All is Good!


Today we had another ultrasound. I am 21 weeks and things are looking just fine. The girls are now in the Breech Position (taking after their brother for now) and their heart rates are in the 150's. There is good blood flow in the umbilical cords and for now there are not any tangles to be concerned about.


The doctor that we saw today made me feel sooo much better about the weeks to come. He was more Brian and my style. Which many of you know is anything but "textbook". He has been doing this for over 20 years and is very knowledgeable in real life experiences. The last doctor we had seen was very dry and textbook. He did say that most losses with monoamniotic twins happen before 20 weeks and that when it was time to be admitted to the hospital, we would have a say in when I go. He also said that if we wanted to do outpatient monitoring when the time came that was also an option.


We are going to take things a week at a time. It is my hope to stay out of the hospital as long as possible and deliver as late as possible.
