Falling Mountains...

" When I call on Jesus, Mountains are gonna fall..."

This song has been in my head all day.

God has been so gracious to us, I just dont know how to take it all in!
We got such exciting news today, and some have made the comment to me that I dont seem excited, and let me just say I am ECSTATIC, I am just dumbfounded!!! So, I am letting it soak all in before I jump off the walls. :)

I know that God is answering our prayers, I just dont feel worthy of Him to do so. So when Doctors continue to give us good news, I just remain speechless and amazed. God is so gracious that to thank Him just doesnt seem like enough. He is saving my baby girls lives and I feel like I owe Him so much MORE than a thank you! I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude. "When you call on Jesus, all things are possible" and I believe that with every beat of my heart!!!!

Today has been 2 weeks since I was admitted into the hospital. My first week here the girls fluids were so unstable that I had to have 3 amnio reductions. My second week here and millions of prayers later the girls have stabilized so much that I have had NO amnio reductions.

Today we had another ultra sound and they checked their fluids, their growths, and my cervix.

Molly's fluid level was 5.5cm and Emma's was 4.6 cm!!! The girls are right under 1cm difference in their fluid levels which is excellent!
Remember just a week ago, Molly was up to 13 cm and Emma only had 0.5! So, God is truly showing his grace to my babies.

Their growths also really excited me. Both girls are measuring only ONE day behind eachother's gestational age. Emma was measuring 25 weeks 4days, Molly was measuring 25 weeks 5 days. I am 26 weeks 1 day, so they are doing amazing with their growth considering they are twins and especially considering they have twin to twin transfusion.

Remember I said that in TTTS it is very common for their to be anywhere from 50% to 200% difference in the sizes of the babies? Two weeks ago there was a 22% difference in their sizes and now there is hardly ANY difference in the sizes of my babies at all!!!

Emma weighed 1 lb 7 oz and Molly weighed 1 lb 8oz!!!!

I am just so amazed at the goodness of our God! In two weeks time, TTTS could have very well taken over my pregnancy and my babies yet God has protected them the entire time and TTTS doesnt even stand a chance at this point!

Please continue to PRAY PRAY PRAY that my baby girls will CONTINUE to excel and will continue to GROW and be STRONG HEALTHY little fighters!!
Pray that TTTS wont prevail over my girls but that my girls through God would prevail over TTTS!!

Lastly, they checked my cervix to make sure it hadnt shortened. My cervix at this point should be over 2 cm and The last time they checked, my cervix had got all the way down to 1.6cm
Today when they measured, my cervix was 2.3cm!!!!!!
How in the world that happened...all I can say is it's GOD!!!!


I am so excited, and happy, and relieved. I just dont feel worthy of all this mercy God is showing us but let me say that I am THANKFUL for every bit of it!!!
He has really taught me humility that is for sure. I feel so humble.

My girls are doing so well that Doctors are giving me permission to go home!
Two weeks ago when I came in they said I would be here until I delivered. Two weeks ago they didnt expect me to make it past 3 to 4 more weeks. Now they think I will atleast go to 32 weeks!!! That is a BIG difference in a 1 pound baby or atleast a 3 pound baby!
So things are looking very hopeful for my babies if they continue on this track.

I am not at this point accepting the invitation to go home. I feel much safer here. My babies are being monitered 24/7 by doctors. Their fluids are being checked every other day. And I am right where I need to be if at any moment things change.
Also, it is much easier for me to be on complete bed rest at the hospital. At home, i will have to cook and do so much more for myself. Being layed up in bed around the clock like I am now would not be near as possible.

If their fluids decide to change...it can do so in just a day. And a once a week dr visit will not be enough time to catch it before it is able to do some serious damage to the babies. So i would just feel more secure if there were a 3-4 week consistency of stability instead of running home after just 1 week of great news.

So anyway, they said that as long as the insurance company doesnt run me out the doors I can stay. So pray that if this is where I need to be that I will be able to stay and pray that if i MUST go home, that God will give me a peace about it.

Please continue to pray that the girls will have stable fluids and pray that the placenta will continue distribute equally so that Molly isnt recieving too much blood flow and Emma not enough.

And also pray that my body will allow me to STAY pregnant. The longer the girls are in there the better!

Thank you so much for lifting us up in prayer. Please dont stop because I am convinced that God is listening!!!
