Thank you ladies for sticking through my drama filled pregnancy. Thank you for your prayers!!!
We got induced this morning but ended up with a super duper emergency c section. Like running down the hall while cleaning my belly, hubby couldn't get suited up in time so he missed it kind of emergency. Charlotte weighs 3 lb, 10 oz but us breathing room air on her own wonderfully, and nursed for about 30 min! She is only having trouble with her temp bc she has no fat on her. NICU was so surprised with how well she's doing. We were 36 weeks 5 days, induced bc of pretty severe IUGR, she had fallen to the 3rd percentile, and the doctor said her placenta was crappy. Like really bad, it had started tear off the wall right after the epidural, but the placenta was not a good color and I was so glad that we induced when we did bc it went downhill so fast! Will post a pic of the beauty later!

Thank you!! Yes, Irish twins by ONE day! Crazy! Sad that I am missing Hunter's real birthday with him and missing his 12 month dr appointment.
He came up last night, but since he still has blisters from Hand Foot Mouth, we don't want him to go to the NICU. They are really just shriveled up old blisters b/c we didn't pop them. The fluid just soaked back up and now the skin is kinda just there. I just can't risk anything, though! Luckily, I got to see him, and he helped me eat ice chips!

Mono/di twin girls: Josephine born to heaven and Evangeline born Earthside at 25w
Congrats!
Congrats! After my tiny guy was born the dr did an ultrasound b/c she didn't believe all my placenta came out. It had, and she said it was one of the smallest she'd ever seen (plus he had a 2 vessel cord) and she was surprised he was even 5lbs at 38 weeks.
Our bodies, and these babies, are really amazing. That's wonderful that she's breathing room air and nursing! Don't get discouraged if she does need some o2 at some point though.
