A is not showing any signs of TTTS they dont think this is what is happeneing.  Okay so we are going into see the Peri in a couple days......

Baby A on the defense
