Just to be prepared...

Today we had an ultrasound, it didn't go as planned. US are suppose to be fun and full of joy but when you are pregnant but this isn't always so with MoMo twins. You never know what you are going to learn. The first thing we always ask is do you see both heart beats. Both were beating strong, Yeah :) We had the same tech as usual and we really like her. Today she even surprised us by pulling out the 4D wand to get some special pictures for us. We got some really cool ones of Baby A. Baby B wasn't cooperative and stayed on her belly so we couldn't see her face. The tech told us it didn't really matter though cause the girls are identical so seeing Baby A is the same as seeing Baby B. LOL so funny. Maybe this was all to lighten are mood for when the Dr. came into give us the results.

When Doctor came in she started off with going over what to expect next week when Jade starts here inpatient journey of being monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is hard and rigorous. It is almost like being in jail. You are trapped on a bed with three monitors on your belly with very little breaks. And if significant decels are noticed then you are prepped for an emergency c-section. It can be emotionally trying being away from your family and basically locked in a small room for 2 1/2 months. Well we understand that have been getting everything ready for that as much as we can.

Then the bad news came...

Something is wrong with Baby B. She is now two weeks behind in growth. Her brain is growing normally but her body is not. They can not find a cause. Her cord flow appears to be normal. The Doctors do not think it is from TTTS because Baby A is right on track. The Dr talked to Jade about the possibility of Baby B passing. They can not find any reason but her growth restriction is very concerning and because of this it is a possibility  It was then discussed that if this happens they will have to get Baby A out right away so that nothing happens to her. Since they are in the same sac sharing the same placenta there is no other option.

Needless to say we are on our knees praying that God heals Baby B and keeps them safely in their moms womb for awhile longer....
