It was a huge surprise and a little dramatic but in the end perfection!
Last Tuesday, 9/10, I was admitted to the hospital for what they thought was preeclampsia. Turned out it wasn't preeclampsia, it was a few other medical issues coupled together that were making me very sick. Thankfully the twins were phenomenal and completely not effected.
On Sunday night I was still in the hospital because I was still really sick. I has been having severe muscle spasms in my back all day to the point that I needed pain meds. At around 12:15 am (monday) I took a hot shower to try to help alleviate some of the back pain. When I got out of the shower I went to go sit in the chair and wait for the nurse. Next thing I knew my legs and the floor were drenched! I yelled for my nurse and all caos broke out right there!
At 1:56 am on Monday Christina Anne and Stephen John III were born via c-section at 33 weeks 1 day!!! Christina was 3 lbs 4 oz 14 inches long and Stephen was 3 lbs 7 oz 16 inches long.
Both babies are doing AMAZING!! Stephen needed a day on the C-Pap machine and Christina needed a day on oxygen and that's it! No NICU needed, Hooray!!!
The babies are perfect!!

    No NICU despite the need for CPap and O2? That doesn't sound right. At any rate, congrats.

    Congrats!  What little peanuts.  I am also curious about the no NICU, does that mean they are in the special care nursery?  Anyway I hope they continue doing well and come home soon.

    My twins are in a special care nursery at our hospital that has a full time neonatologist and two special care nurses. There was no need to send them to a hospital with a NICU bc they needed less then 24 hours each of oxygen or c-pap and neither of those need a full NICU. Last Tuesday and Wednesday I had the steroid shots to help with their lungs also just in case I delivered early.
    They are both very healthy, feeding from bottles already and doing amazingly.

    Well, sorry to burst your bubble but it is correct. I truly don't appreciate your sarcastic undertone to my post. Who would lie about something like this and why would I write it if it wasn't true. I just went through a lot and don't need your attitude. If you have nothing nice to say then don't comment on my post

    We have had quite a few fakers here and on the preemie board, so unfortunately people DO lie about it quite frequently. I apologize for how my tone came off, I did say congratulations and I meant them. I hope your kiddos continue to thrive and get to come home soon!

    Ah, I just consider NICU and SCN to be the same, but not everyone does. That's great they don't need the higher level care! I think mine were in the real NICU for a few days, and then the SCN for the rest of the time. Our hospital called them both NICUs, even though one was a lower level.
