Hi ladies! DH and I welcomed Alexandria Ann and Christian John into the world
this morning at 33 weeks 4 days! I was scheduled to be induced on
Friday, but they had plans of their own. Alexandria is 4lbs 5oz and
Christian is 3lbs 8oz. They are in the NICU, but they're doing
amazingly well. Both of them came out crying and are breathing on their
own. They're hooked up to IVs only to give them sugar water. They're
such strong little preemies! We couldn't be happier right now.
I had a very rough delivery, but the hospital staff is taking good
care of me. I'll try to get a birth story together, but I'm way too
exhausted right now. I've been awake since yesterday at 6am and I'm now
severely anemic.

Congratulations!! Those are great weights...my girls were born at 33w2d and had very similar weights. They were mainly feeders/growers and did great in the NICU and beyond.
I was also severely anemic after my delivery and ended up opting for a blood transfusion - it was a great choice in the end...I never really had the chance to rest and recover with the girls in the NICU so the transfusion helped me feel like I could function again.
