This was a good visit. No picture this time. I
decided I can't really ask for a picture each time, that would be a little
much. But we have a big "measurements" visit coming up soon, and I'll ask
for more images then!
These kids are active. Maureen is not feeling them yet, but they
are moving their arms and legs, and rolling and turning.
It is quite amazing when you watch the monitor and see both babies,
with their hearts beating. For the first time this pregnancy, the doctor
zeroed in on the hearts and we heard the beating for the first time. It
is still too early to hear the beating using a microphone from outside,
but that should come soon.
I will always remember hearing Laura's heartbeat, like a little
galloping horse. We looked forward to each visit and hearing her small
heart beating away.
I don't know how easy it will be to find and listen to two heartbeats,
but I am looking forward to it.
As I write this, we are now past 16 weeks. All is well. Maureen is
feeling nauseous, but we are taking that as a good sign. She goes to clear
her throat, and ends up getting sick! Not good, but a sure sign of the
hormones raging in her system, and that is good.
The Heparin shots are still being taken every morning and evening,
and we seem to be sharing more equally the giving of the shots. Stopping
the aspirin has seemed to help reduce the bruising, and it doesn't look
as if she has "fallen down the stairs"! Now, it only looks like she's been
to the "driving range" and been hit by a few golf balls! That is improvement! |
