wk 15...prayers please!!!





It's been sometime since we have blogged on here..We are already 15wks into our pregnancy..Lisa is feeling great, starting to show more, wearing maternity pants and shirts..lol..at the large 119lbs..ugh!!the babies are the size of apples this week and 4 inches long each..We did get some scary news this week and would ask for continued prayers..

Baby reading has actually not been so good lately..Tuesday when we got home from my knee surgery, JJ received a message from Lisa that the highrisk dr had called and some results on Baby A came back as high risk. Neural Tubal Defect/heart condition..so all my researching has gone to that..and at times I slam the computer closed and try not to think about.. When Lisa went for her 12wk high risk appointment for level 1 measurements the dr came in and gave a thumbs up..then once the blood results came back and measured with the fluid on the back of baby A's neck we lost the thumbs up...Baby A, might have a heart condition but we will not know more until week 21...the high risk dr in VA would like to do fetal echo-cardiogram sooner but they do believe waiting until closer to 22 wks we will have a clearer picture of the entire heart and all areas they need to look at.. Lisa is coming home the weekend of March 27th..I made her level 2 ultrasound and fetal echo-cardiogram for that Monday the 29th...so we sit and wait until then to see what is going on..and then hopefully can find out the sexes that day as well.. The nurse in VA told us to look up info on the March of Dimes website and that was not a good idea at all..to much negative info...Lisa went to her reg obgyn on Thursday, Feb 11th.. just for a routine appointment for urine, heartbeats, weight..etc...all was good there..but the dr again said we just need to sit and wait until the fetal echo-cardiogram to see what is going on..Dr. Viscarello has all our info here in Stamford..he is our highrisk dr..We are very confident in him, so will will just wait and see..

Baby B is doing great, no issues at all. Both babies are continuing to meet developmental stages of growth each week..Lisa has been amazing through this journey and continues to hold our twins very close to her heart and take the best care of them..She tells us they are letting her know when they are hungry now...I told her good..maybe she will hit 120lbs in this pregnancy..lol..eat! eat!

Anymore results we will keep you all updated..thanks again for all the support and prayers..
