408, 524, & 600

We had another ultrasound yesterday to check on the girls' TTTS and also to do a growth scan of all three babies.  We were very happy to hear that Baby A weighs 408g / 14oz, Baby B weighs 524g / 1lb 2oz and Baby C weighs 600g / 1lb 5oz!  Baby A still doesn't have much fluid, but her heart is still beating strong!

Of course, there was some not so good news.

Baby B's fluid level has risen again.  She was in the normal range (5-6 cm) and is now back to 9cm.  That means that TTTS hasn't gone away.

Also, with Baby A weighing in so much less than Baby B, they're at a 28% discordance which is another sign for TTTS or could simply mean that Baby A is getting less than her half of the placenta.

While these two things aren't good, they aren't that bad and they definitely aren't something we need to act upon right now. The risks of laser surgery or another amniotic fluid reduction aren't worth it right now when we're SO CLOSE to viability, so we continue to sit and wait.  We've made it this far, we have hope and faith for the future!
