Well first of all, Merry Christmas!
Second, the biopsy I had came back benign. WOOHOO!
Third, the BIG news!
We went and saw Dr. D today to see their growth and check in on the munchkins. My parents got to come along to see an ultrasound which was fun! Since they live in TN they haven't gotten to see the triDye in all their glory!
Dr. D looked at them today and has now declared that John Henry is growth restricted and Sawyer's weight is dropping off as well. The placenta just can't support their growth anymore. My dad likened it to two people sharing milkshake with only one straw. SOOOOO since they are not making the growth percentiles now the date has been moved up for delivery... We also have to go back Thursday to check on them one last time... If Dr. D finds something she doesn't like then, we will go to Labor and Delivery that day.
BUT if all goes fine Thursday we are going to go in to the OR for delivery on Tuesday, January 5, 2016. They will be born at 32 weeks and 2 days. (Which according to Dr. D and literature 32 week old multiples function like 35 week old singleton babies)
She assures me everyone is healthy, the risks just outweigh the benefits at this point.
We sure are excited to see these babies, they are just having to make their debut a little quicker than expected, which is a little nerve wracking, panic inducing, and scary for this soon to be momma! Pretty crazy that the next blog update will probably be from the hospital.
Your prayers are appreciated as always!
I will be thinking about you as I try to keep this one baby incubating for the rest of January!
