Posted 03 December 2009 - 03:50 AM

After being in the hospital 6 weeks on bedrest, we had the boys on 11-27-09! They were 32 weeks and came in weighing 4lbs 4 ounces (James) and 3lbs 4 ounces (Liam). They are doing well, and are breathing room air, they will be in the NICU for the next several weeks as they develop and put on more weight. They are also getting their IV's off tonight and are feeding on breast milk really well.

I'm doing well too. Had a c-section and I am quite sore, and transferring is a bit awkward but I'm figuring it out (also, the vicodin helps!)

Here are a few pictures of the cute little guys:

Hope the pic's show up!

Oh Karen!!! They are so beautiful (and so is their mommy). Thank God that they are healthy and that you are okay. I had a C-section too and they are challenging enough without paralysis. It will take you a bit to feel like your old self again but at least you won't be pregnant and you will have those handsome boys (including hubby) to keep you company. Congratulations!!!!
