Another day another doctor

So we had an ultrasound yesterday and a checkup with the delivering OBGYN today. The ultrasound noted that the fluid around Lorelei is lower than last week, but not enough to panic. We will be seen back next Monday for another ultrasound to continue checking the fluids. The OBGYN went fine, and she saw no amniotic fluid in the swab (which is good). We will also be seen by them each week until they feel confident I'm not leaking from Lorelei's sack.

Lorelei and Maddison are still in separate sacks. The amniotic fluid could possibly be coming from either sack, and the only way to tell is to insert blue die into the fluid with a needle and check a few hours later. Now if we chose to do that we would risk infection and rupturing the membrane even further. Because the leak does not seem to be significant enough for a week to pass by we are choosing to bypass that option and stick with "playing it by ear".

My parents and brother came out to visit for Christmas and my birthday which was very nice! They left last night and got back home to NJ this morning. We were visited by my cousin and her family while they were in the state visiting her husbands family. It's been a very busy week! And still more family fun to come. We're so happy to have so many family and friends to care and help out where they can. We will continue to have updates and hope and pray for an uneventful full term pregnancy!
