Well, we had our ultrasound today...

Well, we had our ultrasound today. I was a little disappointed with the fact that we waited an hour before we even got to go in. Once the dr. came in all he said was the babies looked good. Now although that is good news, I'm used to the specialist going into detail and giving us a good report.

So I had to start asking questions. I didn't necessarily get the confident responses I wanted but it seems good.

I asked if Emma had hydrops. He said from what I saw on the screen I didn't see any. He said I don't think so but maybe there is a little there. So you can decide what that means.
I asked if the fluid levels were o.k. He said they were 3 and 8. Hummm, I think that is good. They are both in normal range.
We asked about her heart. He said it was pumping better.
Then he said that Emma wouldn't catch up to Olivia because of the non-selective procedure they had to do. Mike and I were told in Cinci, that they didn't have to do non-selective and they were telling us that was great that they only did selective. So I don't really know what page we are on here.

Emma is 14 oz. Olivia is 1 lb. 5 oz. So they are both growing.

My opinion and interpretation is this.....Emma is showing no signs of hydrops or very little so her heart must be getting better. I don't know if they will be able to tell us when it has completely healed because I don't have a lot of confidence after today. They are both growing which is great!! I think Emma has a good chance of catching up. I can feel them both as active as if they were playing basketball so I feel good about their progress.

So not a lot of info. but no bad info. so I guess we'll take it.

My blood pressure was high when I first went in. It did lower after I laid down. He said that eventually I will be in the hospital on full bedrest with monitering because of my blood pressure but could not tell me when. So....I'm definitely not looking forward to that. But the more I lay down, the lower my blood pressure should be.

So hopefully my next report will be better and more confident.

Thanks to all!
Love you all!!
