The boys are still trucking along according to the ultrasound on Monday evening. Their size difference has increased to 36% with baby A at 3lbs 1oz and baby B at 1lb 15oz (multiples are identified according to the order of which they would naturally be born). Baby B’s cord flow is still lower than it should be but his heartrate isn’t fluctuating with contractions so the doctor is content to keep him in for about another week. All of his nutrients are going to his head and heart. The trouble with this is eventually his other organs could suffer from not getting enough of what they need. Another week is also important to the growth of Baby A’s lungs. We’ve already gotten farther along than was expected. We had a few different scares along the way starting early in the second trimester so we are thankful our little dudes have made it this far.

The excitement of being parents is really setting in now that we know how soon the boys will be here. I’m also anxious to get back home and finish setting up the nursery. I’ll be on the mend for awhile after the cesarean and will be making many trips to the hospital to see and eventually to nurse the boys.

We will update here with news and photos as the boys progress as only family members are allowed to visit the NICU.

Thanks again for all the support that keeps pouring in. Both David and I appreciate all the support of our community.
