We had our followup appointment with our perinatologist this morning and we cried MANY happy tears! Both babies looked great! little Baby A already showed her bladder again (I have never been so happy to see a bladder before)...which could have taken up to a few weeks. Baby A's little sac had changed from .75 cm on Friday, to 3.5 cm today!!!!!!HUGE improvement!!!! for the first time ever, we could watch little baby A actually move around in her sac, The membrane was actually moving freely and therefore baby was able to move! The biggest fluid measurement we have ever seen on baby A was 2.6 before and before now we had only seen her wedged into the wall of the placenta and suran wrapped by the membrane. Although the membrane is still close to her, at least now it moves and she can move. Baby B,s sac was down to a little over 7.
It was the greatest feeling to sit and watch BOTH babies moving around like they should be and to see both of them healthy after such an ordeal last week.
Kris and I just sat there in amazement as we watched the ultra sound findings. We are overcome with gratitude.....gratitude that we can not even express. we have witnessed a major miracle! I know we are not out of the woods yet, but we have overcome a HUGE hurdle and things are looking good right now. Even the ultra sound tech today was talking about how we must have caught this just in the nick of time. Had we waited even a week, the situation would have been detrimental now.
I just held my breath every minute of that surgery last week and it seemed like eternity, waiting to hear that he had finished successfully. Then we held our breath the next day waiting to see two heartbeats and then we held our breath this morning to see good improvement! It has been a long week of emotions and we are just grateful to be on this end of such a miracle.
The doctors were all literally cheering at the outcome today! they recognized the miracle and they said now we have done what we can do and we just cross our fingers and pray for the rest of the pregnancy to continue on this uphill path.
We will continue to be monitored weekly and will be on bed rest....counting down each week closer to term.
So extremely grateful and counting our blessings! Thank you again for all the prayers! I know they were heard and we are SO THANKFUL!

I was so happy to hear from your mom today that the babies are growing and evening out their fluid levels! Must be a drag to be on bed rest, but sounds like you are doing everything possible for a happy outcome. Prayers continue.
