Twin update

I am sorry to have left you hanging without updating about our last two appointments! Times have been busy!  

Last week we had another ultrasound appointment, mostly to look at the fluid levels in the sacs, and all looked good.  Both twins had sac sizes within the range of normal (as it was the week before) but there was still a discrepancy between the two in terms of how much fluid was measured (which is the reason for worry, since with TTTS the discrepancies become more and more noticable). 

Yesterday, we had another long anatomy scan ultrasound, where they measured all sorts of body parts and organs and such, tracked blood flow and looked at all the chambers and valves in the heart, etc.  Everything looked great, they are both measuring on track (18 weeks) and very similar to each other.  The fluid levels were still within normal and slightly less different, too.  Whew!  This one really made us feel good.  

I am feeling better, too –  today in particular I felt like I had so much more energy and felt less out of breath and achy and such.  What a relief!  I am not sure if this is because it was just a quiet day inside, because I have had two good nights of sleep in a row, because we are finally weaned (!! — more on this soon!) or because I am just finally getting past the tired stage for a bit here…..probably a combo of everything.   I’ll take it! 

And, um, I am starting to look Very Pregnant.  Like way more than 18 weeks.  Will try to get some photos up soon (that would require taking them, however….)
