13 going on 30

30 Weeks!! We're excited to announce that another week has passed! Amy has started to have contractions more often and with greater intensity, but nothing to be alarmed about. Her doctor wants to take a look at the babies' fluid tomorrow with an ultrasound. There has been disparity in the fluid almost from the beginning, but both babies have always had adequate amounts of fluid. The doctor mentioned that in the event that one baby gets too little fluid they will need to deliver both babies. So, depending on the results of tomorrow's ultrasound we could be looking at a delivery in the near future. At this point the long-term complications should hopefully be minimized, but the longer the babies are able to stay the less time they will have to spend at the NICU. We feel like we have been blessed in so many ways through this whole experience and we thank all of you who have helped us.

Here is a picture of Amy with her 30-week diploma. I reassure you that she got into bed shortly after the picture was taken.
Here is the artwork that Amy and her younger sister Lauren have been working on for the past few weeks. Notice how well they stayed inside all the lines. Good job girls.

Congrats on keeping those boys in for so long! It looks like we really will be deliverying around the same time. And honestly you look great for being a hospital captive for so long.
