Once again our visit went very well. All the babies seem to be developing very well at this time, as well as their momma. The doctor cleared us for our trip to Phoenix, so we are very grateful for that. Between work, doctor appointments, physical therapy for my back, taking care of Liv, and all the other day-to-day things that life brings Adam and I could really use a little R&R.
So while things are looking good Dr. Hess did say that between now and 20 weeks they will be carefully monitoring the girls at each appointment. Apparently, that is when twin to twin transfusion is most noticeable. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, twin 
to twin transfusion can occur when two babies share the same placenta. Basically, when this happens one of the babies ends up getting more of the nutrients from the placenta then the other baby. Which will leave one baby healthy and the other one in not so good of situation. But, like I said before, so far so good, and they seem to be sharing very well for the time being. Let's just all pray that they will continue to share at least for the next five months, and if I'm lucky the next 18 years!

Again they took a ton of pictures and even did some in 3D. I don't think I will be posting the 
3D ones though because the babies are so tiny yet and I don't want to scare anyone. In those pictures you can see them like they are right there in the flesh. Once they get some meat on them I will show those. The ultrasound tech was able to get a good profile of the Baby B (the boy) and Baby A, but Baby C kept turning so you just get a side view. Otherwise I have a ton of body part pictures too if anyone is interested.

They are growing so fast and already look so cramped. I can't imagine how they are all going to fit in there! When I told my mom that she reminded me that I too will be growing with them. Growing out that is!
