JB, I will pray for you, your wife and baby. Please make sure you ask questions and you have all info before you make any decision. You want to make sure you are not misled in any way. My uncle has a very healthy and gifted autistic child who supposedly had little chance of making it.
I will give a quick Twins update. I had a big thing typed up but pressed refresh on my computer and it was gone. I don't have time to retype so here are the cliffnotes: We were scheduled for induction on Tuesday. They phoned her to go down at 4 pm. Started inducing at 5. Heavy contractions by 8, they stopped inducing, contractions kept coming stronger and harder. She got the drugs at 9:30, into the delivery room just after 10. It was a big production, nothing like with my first 2 daughters. This involved about 7 nurses and 3 doctors. The first baby came out, it was a boy (I knew before hand that they are identical which means....right on! 2 boys!) The second baby was breach so the doctor reached in and yanked him out by his feet. He was quite a bit smaller but seemed healthy. They were 6lbs 6 ounces (Riley) and 4lbs 7 ounces (Drew). They don't look identical right now, but they are. Riley and my wife come home tomorrow (Saturday) and Drew will be in neonatal until sometime next week. He is progressing well but just needs time and monitoring over there, we have been bringing him pumped breast milk which helps him more then formula. We just bought a super-premo milk pump so my wife is going to start full scale production tomorrow. I can't wait to have everyone at home. I have started a 6 month parental leave and I feel very blessed that it went this way and I didn't wind up with 2 more girls (just kidding) . My 3 and 2 year old girls are very happy and prepared for the babies also. |
