Today makes 3 weeks since I was admitted into the hospital. I am praying for many more weeks to pass by. Every day counts when it comes to my sweet girls. Today is also two whole weeks since I have had to have an amnio reduction. Thank God for that! Dr Brown said that he is very impressed and that we were starting to bore him because things are just sailing right along the way they should.
Well Dr. Brown, I have no apologies! I hope that we can bore you for many more weeks to come! :)
During today's ultra sound Miss Emma did not want to wake up and perform for us! She was literally sleeping. Would not move unless we jiggled my belly and made her move.It kinda made me nervous for a second but her heart rate was a good 135 bpm so she was okay. She was just snoozing. :)
She is on my left side laying head down with her back facing my belly.
On the ultra sound we saw that her little bladder was full and she actually went
tee-tee while we were watching so that means her kidney's are doing what they are suppose to.
And she is already practicing her breathing which means her lungs are doing what they should at this point as well.
The Dr said that most babies dont practice learning how to breathe until about 32 weeks and I am at 27 weeks and Emma actually started practicing this 2 weeks ago! So she is ahead of the game. My little trooper!
Baby Molly was very active, as usual. She is moving and moving and moving.
Dr.Brown calls her crazy Molly. :) I am pretty sure she is going to be my ritalin child. :)
One of Molly's favorite things to do is to bunch up in a ball.
When she does this you can see the right side of my belly raised up further than the rest and when you touch it, it is SO stinkin hard. I get so tickeled when she does this because when i put my hand on my belly and its as hard as it is I feel like I am directly touching her. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
I am so excited about the day that I get to hold my sweet girls and touch them my skin to theirs for the very 1st time.
Molly was also practicing her breathing and her heart rate was 125bpm. She is also laying head down but her belly was up facing my belly unlike Emma whose back was facing my belly. Molly is on my right side and her little legs are so long when she stretches them out and kicks I can feel her little feet all the way up under neath my breasts!
Both of their fluid levels look great! Emma had 3.3cm and Molly had 4.4cm so they are both maintaining their fluid levels very well!
God has shown my baby girls so much grace! Emma Grace has a whole new meaning to it. Because it is truly God's Grace that has rescued my sweet girls this far and it's His mercy that will continue to rescue them.
I am so thankful for all the visitors and messages that we have recieved from everyone, including total strangers! I am just in awe at the kindness so many of you have shown, and I am so grateful for all the prayers that have been going up on behalf of my little angels.
As I have said before, please dont stop! This journey is not over until it's over. Right now every day, is just an extra day of grace. So please continue to pray for God's grace on my precious little girls.
Thank you!
Yay im so happy for yall. Babies are amazing little things!
