girls are NOT identical!

We just got the DNA test results back and the peri confirmed they are fraternal, so my last big scare is over and I feel like I can really enjoy the little bubblers. I was scared because, on the early u/s's, Sleepy looked shrinkwrapped and Twitchy seemed to be like a dry leaf in the wind in an enormous sac, but now Sleepy is weighing more than Twitchy and equally active and both have plenty of fluid in their sacs. Sleepy even showed her face on the u/s and was cute!, so even though the placentas are adjacent and probably fused, I know they will be safe from TTTS. Now if only I don't squish them on those rare occasions when I actually fall asleep! Thanks to everyone for their support during the long weeks of waiting to find out what was going on.

I love your nicknames for the babies!

So glad to hear that you can rest assured about the TTTS. What a relief!

Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well! Keep us updated on those two little ones!!!!

 

That must put your mind at ease. I love the nicknames.
Best of everything to you.


Hugs,
Beth

 

the nicknames are adorable.

 

I too love the nicknames! Glad to hear you got great results! Thanks for the update!

 

That's great. I'm glad you have that peace of mind now.

 

Thanks so much for your support! I don't know what I would do without this board; probably drive my family, friends and coworkers even crazier than I do already.

 

That's great news. I hope the remainder of your pregnancy is stress free!
