Hi everyone! I got released from the hospital on Monday. I'm recovering pretty well from the c-section. The incision is a little tender, but not too bad.
The twins are doing just excellent considering they were born at 31 weeks. Both are breathing on their own with no tubes or oxygen. Both are receiving food through a tube in their nose and both seem to be digesting pretty well. Sometimes their residuals are a little high, but the doctors said it just takes time for them to learn how to digest well. Today they are hoping to take the catheter tubes out of their bellies.
Overall, the babies are doing just amazing! We've both gotten to hold them several times. They are just precious. They are technically 32 weeks this week. The neonatalogist said most babies go home around 36 weeks. So we are aiming for early September to bring them home.
It's been a crazy rollercoaster of a week, but I feel so blessed to have these babies here safe and sound! I'll post my birth story later - it's pretty long!!
