Pregnant after IF

The girls are here

Sorry I've been MIA.  I haven't had a free hand since the girls were born last Friday.

They induced me Fri a.m. and by the time we got pitocin and an epi started it was about noon.  at 9:31 and 9:38 p.m. Audrey and Edythe "Edy" were born weighing in at 6 lbs 12 oz each.  I'm amazed we managed to avoid a c-section - Edy didnt' turn head down until 35 weeks.  I'm so thrilled they are a good size and didn't need anytime in the nursery.  They just stayed in the room with us. We've been watching their weight loss and doing jaundice checks this week but yesterday the dr said we are all good.  We're struggling a bit with feeding but I think that's not unexpected for 37 weeks or twins.

We are completely in love and DH has become a  Daddy pro - changing diapers and feeding and swaddling with the best of them.  The girls are gorgeous and have the sweetest disposition.  I feel like the luckiest mom in the world
