Hello everyone.
Just wanted to give a brief update as to how we were doing and what we learned at my appointments on Tuesday. First of all, thanks again for the prayers, visits, calls and food you have provided to us. We so appreciate it.
I would say we are doing the best we can. The business of life doesn't really stop for loss, so Mark finds himself in the unfortunate position of being quite busy at work. I have decided not to return to work for the remainder of my pregnancy, as our situation is too uncertain and not fair to my clients. Mark and I are taking advantage of each other and our faith upon which to lean and enjoying the support of our friends and family to let us vent at times and other times distract us as well.
Some have asked us about a service for Will. We have decided to wait and see how things progress with my pregnancy before making any concrete plans or decisions. We hope to honor Will's life in a service at some point, just not right now.
I had promising appointments with the Perinatology Center at St. John's for a detailed ultrasound and at my actual perinatologist's office for a visit. Abby looks good and is growing well at 2 lbs 2 oz. Her heart looks strong, and she seems to be showing no signs of stress due to Will's death. They will be monitoring me for a rare blood clotting issue that sometimes occurs in these circumstances as well as Abby's growth and health with weekly appointments. They still cannot tell us what happened to Will, but that it is very rare for babies to die in utero so late in pregnancy.
We are told that Abby's greatest risk for pre-term delivery or other complications is in the month after losing her twin. We have made it 10 days, and are taking things one day at a time, hoping I can make it as far as possible with her. I have been taken off strict bedrest but am still on a modified rest program with limited activity.
Please continue to pray for us and especially for Abby that she is a strong little girl, able to come into this world a healthy baby despite all the challenges she faces.
God Bless,
Eve

Oh, Eve. ****HUGE sigh*** Know that I have praying for you all through this pregnancy and especially after learning that your little Will died. I am so sorry your sweet boy died and that now you and Mark are faced with such deep concern for little Abby. I am glad you have decided to have a service for Will and I think your decision to wait is a wise one. That closure is important for you all. Know that you are loved and that it pains me that I am 4 hours away and can not help in any way. I will keep praying, my sweet friend.
