BFP 2/2020 || EDD 10/10/2020
Born Nov 6, 2017
Iree: 18" long, 6lbs 3oz
Luke: 18" long, 5lbs 5oz
Labor story: 36+1, woke up with contractions at 4am, 5min apart. I monitored at home for a couple hours and called my OB office at 6am. Took a warm shower, as my OB suggested, and the contractions didn't change. Came into L&D about 7am and was monitored for an hour. Cervix change was small (.5 cm), but since I was considered full term with twins, they went ahead and booked the OR. Within a couple hours we were back there getting a c- section (Baby B was breech). Iree was born first at 10:11am, she had slight respiratory issues, so she stayed in the nursery for monitoring for about 6 hours. Luke was born right after at 10:12am and was diagnosed with pneumothorax, and taken straight to NICU. Baby Iree came back from the nursery around 4pm yesterday and has been with me since. Baby Luke is still in NICU and we're praying for swift healing, I haven't even been able to hold him yet. As for me, I'm recovering just fine. The pitocin and uterus "massages" after surgery have been by far the worst part.
Please keep baby Luke in your prayers if that's your thing

Baby girl is still in NICU, but is stable. Looking forward to taking her home soon!
ETA: Baby Evie was discharged on Tuesday, November 14. We're so happy to have her home.
I’ve been lurking more than posting this last tri but I wanted to announce the birth of our rainbow, my daughter Arya Faith. She was 35w6d and weighed 5lbs12oz. I’m struggling with a traumatic birth and csection recovery but I’m head over heels in love with her. She’s graduated from NICU and with the exception of feeding issues, she’s doing great.

We went forward with the C-Section and Claire was born weighing 6lbs, 9oz and 18.5 inches long. I'm pretty sure I was at least a week ahead of what my doctor had set as my due date. Other than some low blood sugar, which was resolved in the hospital, she is healthy and happy and we are in love.
Wishing you all healthy and happy babies and speedy recoveries!
Bragging rights: According to the nurse's station, I hold this week's laps record for c section moms getting up and walking -- all that GD-mandated exercise is paying off.
