Hello to all! Well Preston and I will be heading up to St. Louis to stay. Yep...with this world series going on, we couldn't stay away : ) JK, actually the pregnancy is advancing (some cervical changes were noted this week - it is starting to shorten) so our doctor felt like it would be best for us to be closer to St. Louis in the event I went into labor (as it is VERY important that we are in St. Louis to deliver). So one of mom's friends has been gracious enough to let us stay with her. We will head up Sunday. Luckily, I am not yet on complete bedrest. Dr. Vlastos called it 'modified bedrest.' Today was my last day at work.
The babies were still trucking along...just getting a little anxious to get out apparently : ) The baby's fluid levels are remaining stable (meaning Baby A is still able to swallow). Baby A was 3 lb 9 oz and Baby B was 3 lb 7 oz - which are both about average size at this point. We also had an echocardiogram, which showed normal heart function for both. Baby A's heart walls were slightly thickened (due to having to work extra hard supplying blood for the mass and his own self) however they weren't too concerned with this. They thought that this should resolve after birth.
So, as the time draws nearer, we just asked for continued prayers for the delivery process. First, the best case scenario is that the whole procedure is planned and secondly, that they are able to secure an airway on Baby A (before Baby B starts showing any signs of stress) otherwise Baby A's health and life is placed in jeporady.
We so appreciate the support and prayers!
Love,
~Liz
