February 2015 Moms

Babies have arrived!

I've been a little MIA, it's been a crazy 2 weeks over here. I was admitted to hospital last Tues for preeclampsia and was warned they may need to deliver the babies that night. They were thankfully able to get me stabilized and we got the steroid shots in to help with their lung development. Much to the surprise of most of the doctors and nurses, we hung on a full week, taking it one day at a time. There was decreased blood flow in the cord going to baby girl so we reached a point where they knew it was better for her to come out. The babies were delivered via c section on Jan 5, at 33+4. Liam Francis was born at 8:47pm weighing 3lbs,14oz followed closely by his sister, Emily Elizabeth at 8:48, weighing 3lbs7oz. Both babies are in NICU but doing very well. Their breathing has been good since birth. They're doing phototherapy right now for a little jaundice but overall they're such little fighters, they're amazing!

My pree actually got worse after delivery and I was a mess for a few days. Blood work and BP were all over the place, issues with potassium and my kidneys. But alas, I'm finally on the mend. I was discharged yesterday which was bittersweet. Glad to be out if hospital but so very hard to leave my little ones there. I am balancing recovery with wanting to be there all the time! I have never been so in love - with them and with my husband who has been beyond incredible through all of this <3
Without further ado, here are my two little miracles :)

  • Congrats momma. I am so thankful to hear you and babies are doing great well and on the mend. I hope their stay in NICU is short.
    Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
