You've come a long way babies!


They are both doing good! One is horizontal and one is vertical to the ultrasound wand so no matter how they tried to get pictures, one is tiny and distance and the other appears to be giant. They say that our next ultrasound they both should be a good size and we should be able to get better individual pictures.
The best news of all is that the fluid sac is gone. Maybe it was typical, or common, whatever. I know that it was a answer to prayer. I was very worried that this sac was a hemorrhage or the precursor to a birth defect. We are not really out of the woods for either of those scenarios, however at 7 weeks, we are creeping closer to the "celebratory" phase of pregnancy.
More positive news is that although brief the doctor checked out the "hernia" kind of pain and she feels that with no bulge yet, that it is more than likely adhesion's. This is a very uncomfortable occurrence but after one releases there is actually some relief until the next one separates. She said that in fact it could be early ligament pain because the uterus is expanding a bit quicker for two. If it continues we will consult with a surgeon for post delivery issue or a support belt if it worsens. All very do able.
I would like to thank everyone who has continued to include us in their prayers and supported us in this pregnancy, some days are scary and some days the stress is a bit much so it is very nice to know that even if Tom and I aren't our selves, you all understand and continue to support us.
If you want to know what we need...more prayers. Patience, calmness, health and the lord will continue to carry these babies in the palm of his hand, protecting and watching them.
