Secondary IF

Cupcakes are here...

This is a copy and paste from our blog:

This last week they tried to wean me off the magnesium and send me home. It didn't work and so I had an emergency c-section yesterday.


Rachel Francisca Snow came at 12:42. She currently on a ventilator. We hope 3-5 days she will be off of it and on the CPAC like her brother. She weighs in at about 3 1/2 lbs.


Callum Brigham was born at 12:43 and is breathing on his own. He is really tiny, just under 3 lbs but is fighting hard and doing well.

 Not from blog: 

I am okay.  In a bit of pain and a little sad.  I just feel like I really let my kids down but I know that is silly and that I did my best.  I'll stay in the hospital until Monday.  Harmon won't get to meet his sibling for a couple of months probably.  The nurses and doctors say they will probably come home mid October.

Congrats to you- Your whole family is in my prayers during this time- that those babies grow and thrive, that Harmon gets to meet them soon and can become the great big brother he's destined to become, that you have a quick recovery, and that you all, sooner rather than later, can settle in at home and get to know each other! ((hugs!))

  • Fran, please don't feel like you let them down!  They wouldn't have stayed in there as long as they had if you hadn't been a dedicated, cheerful mommy who laid in bed for weeks to keep them baking!  They are BEAUTIFUL, and if your NICU is anything like ours was, the cupcakes are getting excellent care.  Be sure and take care of yourself too as you recover physically--going back and forth to the NICU is hard, and you need to make sure you're healing up so you can do your best for them and the rest of your family.  Congratulations!  I know the NICU is scary at first, but I'm sure you are in good hands and when you're celebrating the twins' birthday this time next year, your NICU stay will feel like a distant memory.  Hang in there, and congrats!
