Thursday - Afternoon

So sorry for not posting earlier as I have been asked a bunch about our status now. On top of living in the hospital and trying to take care of my wife and kiddos, I still have to balance work and the day to day. No need to feel sorry for me at all, but it makes updating a little harder than normal.

We had our ultra sound this morning (of course right when I left for work) and got little to no information once it was complete. I got back here this afternoon and finally got to talk to the nurse (the on call OB got stuck in surgery and has not been by).

Baby B is now transverse as opposed to breech as they were on Tuesday and Baby A is much the same. Heart beats are still strong and both still show movement. Baby A obviously has much less room to wiggle in, but is still hanging tough and doing everything they can to protect their baby sister.

Also got the good news that Bianca's white cell count is a bit lower, but overall the same as Tuesday. In most cases I would be worried that she is not getting better, but we are over the moon thrilled that she is not getting worse. We have been holding so close to keeping things still that knowing she is the same is just music to our ears.

The nurses are also recommending that she start limited PT (physical therapy) not so much because she is hurt, but she is in bed ALL THE TIME. So little exercises here and there will help her not lose all of her muscle tone and strength.

I have recently been told about procedures to add fluid and do other things to try and protect Baby B, but so far my research and questions to our doctors has resulted in us staying the course. For those of you interested, the actual term for low fluid is Oligohydraminos and is the cause of about 30-40% of second trimester premature births. Oddly enough, in most of the cases I have read about this, complete labor happens with 72 hours and we are now counting 10 days in the hospital. We are so very happy to hit 10 days!

We are so grateful to James, Dani and Julian for the great flowers as well as Jarrod, Michelle and Jordan's flowers and Paul, Abby and Co (sorry you have too many kids ;-) flowers!!

I thank you all for the support and love we have felt during this time and all the prayers. Every night as we go to bed we thank Heavenly Father for all the amazing people who have come into our lives and who surrond us with love right now.
