Back from the Dr.

I had my Dr appt on Thursday and I was actually able to let Helen stay at a Joanne's for the appt so I didn't have to wrangle her by myself while trying to talk to the Dr.(Austin just couldn't get the time off for this one but that is ok.)

Ok so now we have found out the reasoning behind the difference in size. The smaller one (twin b) has a higher blood pressure rate in his cord compared to his brother. That means that there is a tiny amount of resistance and less blood is getting from the placenta to him. Now, this is not enough to worry about but we do need to watch to make sure this does not get out of hand. Twin b is showing that he is growing well and he looks great from the scan.

We are going to have a scan again in one month to check sizes and make sure all is well again. The Dr mentioned that resting often will help increase blood flow to the babies and so that is my assignment. I need to try to rest for one hour during the day and then try to get a good night's sleep each night. If I can not sleep, resting on my side is just as effective.

Well Helen is just getting over a bit of the stomach bug but is starting to feel better. Here are some recent pics. She got a new handmade sweater from her "Mo and also a new quilt (Thank you!!).
