THE GIRLS ARE BOTH HOME!

Okie dokie! So, to update you all on the girls. Emma came home from yesterday (December 27th) from the NICU and Mya came home today (December 28th). Emma is just over 5lb and Mya is about 4lb 9oz. Well, that's about it for now.

I was released from the hospital last tuesday (December 16th). The girls are in the NICU, but doing well. Since the day I have been released my mom takes me in the morning to see the girls, feed them and tend to their cares needed. I then go back again to the hospital at night with Brandon after he gets off of work to do the same things.

They have been breathing on their own very well since they were born. They had a slight cause of Jaundice but it is gone. They are both gaining weight and are starting to nurse and take bottles. So they should be off of their feeding tubes soon. As soon as they are eating well on their own without the feeding tube then they should be able to come home to us.

THE BABIES ARE HERE !!!!

The Cesarean Section Is Scheduled!

So... The latest on this pregnancy. I went to my OBGYN today. As it has been lately I have high protein and high blood pressure. I have gained alot of more weight in the last two weeks since they last weighed me. I am measuring at 37 cm. As far as my OBGYN can tell the babies are doing well but she's still concerned about me. So I am still going to do my non-stress tests as usual. That'll be tomorrow, friday, and last on next monday (Dec. 9th, 12th, and 15th). Also unless anything else changes I will see her again next also next monday (Dec. 15th).

The good news is... My OBGYN set a date for my C-Section!!! It is scheduled for after 5:00pm on December 17th. So that is the day the twins are scheduled to be born, unless during my next couple non-stress test something changes to make them take the girls earlier then December 17th.

So for us there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'll continue to keep you all up to date if anything changes. Otherwise it might be after the girls are here that we might talk again. xoxo

UPDATE Once again...

So when I was hoping to find out two days ago (Monday, Dec. 1st) to see when I was going to have my c-section scheduled we didn't get to find out. I went in for my normal non-stress test and everything is good with the girls. I had high protein and my blood pressure was high. So we then went to my scheduled ultra sound and the girls looked great there to! Baby A was 3lb 13oz Baby B was 4lb 7oz and look healthy.

Well since my blood pressure was high and same with my protein that concerned the MD at the ultra sound clinic. He called my MD, which I was going to go see after this appointment anyway, and they wanted me to check into labor and delivery to run some tests. Depending on the test results they were going to take the babies that day.

Long story short. The tests came back fine and the babies are still inside me. Next is my appointment to see the MD on Monday Dec. 8th and go from there. Hopefully she'll give me a date for the c-section at that time.
