Identical Twin Boys

Yes, identical twin boys that are due in January. I am pregnant with a set of Monoamniotic - Monochorionic (MoMo) twins. Only 1% of identical twins are MoMo twins. Most twins divide at conception, but these guys decided to divide 8 or so days later which means they are in the same sac and they share the same placenta. There are a variety of concerns and the doctors state that the odds are not in our favor, BUT with the power of prayer we know that God is on our side; therefore, the odds ARE in our favor. The main concern is cord entanglement, but recently we had a scare called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). The babies were showing signs of this three weeks ago and the doctors said that if things did not get better that I would have to have surgery with possibilities of losing one or both of the twins. After a week and lots of prayer things changed. I asked the doctor what made things get better and he said, "the babies have a complicated system, I'm just a doctor that looks at them..the man upstairs is in charge." I believe that God has a plan for us and I pray that we are blessed with two beautiful, healthy baby boys. The past two weeks appointments have been positive. We are going in tomorrow for more measurements. If the babies are doing well we will get to transfer from doctors in Houston to doctors in San Antonio. I know everyone is concerned and many want to know what is going on. Hopefully this blog will help everyone understand and keep in touch. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
