Svedka, it was great to read about Jonathan's birth story and to be a participant (as a reader) to the process of how you entered into motherhood. hope you are both recovering quickly!
Thank you for sharing your story and going into as much detail as you did. I am sure it was all so whirlwind for you but I'm so glad to hear you are recovering well and baby J is a rockstar in the NICU! Keep up the good work Momma and I look forward to plenty of updates and cute pics of your little guy.

Thank you for sharing Svedka! It is great to hear that baby J is doing so well and that you have great support! I can't wait for you to be able to take your baby boy home!! He is so precious!!
Love the photos! He is the most handsome little guy! I love the stink eye pic.
I will say that kangaroo care is amazing. It will help him grow and get stronger so much more than you think. I had a really amazing experience with my third baby after being able to kangaroo. He was in the NICU for low sugar levels after birth and with kangaroo care, his sugars evened out and my blood pressure did too.
Wishing you the best for your stay with Jonathan.
Oh and how did you figure out snapfish?! I am so confused. I can't figure it out (on my iPhone 4s).
Your baby boy is beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear the hellish pain you went through. That little man looks like he makes it all very worth it. I hope you are recovering well!
Thank you for your story! Congratulations he is precious and I'm so happy to hear he is doing well! I'km afraid I will have a very similar story. I am 29w today. Been in hosp 2 weeks. Been on mag 4x (omg the bed pans!) I am 5 cent dilated, ruptured membranes and my water is leaking. I managed to last 2 weeks here! Already had 2 rounds of steroids. Glad your little man is doing great. I can't believe you et to hold him already! I just bought the book the preemie primer written by an obgyn who had twin 26 weekers. So it's a medical and mother perspective.
