A Sigh of Relief

We had a welcome bit of good news today at the fertility doctor. Both babies are fine, are almost the exact same size (unusual for twins, even this early) and they have excellent placentas, amnion, etc. The problems we've been experiencing are because one of the babies and its placenta are very near the cervix (or, as we say, "downtown", as the other is high in the uterus, or, "uptown"). The bleeding has been due to the placenta growing (and growing well) so near the cervix and is technically an early case of placenta previa. The doctor says that with time the placenta will likely move up and away from the cervix, and there will be no more problems.

They took a lot of pictures today but didn't give us any copies. We can tell you that the twins are ~1.5 cm long now (just over half an inch) and looking good. We appreciate all the prayers and ask that you continue to remember the babies for the next 30 weeks or so.
