Praise the LORD

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

We spoke to the doctor before we went down for the babies biophysical profiles and doppler scans today and once again had the talk of what might happen and the chances baby b might not make it through this. She left us with encouragement and answered many of our questions but still we were feeling alot of of what if's and who know's. Afterwards, the nurse hooked me up to the nonstress test before i went down but all of the babies were so active that we couldn't keep them all on the monitor for the 20 minutes. However, I am glad to see them so active because that means they are reactive which is a very good sign. So we headed down for the tests by ultrasound and of course Baby C did his test in a matter of seconds, I do believe he is a bit of a showoff. Baby A was being a little lazy but did hers pretty quickly as well. Baby B had the hiccups (which is a good sign b/c it shows she is trying to practice breathing) and she was wiggling all of the place. As you may recall from previous posts baby b was always in the perfect position for pictures b/c she didn't move alot so the fact that she is doing this now is great news. As soon as she settled for a moment she too quickly passed the test...Praise God...they all passed perfectly! Her doppler is still showing absent blood flow but that is okay b/c at least she is getting something, showing signs of improvement and remaining stable.

The doctor came in to visit us late this afternoon to talk about the results and you could just see the excitement written all over her face. She was very happy with the results of the tests minus the doppler and even commented that the ultrasound tech said how active baby b was which was a wonderful sign.

I have a renewed spirit and does God answer our prayers. I just pray that she can start to have better blood flow to help her even more.

Warsaw baby shower:

Thank you so much to all who attended the baby shower for me held last Sunday even though I wasn't able to be in attendance. You have no idea how much it meant to me to see everyone enjoying themselves and rejoicing in these little miracles from God. I have enjoyed watching the video, seeing the pictures, and the cards and gifts from everyone. We are so overwhelmed by every one's generosity and are extremely blessed to have each and everyone of you in our lives. We feel so blessed that our babies will soon be born into such a loving arms!

Thank you for all of your prayers and please continue to pray for the babies but send a extra special prayer up for Baby B!
