    This is a little late but, My girls were born on Sept 17 weighing 4lbs and 4lbs 1 oz.
    They were 32weeks and 1 day so they went straight to the NICU which is currently where they still are. They both have done very well only Lucy who was twin B needed oxygen and then it was only for 2 days. They are both considered growers/feeders now.
    My water broke at about 4am that morning so we hurried down to the hospital which is 1hr away. I was hoping that they would try to stop labor to keep them in a little longer but no go <_< they don't stop labor unless it's before 32wks :rolleyes: . So they were born via c-section at 8:24/25am due to Lucy being breech.
    This was my first section and it wasn't too bad, the worst part was that they didn't let me see them in the OR they whisked them off to the NICU without even a look at them :sorry:. I didn't get to see them til my DH wheeled me up there that night but I was too sick to even touch them.
    We are not sure when they will come home but hopefully it will be soon cause the drive 1hr each way and the fact that they aren't home is driving me batty :crazy: .

    Congratulations Momma! I hope your girls stay in the NICU won't be much longer. I'm not sure if you know but we do have a NICU forum with plenty of Mommas to help you out.

    Congrats on healthy babies!!!! I hope their NICU stay is short and uneventful!!!! The NICU is a rollercoaster, take care of yourself and don't feel guilty about getting some stuff done at home to prepare for them coming home while they are in there!
