Update on Jessica's ultrasound

Danalana wrote: I just got off the phone with her, so I'm updating you.
If you remember, one of the twins had a weak heartbeat when she had the last ultrasound (or maybe it was the last doppler). Today, they didn't find the second twin, so s/he was reabsorbed. They could find out for sure what happened if they examine the placenta, but Jessica doesn't want to know right now. Their theory is that the heart didn't develop correctly and wasn't strong enough. Jessica will let you know the sex as soon as she feels up to posting in a day or 2. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
The good news is that the remaining baby is VERY strong and looks great.

luvbug00 replied: Poor Jess. I know she was soo excited about there being twins. But on the positive I'm glad that the other twin is thriving

Hillbilly Housewife replied: i'm just speechless.

grapfruit replied: Jess, I'm sorry for this bend in the road, but I'm happy the remaining twin is doing good. Remember the silver lining, you're going to get one beautiful baby at the end of all of this.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: I don't even know what to say...I can't believe that this happened again to her !!! That is the saddest thing!

Mommy2BAK replied: Oh my goodness.... again?? That poor family. But atleast one of the babies is really striving. I can't wiat to find out the sex of the one baby though.

lisar replied: I am so sorry.

Danalana replied: And I SO wish I could tell you....but I told her I wouldn't. Gah, it's so hard for me to keep news. That's why everybody within a respectable distance knew I was pregnant right after I found out, while lots of people wait til they hit the 12 week mark But it really is her news to tell, so I know I can do it.

Insanemomof3 replied: Oh gosh. That is sad! I am glad everything is fine with the other baby. Lots of to her!!!

BAC'sMom replied: Sorry Jess
I am glad there is one healthy baby

lovemy2 replied: So sorry to hear Jess - but thank god the remaining twin is healthy and strong

Mommy2Isabella replied: Hey guys.

I will probably be around a lot less over the next couple of days just soaking it in I suppose.

I am THRILLED that our one baby is doing well, however it is sad what happend. She put that wand on my belly and I was so excited, she did the ultrasound and I had a smile on my face the whole time. I am so HAPPY and Sad at the same time. I am determined not to let what happend bring me down, I have a healthy baby that is what is most important to us.

The Dr. said it is optional for me to know what happend at this point I am not sure if I want to know, once I get at peace with the situation I am not sure I want it brought up again you know.

I believe everything happens for a reason and having twins as exciting as it is, it is also TONS of work and a GREAT financial strain. There is a reason why it happend this way and we are okay with it. Thank you guys for your thoughts!!

grapfruit replied: Do we get to know the sex now??

Mommy2Isabella replied: We have having a





















very well endowed BABY BOY

If I had to chose the sex a boy is what I would have choosen
The U.S, tech commented on the size of his member ...

moped replied:
SUPER EXCITING - BOYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy2BAK replied: YAY for a baby boy. Our doc keeps commenting on the "size" of our son too. It's kind of got me freaked out.

lovemy2 replied: Congrats on the baby boy!! That is great - one of each - those boys - they are wonderful but sooo different from the girls

luvbug00 replied: glad your getting the baby boy you wanted.

holley79 replied: Congrats on your healthy happy little boy. I'm sorry for your loss though Jessica.

Bamamom replied: Congrats on the boy Jessica - they really are super fun. I am so sorry to hear about the other baby. Just know that we are here for you.

Calimama replied: I'm so sorry hun!.. Congratulations on your little boy though.

momtoMegan&Alyxandria replied: IT'S A BOY!!!! Congrats on that. So sorry to hear about the other baby.

luvmykids replied: I was just thinking, since they only saw one baby on the u/s in June that maybe there was a mistake when the dr said he heard two heartbeats? I don't know if that is any consolation, but maybe it would be somewhat comforting to think that there was one all along rather than having lost one

jacobsmama replied: I'm very happy the little baby boy is doing awesome, that is great news! Keep your chin up and remember you will always have a part of the other twin with you in your heart. I am a firm believer in things happen for a reason

punkeemunkee'smom replied:
I was wondering about that as well...maybe since they did not see 2 babies... It is easy to mistake the cord tones for a heartbeat or even your heart rate for a babies. As far along as you are and as well developed as a baby is once you have heard their heartbeat,you may take some comfort in the fact that maybe this was just a mistake on the doctor's part,since you haven't had any bleeding or anything that indicates the loss of a baby this far along. I don't know if that would comfort you but VTS usually happens so much earlier in pregnancy and to know that this has actually been a normal heathy single pregnancy from the beginning may bring you some peace!

bawoodsmall replied: I am so sorry for the loss of one of the babies but you have a bouncing baby boy to get ready for. One of each will be great. That is what we have. Just remember boys and girls are totally different. I still have to remind myself that every day. Are you going to tell people the name when you decide?

MotherForever2043 replied: So sorry to hear that, hun JUst know that, God never closes a door without opening another one COngrats on your healthy and strong baby boy. Your family will be in my prayers EVERY night!
