So far...

We're almost finished. We spent a little over two hours in ultrasound this morning, 45 minutes per baby with the technician and then about 20 minutes with the doctor. Then we had a little lunch downstairs in the cafeteria before our work with the fetal cardiologist who did echocardiograms on both babies. All that's left is our consultation with the team of doctors who is now (I presume) looking at the information from all the goop work. What have we learned so far? The two babies have increased in size discrepancy, though only slightly. But the word from the cardiologist just a few moments ago is that it's "not terrible." We also know that they are the same sex - but do not know which one that might be. Yes, we're still trying to keep that a surprise. So now we wait for the assessment and hope for a course of treatment. In the meantime, Martha Stewart is cooking something up on the tv behind us and I'm trying to think about a sermon for the week. And we have a fresh dent and scrape on the passenger side of the car, courtesy of getting too close to a vertical support in the parking garage this morning. Welcome to Philadelphia. More to come...
