Tuesday Morning - Two Weeks In Bed

More news this morning - Our OB came in and gave us the low down on his plans for us. He ordered another ultra sound for this morning and he wants to move us out of the Woodlands this week hopefully, so babies will hit 23 weeks in a facility that can best help them should Bianca deliver any time past this Thursday.

A couple of things; it's not as easy as just picking another hospital and going as a naively thought yesterday. Our OB will start calling around to the major children's hospitals downtown to see which has space and is willing to take our case. Luckily there are lots of options but here is the short list:

  • Women's Hospital of Texas
  • Texas Children's Hospital
  • Children's Memorial Hermann
So fingers crossed that we are able to get to a place that can best help the little one's.

On to the ultra sound - Baby A gave us a nice bit of panic this morning as the tech was not able to find their little heart beat for a long long time. Normally our ulta sounds last a few minutes, this go around it was over 30. Baby A has now gone from a straight position looking as if he was ready to be born any minute, to a curled up little ball. He seems to be setting up shop there and just tucking back into the fetal position. Bianca had a sharp pain in her lower abdomen late last night, and we now think that was Baby A moving and wiggling around. This is why it took so long to find the heart beat, as the entire torso of the baby is behind her pelvic bone. After what seemed like forever though, Baby A's heart beat was found and is doing remarkable well. 

Baby B is doing well and has decided to move around quite a bit. Baby B has gone from breech, to transverse and now to Cephalic meaning head down. We don't think that is an indicator that Baby B is ready to be born, just that they are swimming around and enjoying the extra room. 

So lots of good things are happening and we are hopeful. Modestly of course, but we are happy on where we are now and hope that things continue to get better. We are awaiting to hear back from our OB later on this afternoon to see how things are moving with our search for a new hospital.
