After pprom and a water break at 26 weeks, I made it to 30 weeks 6 days. Yesterday evening I went into labor and rapidly dilated to 6!! Things from there went FAST!!! And I was whisked away for my c section.

Karley Grace was born at 8:13 pm, weighing 3 lbs 7.4 oz, and 16.7'' long! Bentley James was born at 8:14 pm, weighing 3 lbs 12 oz, and 16.5'' long!

They are both truly doing great! They scored 8 and 9 on their apgar test. Bentley was intubated but they think he well be off soon. Karley is using a cannula just to keep her lungs expanding but no oxygen!

They share a birthday with their daddy!!!!


Update:
Bentley and Karley continue to make amazing progress! They are both on room air already. They both have gotten breast milk. They got introduced to the bilirubin lights as their levels were elevated. DH and I got to hold them for the first time today doing kangaroo care!

  • You did so great, mama!! And what a special birthday present for dad! Their weights are very good and it sounds like they're doing well. I wish you a speedy recovery and short & uneventful NICU stays. My DD was born at 31 weeks 3 days at 3lbs 11oz and was in the NICU for exactly one month as a feeder and a grower. She came home at 4lbs 10oz. Hopefully your twins will go home even faster! Congrats!

  • Congrats! My preemie boys also share a birthday with their daddy. They were also born on the fifth anniversary of when he proposed. It's funny how things work out sometimes. I hope they continue to grow big, strong, and healthy!
