How many bedrooms do you have?

Yup, that's how the sonographer broke the news of twins to Tom & I. After 2 years of trying to have a baby, many many months of fertility drugs, 1 failed attempt at AI, we were 'overstimmed' and were given the option to do an IVF treatment. Out of 3 - A+ fertilized eggs, the 'expert' chose the best 2 and implanted them. Well, about 2 weeks later, we had a positive pregnancy test. Then, another and another. We finally got to have an ultrasound and it revealed twins. They were perfect and once we got over the shock, we got excited.

My pregnancy was pretty uneventful at first. I was only 29. At my next ultrasound at the OB's office, they noted choroid plexus cysts on Baby B. I was told this was pretty common and they typically disappear. That they mean 'nothing'. However, I was referred to a Perinatologist & they made an appointment for a few weeks away. I tried not to worry. When I had my next u/s (ultrasound) with the Peri, the cysts were indeed gone. They spent a long, long time taking measurements and at the end of the appointment, he said, "He's a keeper!" (with regarding to Baby B). A few weeks later, I was at the OB again for my next U/S and this time, they noted that Baby B had 'a little too much fluid' in his sack. I was told this was no biggie, but just means that I get MORE u/s's. Oh boy. I was sent back to the Peri and they asked me to try altering my diet, etc. They also asked me to quit doing any exercises & stay home as much as possible. Apparently the extra fluid would cause extra weight and pressure, etc. But again, I was told that nothing else was amiss and '..don't worry' and 'the baby is perfect'. Well, I had at least 20 u/s's over the next few months. I also had NST's 1-2 times per week and a contraction monitor at home. Around 34 weeks, I complained that Baby B wasn't moving anymore. I was informed that this is normal - they are out of room. I was right in taht Baby B failed his NST and we had a more in depth U/S and he failed that too. BACK I went to the Peri and they said, "The babies are fine!". At 36 weeks and 3 days, Baby B failed the NST again and again failed the U/S tests. They noted his growth had stopped. They scheduled the C-Section for the next day.
