We had a big surprise today! Dominic and Vincent arrived 8 weeks early! I had to have a c-section bc they were breech and I was in active labor at 6cm dilated. I was 30 weeks yesterday.
They are both in the NICU on CPAP with room air. We were able to spend some time doing kangaroo care tonight. They were born at 7:08 and 7:12. They are doing really well! Praying that they continue to do well.
Vincent (Baby A) weighs 3lbs 6oz and is 16 inches long.
Dominic (pictured with blue gloved hands) weighs 3lbs 3oz and is 16.25 inches.
This all came from a normal 30 week OB visit. I was a little crampy and had sons increased discharge. They checked me and I was at 4cm!

Congrats! Just had my boys last night too, need to do a separate post. I'm jealous that you already got to do kangaroo, they are making us wait til this weekend.
Congrats, Ali!!! What handsome little men they are. LOVE their names and thoughts and prayers for a smooth recovery and NICU stay for the boys. Hope they are home with you in no time!!!
Congratulations! I hope their NICU stay is as short as possible so you can all be home together. Love the names! One of your boys shares the same name as my oldest :-)
Just saw this now and posted on our month board too, but oh my goodness! The boys are adorable and I'm so glad everyone is okay! Hopefully they will have a quick NICU stay and get to come home to meet their siblings soon! Best wishes!
