Allison has been home for a week now.  The long Labor Day weekend couldn’t have come at a better time.  We enjoyed lots of down time together which was what we needed.  We continue to grieve the loss of Olivia and are finding our relationship deepen as we support each other through this process.  As you can imagine we both are dealing with the loss differently.  It’s comforting to us to know what the Bible says about Jesus’ love for children.  We find peace knowing she is with him.

We’ve had two doctor appointments this week.  The first, on Tuesday, was with our lead MFM (maternal fetal medicine) doctor.  We had ultrasounds/Doppler’s done on both girls and the results were both in the normal range.  Praise God.  We will be in weekly for ultrasounds/Doppler’s and every other week the ultrasounds will focus on the growth of the babies.  The second appointment was today and was a check up on Allison.  Everything checked out great.  She will be in every 3-4 weeks for this type of appointment.  We’re fortunate our home is only 15 minutes from the hospital.  We hit 26 weeks this Wednesday.  We’ve been told that the rest of the pregnancy should proceed like a normal twin pregnancy. As I sit here typing,  I realize that I’m thankful for how little I have to say medically this week and it’s all good news!  God is good!
