Recent Doctor Visit Wednesday, September 15

Sorry for the late update, but our Internet was down earlier today. Yesterday we went to Houston and had the major organ scan. Everything looked beautiful! We saw fingers, toes, hands, feet, kidneys, bladders, brains, eyes, noses, lips, bones, 4 chamber hearts, and a bunch of other things. The amazing thing is that they are both so very healthy. I loved it when the sonographer and the doctor looked at the sonogram and said, "which one is the bigger baby, they are both looking to be the same size!" Yes! I thought, because they have been labeled big baby B and little baby A since the problem we had at 16 weeks. Here we are at 21 weeks and they are looking similar again; baby A is catching up. It is a total blessing to have two healthy babies growing inside me, and the support from thoughts and prayers make me feel at peace. We are definitely still faced with the reality of cord entanglement. They are already extremely tangled and twisted like a bowl of spaghetti (Trey's description). The first twist and knot starts at their abdomens so they are pretty close to one another at all times. We pray for God's will and I hope and pray God's will is that I deliver two happy, healthy babies. I've read good stories and bad stories, and I pray a miracle is in store for us. I love to see them touching each others face and I can tell they love eachother. We were able to see 3D (I'll post pics ASAP). They were both smiling! I can tell they are ready for a little bit of their own space because one second they are touching eachother nicely and then one gets kicked in the face or elbowed in the gut. It's definitely an exciting sight. I know everyone is also wondering if I'm going to get to go to San Antonio now, but Houston decided to keep me a little while longer. I am a rare case and I feel like a freak show. Everyone comes in to see me (residents, etc.) and I'm sure I'm a documented case. I do get a break from seeing the doctor next week and then I will head to Houston again the following week on Wednesday. Obviously, they don't want me to leave (probably because they get money everytime we come) but I think, know they love us too. Awesome Christian environment! They have even offered me a room in their home while under their care. Seriously! I am so blessed to be in great hands. It is hard to leave Houston, but I know in my heart that when I go inpatient (into the hospital) on November 1st I will want to be surrounded by friends and family, especially having the opportunity to see Quade and Trey more often (if I'm in San Antonio). Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers! Keep them coming!
