Friday's update

hi everyone,

If you couldn't tell, Monday's exam left us a little dissappointed, and somewhat frustrated. Friday made up for it!

The boys are looking good, and showing great improvement. Spencer's (donor baby) pocket of fluid was up to 7, and Micah's pocket only increased by about 1.2, so things are leveling out. Their hearts, doppler's bladders, etc. continue to look good as well.

We actually got to meet with our doctor this time, and we will be meeting with her (yes, the same doctor) each week. We will be going back down for check-ups only once a week, on Fridays. Hurray for fewer road trips!

In about 2-3 weeks we will have another fetal echo-cardiogram done, and in another 4 weeks they will check the growth of the babies again. They will also be checking for various other things as we go along, so that when I do go into labor, they will know where the babies are at, and what they will need.

Seth and I feel very confident that we will make it to at least 28 weeks (only four weeks away-wow that is close!), and anything beyond that will be great.

The past week I have been able to tell a difference in my body on the days when I push too hard, and when I don't, so I will be trying to maintain my modified bed rest as much as possible. Luckily I am surrounded by great people who will help to make this possible.

Thanks for all of your love and support! We couldn't do it without you!

Dearest Melissa Seth and family!

We love you and pray for all of you each day. So many people here ask about you and say you are in their prayers, many that really don't know you that it amazes me. Wish we were closer but as you, we too are grateful for those who are close and are helping you so much. Love Mom and Dad
