Well, we learned today that there are still two babies, but while one is a healthy, alive 12-week-old, the other apparently lived only a few days after we originally saw him or her. Today, there was a huge difference in size (like a hundred times. . .) and the smaller baby appears to have died at about 7 weeks. So, while it’s a little sad for us, we really believe that God knows what He’s doing. In all probability, this second child had some form of defect that was incompatible with life, and we’re so thankful to God for our sakes that we found out now and not months down the road. Secondly, we’re very grateful that we had two babies to begin with — we would have miscarried at 7 weeks — now we still have one child to look forward to anxiously.
So, this is the end of our two-month ordeal of mixed emotions, and I for one am quite thankful to have clarity — I had felt in my heart for several weeks that this was a huge possibility, and it’s a relief to know for sure one way or the other.
Thanks for your prayers.
Hey…I was so sorry to hear about you losing one of the babies! You have a good way to look at it though and I’ll keep praying that things go good with the living one and that you’ll have a healthy baby!
