We had our appointment in St. Louis yesterday afternoon...On the positive side (as I'm really trying to stay positive right now) both Baby A and Baby B are growing well. Baby A was 2 lb 15 oz and Baby B was 3 lb. Both continue to develop well. The heart and lungs are developing well and the mass does not appear to be affecting Baby A's ability to swallow or the airway. All blood flow levels also look good. We got some pretty cute pictures of them today : )
On the down side, the mass continues to grow at a very rapid pace which is a little concerning to the physicians as well. We know that it was being fed by one of the carotid arteries but now looks like it may have tapped into the opposite carotid as well (meaning it is getting even better blood supply). The size of it now is making it hard to get a full picture of what exactly is being affected. So, keep the prayers coming and we will just wait to see what God has in store for us.
The goal is still to make it to 36 weeks (the end of November) but of course it is still a waiting game at this point. Preston and I can NOT tell you how much your support and prayers mean to us!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
The other bit of exciting news...we found out the sex of the babies!!!! Scroll down if you want to know what these two stinkers are : )
We are having two little BOYS!!!!!!
