I haven't posted in a while because a lot has happened in the last 2 1/2 weeks. As you all have read on 12/17 I was diagnosed with TTTS. Well the following day 12/18 I had a large gush of fluid come out around 800am, I wasn't sure what it was and thought that I just lost all control of my bladder. I explained to Shauna what had happened and she wanted me to go to L & D to make sure that my water didn't break. I told her no its to soon but agreed to go to the hospital just to make sure. She was suppose to work but met me at the hospital, well thank goodness she did. We couldn't find one babies heartbeat like always so they called an ultrasound tech in to find it. She looked around for about 5 min and was very silent, I knew something was wrong. I saw her look at the nurse and shake her head no, and I just began to cry and cry. Myself, Shauna, and Angela all knew what that meant. We had lost one of our precious babies. Our Angel Baby is Evan Michael and Our Miracle Baby is Ethan Glenn. It was the most horrible news I have ever heard in my entire life. The Dr. came in and explained that because they shared the same placenta that we would need to deliver the other baby as soon as possible. He wanted me to get some steroid shots in before Ethan was born, so we had a scheduled c-section date for the next day 12/19/07 at 930am. That night was the longest and most scariest night in the world, we had to continue to watch little Ethan and make sure his heart rate was reading good because if not we would have to have an emergency c-section. The next morning, me and Shauna went into the OR and our little boys were born. Evan Michael at 1017am 1lb 11oz, 12 3/4 in, Ethan Glenn at 1019am 1lb 15.7oz 13 1/2 in. Ethan was rushed to the NICU and I was sent over to recovery. I have never been so happy and so sad at the same time in my entire life.
