You girls here? I need an update.

Also, anyone else who remembers me (*chicken*....I had to change my AE because I was tired of not being able to change my siggie) and thinks I'm worthy of an update. ;-)

Hi! The girls are doing really well. A & C are over 5lbs now and V is almost 3lbs.:-)

We almost lost V a few weeks ago. She had to have a PDA ligation which Is a common surgery for preemies that closes a murmur that won't close with medication (C had to take the same meds but it helped her PDA). She did great during and after the surgery but she quickly crashed. We got a called from her Dr at 1am telling us to come to the hospital because she was very worried about her. It was terrible. Thankfully, she slowly started getting better and now she Is doing GREAT.

A & C will most likely be coming home in the next 10 days. C was suppose to come home this Wednesday but the Dr told us she wasn't totally comfortable sending her home just yet because she still has to get her breathing In check. A is doing great with breathing but still needs work on bottle feeding. C acts as If each bottle Is the last one she'll ever get. She sucks so fast and gets this look on her face like she's getting her fix (you know, eyes half open kind of like she's high). V probably won't come home for a few weeks; probably closer to my due date on July 26.

I'm scared and excited for them to come home. It's been 67(?) days since they were born, it will be so weird not going to the hospital everyday. I'll miss some of the nurses and Drs.

I'm doing really well. The day of their birth was not a great day (of course, it ended great). I had contractions all day (I had been in the hospital for 9 days at that point). The Dr told me I was most likely having false contractions which is common in multiplies. At 5pm I had a really intense contraction so the Dr checked me out and found that I was 6cm dilated and C's hand and foot were hanging out or my cervix; forty-five minutes later my last girl was born. It was crazy, they don't mess around with emergency c-sections.

Three weeks and three attacks later I had my gallbladder removed (the day before V's surgery). So glad I had it done.

Hiya chicken!!  OMG...so happy that A&C will be able to come home; and, of course, little V shortly after. 

Love, love, love the fact that you'll all be home very soon!

No update from me....just waiting for Dec 3rd - so we can meet our son/daughter.  We've checked with the birth mother and she's OK with finding out the sex of the baby for us - so I think in a week (her next appt) we'll know something...as long as the baby cooperates during the u/s.

Sending you much love...keeping you all in my T&Ps.   *MUAH*
