Week 20: Clarie & Chloe



Baby Claire


My two sweet baby girls! What miracles they both are! 

Baby Chloe



These ultrasounds were taking at week 20. I am so thankful to tell you all that these precious little ones are doing amazingly.  This is an explanation from Wikipedia on the type of Twin's Chloe and Claire are:

 "Monochorionic twins share the same placenta.

Monochorionic twins generally have two amniotic sacs (called Monochorionic-Diamniotic "MoDi"), which occurs in 60–70% of the pregnancies with monozygotic twins.^{[31]  "}

"my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body." Psalm 139:15-16



"Monozygotic twins who share a placenta can develop twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. This condition means that blood from one twin is being diverted into the other twin. One twin, the 'donor' twin, is small and anemic, the other, the 'recipient' twin, is large and polycythemic. The lives of both twins are endangered by this condition." [ Taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on twins]

So as you read, there can be some complications with Chloe and Claire sharing a placenta, but so far there has been no sign of Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome. Praising God for that! I get so nervous when I go in to see the specialist for my ultrasounds. But God has been faithful and proves my fears wrong each and every time. He is in control over those little ones and He is taking care of them. :)  It is such a mircale every time I see them on the big screen, both of them moving around like crazy. At times it looks like they are even sucking on their fingers. I can't believe all the tiny little things that have to grow perfectly for them to live and move and breathe.

 " You hem me in behind and before, you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain." Psalm 139: 5-6
