36 wks and 2 days later.......

Friday night at 11:30 pm I thought my water broke, but it was a super slow trickle. I messed around for over an hour packing my bag, dh and I both showering and finally decided it either was my water or something bad was leaking, so we called MIL to come watch the kids and we headed to the ER.

The hooked me to the monitor's, and did the test strip 3 times and couldn't tell for sure if it was my water or not. (I was sure it was by this point, even smelled like amniotic fluid does...my water broke with both my other kids, I knew what it smelled like). Called my dr in at 3:30, I was contracting more than I realized, varying from 1-8 minutes, some were hard and some weren't. He said "Let's have some babies".

Saturday Feb 21st, 2009:
5:32 am Liam Carl was born, 6 lbs 4 oz and 19 in long. He wasn't crying too much so they were trying to piss him off.
5:33 am Rylee Ann was born, 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 in long. She wasn't crying much either but was pinking up great.

They warned me ahead of time they'd probably take both babies to the newborn nursery to transition them, but Liam had to head to the NICU so Rylee got to come with me to recovery.

Liam spent a few hours in the NICU on slight oxygen but was off by 7:30am. His sugar was a little low but was good by noon and he was brought to our room then. Rylee came straight with us.

C/S went went well, the babies did/doing great, and we came home on monday. 2 days in the hospital was enough. Liam's nursing is a little slow so we were supplementing with formula but since my milk has come in, I have been a nursing machine today, trying to get his stamina built up (he falls alseep nursing), and his sucking strengthened. Rylee was nicknamed "The Hoover" cause she's a sucking machine!!

We take them tomorrow for a quick check at their pedi, since we asked for early release from the hospital. I am still very sore, they left the staples in because I have so much excess skin from twins, that it's hanging over and creating a "moist" area where my incision is. He didnt think the steri strips would hold on long enough. So I go monday to have the staples removed.

Well must go, rylee is a chunky monkey and I need to go sit in a better spot with her, I'll try to check in when I have a chance! How exciting we are all having our babies now!!!!!!!
