BOYS ARE HERE! Just a little late :)

WOW!

I haven't updated this blog in MONTHS!

Wonder why? Well the boys are here!!!! Here I was at 36 weeks getting my NST and 2 days later they made their entrance into the world!!!

Saturday morning- January 26th I woke up, had some toast and eggs and noticed something strange... I wasn't sure if it was a hormone fluid or what. I figured I'd call the doctor and ask what they thought. Based on what I saw on the net it was for sure labor about to happen.  I was due to go to the doc about 10am, but at this point it was 8- they said for me to come in right away.

In I went for more NST, Ultrasounds, and a full exam! All calm- the doctor then brought me into his office and said 'Okay today is the day.'  Take your time, drive over to the hospital and get prepped for your C section. Stop Eating, Stop Drinking.  We will meet you there in about an hour.

I got to the hospital and the nurses told me I was 5 cm dilated and now I could feel contractions. I was given pain meds as I had to wait on 2 emergency C sections- then it was my turn to go.

I'd say the worst part was getting the Spinal in my back. I mean how does one this big bend forward so they can get my numb with that needle?!?! haha!!!

Brett Ryan was born at 2:02PM and Brock Caden at 2:03- Brett 5lbs 15oz & Brock 6lbs 6 oz both 18.5 in!

Healing was quite a journey!!! The boys stayed in the NICU for a bit to learn how to eat and gain some weight.

Today they are home with me and 4 months old already! Can you believe how fast that went?!??!

I'll try to update more :)

In the meantime I'm working on my FITNESS! haha Must get my pre-baby body BACK!

The END is NEAR!

Hey Everyone!!!

Today is 35W3D so we are on the road to 36weeks which is HUGE for a twin pregnancy!

They are both 5.5 lbs and doing great! I found that Brett- baby B who is Breech is basically sitting in between my legs!!! My stomach is hanging so low... all I can say is YUCK to the clean up on that stretchy skin!

They have been doing great in their biophysical's moving really well and scoring 8/8.

A biophysical is testing the fluid they are in- making sure there is plenty (no wonder they're so heavy!!!) and the umbilical cord as well as checking heart rate. It tests that they're moving well while baking.

Unfortunately my blood pressure has raised as of this past week, and it was expected to happen so what that means is the END IS NEAR!

I ended up getting mild toxemia and pre-eclampsia which is totally normal for twin pregnancies at the end. It's being monitored - in other words I now go to the doc EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

In fact I was at the hospital this morning because their office is closed on Sundays! It was a long morning but they got the doctor to schedule my C section and get all my pre-op work set up!

I learned everything there is to about the C section so I'm very ready to meet the boys now :)

The original scheduled date was Feb 7 but now is January 31st! I will be 37 weeks! As long as my BP stays stable then the twins will stay baking until then! This is to avoid them going into the NICU. 

Of course you never know until the twins are born but the longer they bake in me the better chances I have of taking them home with me :) 

The Nursery is just about done. I'm finishing up a couple last minute things and can always add more later! My hospital bag is packed, the twins bag is packed, the cameras are ready and I think the whole world is excited to meet them !

Here's to a healthy and safe delivery and sanity as we bring them home :)
