Baby update!

Today I went for another scan with my high risk maternal fetal medicine doctor. The babies were moving and kicking like crazy, which is always so comforting to me.

I’m 24 weeks along. Both babies are weighing about 1 lb 5oz each and their fluid levels are looking good! Baby A has 5.5 cm of fluid and Baby B has 4.5. If you’ve read a previous post about the babies, you know that we are watching their fluid levels very carefully to determine that we do not have Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. Today’s ultrasounds show that their fluid levels are evening out, and that both babies are healthy. Hallelujah! Thank you to everyone who has been thinking about us and praying, specifically for the safety of the twins.

I am starting to feel some effects of my 1st chemo last week. Mostly fatigue, but also some major heartburn and mouth sores. I’m thankful it’s nothing worse yet. I’m still dreading my hair falling out, but I have it for now. Michael, my mom, and my sister have been taking over almost everything around the house so I can rest, and I’m so thankful. We’ve also received lots of food, which is a lifesaver!

Next week is Olentangy Berlin Band’s big indoor show called “Under the Lights!”. If you are local, we’d love for you to join us! Our kiddos wear ear protection, but they love the lights and the sounds and the fun spectacle. It’s a fun family event!

Thanks to everyone following along! We are so thankful for this community we have lifting us up! 💕
