It's hard to believe that after 2 surgeries, a fresh round of IVF w/ OHSS, & 4 FETs... we finally welcomed our baby girls last Sunday, 11/2!
I was exactly 37 weeks, and woke up early that morning with contractions and leaking fluid. We headed right to L&D where they did a NST. My contractions weren't regular, and the fluid tested negative for amniotic fluid... weird. However, my BP was high and one of our baby girl's heart rates was all over the place. They admitted me right away, and did an emergency c-section.
It was a scary, fast turn of events but thankfully both of our girls checked out healthy w/ no NICU time needed! My recovery has honestly been a breeze, too. It's amazing the relief your body feels after getting 14+ pounds of babies & everything else out!
Holding them for the first time was truly the most perfect moment.
Meet April - 7 lbs 8 oz.
& Brianna - 6lbs 10 oz.
Our little miracles!
