Trampoline

Bryce face down

Brendan face down

The boys had their 1 week post surgery check up yesterday. I'm so happy to report that both boys are doing fabulous! I truly believe we have your prayers to thank for this.

Brendan has a visible bladder now and enough of an amniotic sac that he was able to flip himself and be breech with Bryce. It was fun to see the ultrasound with them both breech. They were kicking each other and pushing. Both of them can now use my bladder as a trampoline, and they are!

When Dr. Walker came in after the initial ultrasound, he did his own quick ultrasound. He found that Brendan's bladder was empty again, but that his amniotic sac had grown. He's become quite the little pee-er, and with his new roomier accomodations he's been less cooperative for the blood flows. You will also note that neither wanted a photo taken either. Both of them kept their noses to my back nearly the entire time. Bryce was also uncooperative for the blood flows, but his also looked great, and his sac had not grown any after they took out the pint. It was wonderful news, and made Dana and I feel so much better.

The staff at Eastside Maternal Fetal Medicine have been amazing, and I wish I could see them for all of my follow up appointments. Unfortunately, my insurance isn't game for that. They did send us off with warm handshakes, and a hug. We have also promised to send photos and updates (and the placenta after their birth, as part of the study).

Thank you to all of you that prayed for us and the boys. We still have 3 more follow ups, but both boys are doing great, and we can't imagine that changing. I look forward to visiting all of you and thanking you personally very soon.
