Ultrasound tomorrow

Monday's ultrasound was great and the babies looked better than they have the entire time we've been here. Not that they have looked bad at any point, but they both scored 8/8 on their little scale that the doctors use and both had some fluid around them. Our doctor was super excited and told us that it's truly a miracle that we are still here with babies still growing .. something we already knew :) Thank you for your prayers! God has been with us and in our situation he has chosen to give the babies more time to grow and develop. If you think of it, please pray a prayer of thanksgiving for us.

We have another ultrasound tomorrow and they will measure the babies again. If you recall from two weeks ago, he was measuring in the 33rd percentile and she was in the 10th. They will only talk about delivering if one of they has fallen to the 5th percentile or below. Well, one doctor says the 3rd and one says the 5th, so maybe the 4th? Usually the scans are in the morning but on Monday they came at 3:00, so we'll see what time we go tomorrow. We're praying that they've grown and I can tell you that I feel as if they've grown, but since there's two in there it might be hard for me to tell at this point.

I started having contractions late yesterday afternoon and kind of had a little panic attack .. I have been having little contractions the entire time I've been here. But now I can feel them. They're not painful but now that I can tell that's what it is, I just get a little nervous. But the babies looked fine through them and after a lot of water, they stopped. Our doctor told us this morning that even if we hadn't been through all of this, that I would still probably be in her office saying I was having contractions and wondering what's going on. So it's normal :) It only took two nurses and a doctor to tell me it was normal before I believed them. Hello ... I've been trusting them for this long, not sure why I'd think they're crazy now!

I was thinking today about our first visit to the high risk doctor back in December. How far we have come and have well the babies have done is just a testament to what God has done and is doing in our lives. It's kind of funny how none of those same doctors have mentioned what they told us back then. Of course they haven't .. because they were wrong. And I don't think they like to be wrong, much less admit it. But that's okay - we know the truth, the way and the life that Christ brings and Proverbs 16:9 reminds me that we can make our own plans, but God directs our steps. He's known all along how this would go and has went before us and has walked beside us. I'm so thankful.

Be blessed and please keep praying!
