Nothing but GOOD news and more GOOD news!!!

We went and had out ultrasound on Friday and I must admit I was really nervous about what we were going to see. The first thing the ultra sound lady wanted to do was measure the amount of fluid around the smaller baby. He had zero around him before the surgery and on Friday he had 4.96cm...we were amazed! Rikk had to pull his chair closer to the ultra sound to get a better look and to believe what he was seeing. The smaller baby's bladder was there and the right size, before it wasn't there. She did a few measurements on him and then went to the bigger baby. The bigger baby went from 9cm of fluid to 5.26cm which is great. His bladder is now the right size and his kidneys are almost there too. We were so HAPPY with everything. The doctor came in and took a look and was really impressed with what he saw. He said he wanted to go and crunch some numbers. He was sure that the smaller baby was going to be really anemic and wanted to go look at the numbers.

We waited for the doctor in the conference room which is never fun because it's a HUGE room and just Rikk and I and it just feels like the "bad news" room. The doctor came in and said he was just amazed. All the numbers he crunched for different things came out perfect. The smaller baby is right on target, right where he should be for his gestational age!!! AND he wasn't even close to being anemic which just blew the doctor's mind! Rikk and I knew why the two guys were doing so well though!

The doctor called the doctors down in San Francisco to tell them how everything went. Those doctors were just as amazed as well. They told our doctor in Seattle to send us home...yes, they said to send us home!!! They want us to have an ultra sound every week down in Anchorage with the doctor we have already seen. They said that unless the Anchorage doctor finds reason to keep me in Anchorage or to send us back to Seattle, they all hope to NEVER see us again.

We got home to our three beautiful boys last night and were just as excited to see them as they were us. We played for a few hours and then it was bedtime. Hunter couldn't get to sleep...we think that he was afraid we wouldn't be there when he woke up. But my parents, sister and brother-in-law did such a great job with the kids and we REALLY appreciate it. I am supposed to take things easy, do things lightly. Rikk is still acting like I am on 100% bed rest which has been nice. We are thinking better safe than sorry.

But we are home and happy our little family is back together again. Hopefully the next "exciting" news we will have to share about the twins will be their birth...which will hopefully be another few months! Thank you all again for your thoughts, prayers, fasting, putting our names in the temple, everything...we REALLY appreciate it.
