To be perfectly honest I had forgotten about this... Life has taken some unexpected and crazy turns these last few days (or weeks.) This last Tuesday we had an ultrasound (Tuesday June 23rd) and both babies are looking great, (they're going to be girls we discovered!) but we found out one of the twins has been diagnosed with Vasa Previa. What that means essentially is one of the twins' umbilical cord is attached incorrectly on the placenta near the cervix and the blood vessels can be easily torn. If we're not at the hospital and that happens we will lose her. Thankfully they found this out now, and the odds are much better being diagnosed. It can mean Brianna will be hospitalized at 30 weeks, and guarantees a caesarian. As far as I understand it presents no danger to the other twin, but we're still learning all we can. The next ultrasound & appointment is July 7th, and while I've read a as much as I can about it on the internet we still have a lot of questions. We'll pass on more details then, hopefully.
