I know I normally update on Mondays, but since we just had our doctor appointment, I thought I would fill everyone in on the details...
We went in for our ultrasound first thing this morning and we found out that Emory is so far down that we couldn't measure his head. Cooper is now transverse/breech. So, the plan now is we will have to do a c-section. There is a possibility that he could still flip, but the probability is really low. Everything else measured pretty good for the boys. They are currently 12th and 15th percentile in their growth and for twins at this stage they say that is good. Each of the boys are estimated at about 4.5 pounds at this point.
The doctor did notice that Emory's fluid is a little low. So, he is a little concerned. We go in again on Friday for another ultrasound and then again on Tuesday. They are going to monitor him every couple of days to make sure it doesn't get too low. That is the only concern at this point.
My blood pressure is staying pretty even. So, he thinks the bed rest is continuing to help, but luckily it will only be for another week or so. We are still trying to make it past Christmas. The boys lungs were going pretty active today in the ultrasound, but they still have some maturing to do. So, we want to allow them to cook as long as they can.
So, this week's prayer request would be for Emory and that his fluid levels won't get too low. Thank you for your prayers and for all of those people that have helped us with meals and visits! It means the world to us!!
I will certainly continue to keep these precious "little fellas" in my prayers. You are already a wonderful mother. :)
