Birth Story

Hey everyone!! Sorry it has been so long. I was placed on strict bed rest. Therefore, we went and stayed at my MIL's until the babies were born.

Eden and Benjamin were born on November 24th. I was 35weeks 4days, and had been having issues with pre-term labor. Because, baby A was breeched and baby B was transversed, my OBGYN did not want me to go into labor on my own. Therefore, we scheduled the C-section. I had my other two boys via vanganal births, so it was a bit different this time around.

We feel so blessed!!! Eden was 5lbs 14oz. Benjamin was 6lbs 9oz. They both were 19 inches long. They were in the NICU for a couple of hours for observation, but then after that they were in our hospital room with us. They came home with us when I was discharged.

They are such good babies!! I nursed my first two boys, but I was still a bit nervious about nursing twins. I wasn't sure how it was going to work and if I would be able to do it or not. Well, it has been going so well. I started tandom feeding right away in the hospital, and it had work out great. I highly recommend the twin nursing pillow. It has been a godsend. I have them on a three hour schedule and that seems to be working out great. It has been going so much better than I had ever hoped for.

I want to say thanks to all of you that has given me so much advice and support. You all have helped me through my pregnancy and I appreciate it!

COngrats!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats on your new babies. Sounds like everything is going great for you. I wish you guys the best and have a great holiday with your new babies.

 

Congratulations, it's wonderful to hear how well everyone did/is doing!

 

Thanks everyone! I remember being pregnant and reading everybody's baby stories and feeling like I still had so far to go. It is kind of funny though, as soon as I was pregnant with the twins, I sorta forgot how hard it was being pregnant. Once you have those babies in your arms, it all just sorta falls to the way side.

I just wanted to let those of you who wanted to know, breastfeeding is going very well. Eden gained 4oz this week, and Benjamin gained 3oz. They are still not to their birth weight, but the doctor wasn't worry about it. We will have to keep taking them in for weight checks until they do get to their birht weights. I am thinking it will be this week.

Yes, I did take my pillow to the hospital. I am so glad I did. I wanted to have it there so the nurse could help me and teach me how to do a tandum feeding. It has worked out great. I felt a bit silly at first. You have this big pillow warpped around you with two babies at your breast. I have since then become much more comfortable with it.

Once again thanks for all your support!!

 

Congratulations!!! Glad to hear that everything went well. Enjoy this special time, even if you are sleep deprived!

 

congrats what a blessing such healthy babies!
