Pregnant after IF

Quick update on me and the boys.

We are doing great as of last night. I will get update on the boys later today. Baby B Jacob weighs 2lbs 8oz and Baby A Joshua weighs 3lbs 4oz. I don't know the exact time of birth. Both babies are in the NICU only needed pressure room air. Neither baby is struggling. If all is well today they will be breathing on their own and a feeding tube will be inserted.

I am doing great and the recovery isn't as bad as I had thought. I started pumping last night and things are all moving along slowly. The babies where delivered because my contractions where so strong and long cause the babies HR to drop down to the 50's. It was an incredibly scary night and day. I guess sometimes it is better out than in. I want to thank you ladies for your sweet words. MH and I are really touched. A birth story to come soon.

Here are some pips and sorry they are huge; tinypic and photobucket are blocked sites here at the hospital. 

 

This is Jacob.

Here is Joshua.
