    Hi everyone!
    Sarah and Rachael were born on Jan. 28th...at 35 weeks/0 days. I haven't had a second to write anything on here up until now. I went into labor and since I was 35 weeks they decided not to stop me (I had 2 previous C-sections). Thank God they didn't try to stop the contractions because when they did my C-section they found that Baby A had a partially abrupted placenta. Baby B's placenta was fine but was having trouble breathing and almost got sent to Boston. Luckily they both turned around very quickly and did very well.They were in the NICU for 10 days though dealing with issues such as jaundice, temperature, and weight gain. They are now within about 3 oz of their birth weights, but we had to begin supplementing with fortified breastmilk which is putting me over the edge...nursing, pumping, bottles, nursing, pumping, bottles, etc. I am realllllllllllllllllly tired right now and wondering how I'll make it through. I just keep trying to tell myself it's only temporary and that it will get easier. We are very lucky that they are so healthy for premies and that they delivered when they did. That's it in a nutshell. I gotta go...supper needs to be cooked.....
