XP from PAIF: Ethan and Braden have arrived 1/20/2013!!!

At 25 weeks I was placed on hospital bed rest for a shortened cervix and being 1cm dilated. I was in the hospital for 8 weeks and then home for two - bringing us to 35 weeks. I was admitted back in the hospital the second time for presenting symptoms of PIH, and 2 days later my blood pressure started to rise, the protein in my urine had increased to a point where they did not feel comfortable and my edema had taken a turn for the worse - so the rounding doctor decided it was time to deliver the boys. 

The c-section delivery was a little rough, I had lost quite a bit of blood and did not feel well. We got through it and Ethan Andrew was born at 12:28pm - 4 lbs 11oz and 18 inches long. Braden Thomas was born at 12:29pm - 5 lbs 2oz and 17 inches long. Both boys did not require any NICU time!!!

We have been home for about a week now and are adjusting to life as parents of twins. We are so in love with the boys and are excited for our new family.
