A prayer for you has reached Israel and will be in Jerusalem at the Western wall soon :)
That is a frustrating balancing act :( I'm sending so many prayers your way!! Please let me know if you need anything at all. My husband went to services this morning and you are on the prayer list and I will also be putting a prayer in to my friend who will take it to the Western Wall in Israel which is to be said to be a holy place where g-d never leaves. It's a Jewish tradition that if you have a prayer that is very important that is what we do. Both Jews and non Jews come to the Western Wall in Jeurusalem to put prayers in the wall. When we had our prayer put in their to have a baby it worked and same when my father lost his job and he had no job prospects (he was 3yrs from retirement) but within 2 days of the prayer being put in, he had a job offer from a top law firm for his dream job! Hopefully you will also have good luck and have your prayer answered :)
Aww. So many things going on! Still in my prayers.
This must be hard for you.... I really hope that everything goes well.... I pray that they can hold off for a couple weeks. I hope that you are doing alright it must be very stressful for you
We tried to take some tests this morning (Friday) including an amnio but it was a no go. Apparently there wasnt much fluid in Baby A's sac which was a concern as well. The doctor asked if I was leaking and I said No not that I know of. She then decided to hold off on testing for the day because if she stuck a needle in my belly that the membrane that seperates the babies might attract to it and she might break/poke the membrane. If that happened I guess it would put me into labor. So they decided to wait until tomorrow morning to continue with testing in hopes that the low fluid was just because of the way she was laying in there. We had another u/s yesterday and they werent too impressed. Said that the cord is still blocked and will more than likely have to take them anywhere between the next 1-4 weeks. They just dont want to jump in and take them now to save Baby A if taking them early is going to compromise the health of Baby B. So we now wait and see what they decide to do. I will let you ladies know how the testing goes as soon as I can get back online. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers xx
Aww. i just read this. I'll say my prayers for you. and YES at least we know if the babys are born around 30 weeks they should be ok and healthy. :) Im sorry if youre feeling stressed out, I know anything that worrys you about baby is terrible to go through. God will take care of your little angels :)
Just checking in to see how you are doing. Every day counts at this point. Keep resting, and I am with you. I think I would rather be there in the hospital then at home worrying all the time. Still praying for you!
I'm going to send you a care package tomorrow addressed to you so if your hubby can bring it to you at the hospital it will have your fav snacks and some other goodies to keep your sanity while you are there :). You are right, at least you are at the perfect place as much as hospitals are no fun they can watch babies very closely. I look forward to hearing updates from you and you your husband and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers.
Good luck tomorrow with the testing.
Me too. But as much as i'd feel more comfortable in my own home I know the best place for me to be is right here in the hospital. I honestly dont think I would know if anything went wrong. Atleast here they are monitoring the girls very closely in case her cord blockage gets worse or doesnt get better. I just worry about their health and safety which i sure all of us have in common about our babies. I never thought that I was going to have any complications because my pregnancy has been picture perfect so far but you never know! Will let you know how the testing goes tomorrow.
I hope you are able to break out of jail on Sat!! :)
Thanks ladies!! Your kind words really do help me get through this. I am happy to hear that babies are born sooner than 30 weeks and make it fine. I was just worried I guess because the books that I have read say that if they are born premature like this then they will have developemental issues when they get older. Either way as long as they are healthy is all I care about. They have me hooked up to a bunch of monitors and an IV and it's hard to get sleep around here but I have gotten lots of rest watching tv and such. THey have ran a ton of tests and have had 2 u/s so far since yesterday. Sounds like the next test they want to perform is an amniocenthesis which is a big long needle that they poke in my belly to retrieve some fluid from Baby B's sac. It's something I originally opted out against but they are really pushing it here. If everything goes well in the next few days I may be able to get outta here on Saturday but we will see. I will keep you ladies posted when I find out the results.
Keeping you and those babies in my prayers. Try to update us when you can!
We are all thinking of you :) Please keep us informed
Good luck and prayers to ya'll! (yep im from texas lol)
So many prayers coming your way!
