Reasons to Blessed!

So I had my first doc appt. in Eugene today, and it was an amazing appt.  The sonagrapher did my ultrasound within 10 of my being there, and the first thing I noticed was a really thin white line coming down between the babies heads.  And she took the words right out of my mouth...There was a membrane between the two...PRAISE THE LORD!!!  She told me that about 85% of people with a diagnosis of mono-mono  twins that are seen at that clinic, come to find out that it was mis-diagnosed.  Early on in the pregnancy it is easy to not catch the membrane.  Sometimes it depends on the picture quality of the equipment  being used, sometimes it is just too thin to see.  The doc then came in and told me that they are definitely identical twins, and that they definitely have their own amniotic sacs.  But he did inform me that they are sharing the same placenta, which can still present its own problems.  There is something that is called Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS)
TTTS occurs when blood moves from one twin to the other. The twin that loses the blood is called the donor twin. The twin that receives the blood is called the recipient twin.
Both infants may have problems depending on the severity of the transfusion. The donor twin may have too little blood, and the other may have too much blood. The donor twin may need a blood transfusion, while the recipient twin may need to have the amount of blood in his or her body reduced.
Treatment may require repeated amniocentesis during pregnancy. Fetal laser surgery may be done to interrupt the flow of blood from one twin to the other.
After birth, treatment depends on the infant's specific symptoms. The donor twin may need a blood transfusion to treat anemia.
The recipient twin may need to have the volume of body fluid reduced. This may involve an exchange transfusion.
Medications may be given to treat heart failure in the recipient twin
If the twin-to-twin transfusion is mild, full recovery is expected for both babies.

So we still need lots of prayer for the health of these babies, but for right now the babies look great!

So here is pic of both of their heads, and the very thin line in the middle is the membrane!

Baby A, on the left side of my tummy.

And here is Baby B, on the right side of tummy.

So as you can see they are little peanuts..(actually gummy bears, that's how little they are.)  Today I am 9 weeks 5 days, and the due date is still Oct. 5th.  there is a lowered chance of me having a c-section now, which I am stoked about!  Anyways, please keep praying guys, we need it!
