Another trip to Minneapolis to check on our babies. After a long wait in the waiting room it was our turn again. We never know what we might find out, so we try to console each other while the technician takes a look at our babies. Again the dopplers for both babies look good, and both appear to be producing urine. Baby A's fluid level is .8cm, and Baby B's fluid level is 9cm. This is not good news, but I guess it is not bad news either. We saw a different perinatologist today, but he managed to answer some of our questions in a different manner, and boy did we have lots of them. We are scheduled for the Betamethasone steroid shots for next week. These will be given because our babies will more than likely be born prematurely, and they will help boost lung development. We were told that we may face some very tough decisions on whether or not to have the babies prematurely in the near future, but we are hoping that our babies can hang on until 28 weeks and we will go from there. We keep praying.
Thanks to all of you who have called to check in on us, and who have sent prayers and well wishes our way. It is great to know that we have a wonderful support team out there cheering for us along this difficult road.
