I got a call from my doctor today. Yesterday's ultrasound showed a couple of potential "issues". Firstly, my amniotic fluid levels are measuring quite low which could be potentially stressful for the babies, and may indicate a problem. But then again, it may not be an issue at all! Secondly, although the babies have been the same size through the entire pregnancy, Paige is now measuring much smaller than Garrett. He's at 5 lbs 6 oz and she's at 4 lbs 12 oz - yet they were the same size 4 weeks ago. Once again, it could mean nothing at all... or it could mean that she's under stress. Soooooo, they are going to start me on anti-partum testing twice a week which is basically a combination of ultrasound and and fetal heart monitoring.
Just a quick request that you keep them (and us) in prayer and that these little anomalies prove to be nothing at all. I appreciate my doctor being proactive and she basically said that if they notice any issues that could compromise the babies they'll just take the babies via C-section, especially since Baby A (Paige) is still breach. I have a lot of peace right now and I'm just taking it really easy to put as little stress on them as possible. But we appreciate your prayers!

We will definitely be thinking of you 5 these next couple weeks. I was 4 lbs. 7 oz and Craig was 5 lbs. 11 oz. Hopefully she is just going to be a petite thing... Hang in there and take care of those little miracles!

I am praying for you and the babies. If you need anyone to watch Molly for you while you have to go in for appointments, let me know! I am close by and available most days.
