ok…sorry about being MIA

 

Well what can I say…it has been a whirlwind to say the least.  After 59 days in the NICU Isaak and Mateo are now home.  They have been home for a week…I am exhausted.  I only missed 1 day being at the NICU and that was only because I was sick throwing up and the whole works.  Otherwise I was there everyday.  PT was not allowed in the NICU (more…)

Birth Story…and we have names :)

Let’s start from the beginning…On Monday the 9th I had a routine doctor’s appointment and was feeling really tight in the belly and joked around with my doctor about what it was going to take (more…)

They’re here…

So the last post kind of left you hanging…but I just haven’t had the time to jot stuff down.  My little men came into the world on 11/11 at 7:08 and 7:09 in the morning.  Baby A weighed 2lbs. 14oz. 15.5 in. and baby B weighed 3lbs. 7oz. 14.75in.  They are…(click more for pictures) (more…)

I was in bed…

at 1am on Nov. 10th my water broke in bed….

I’ve been admitted to the hospital and been given steroids and antibiotics to stave off infection and for lung development for the babies.  The docs are hoping i can make it at least another 4 weeks.  

More details later…i only have 1 hand to type with….so many things hooked up to me!

“Where will I be when my water breaks this time?”

It’s hard to believe that I am here.  28 weeks!!!  When I first heard those words from Dr. Tocce’s mouth I laid there in disbelief never imagining I would get this far….I know that doesn’t seem very positive but it’s the truth.  I couldn’t imagine with my history being able to make it this far with no complications, but here I am by the grace of God and I am so thrilled how it’s gone thus far.  I continue to be thankful for every day that passes knowing that every day makes a difference.

Tomorrow I go in for another ultrasound to check the status of my cervix and see how it’s holding up.  Now it seems like every single week will be precious to me…who am I kidding they all have been.  But I guess what I mean is that I don’t have to wait so long anymore…all my milestones thus far seemed to be 4 weeks apart or more…now it’s like every single week and the farther I get the better.

Lately I’ve been worried about a silly little thing.   When I was preggers with PT, my water broke (more…)

My Weekend With My Brain

My husband and son return today from their trip to Los Angeles.  They’ve had a great time and it’s been jam packed so they are exhausted!  They ended up not going to Disneyland after all…just too much to do, but had a lot of fun hanging out with all the cousins, family and the wedding went great.  While they’ve been gone I have been enjoying my silence, for the most part. (more…)

Peeking in on the Boys

Baby Boy B

Baby Boy B

Always love going in to see the boys.  It truly does amaze me that we can get a glimpse of babies in there and look in on what is going on in their world.  Now these two, well they are quite the pair already.  Baby Boy A enjoys kicking his brother in the face, while Baby Boy B’s legs are huge and now I see why I am being abused in there!

I think the craziest thing is… (more pictures) (more…)

Wonderful Milestone #2!

Ever since I found out about my bicornuate uterus it’s been all about achieving certain milestones along each pregnancy.  With my first pregnancy we found out when I was 8 weeks pregnant that I had this mullerian anomaly and were told that making it to 12 weeks was a good sign but not out of the woods…then making it to such and such week and so on.  So of course my 1st milestone for this pregnancy was reaching the end of the 1st trimester…and did not tell anyone we were pregnant except for our parents and siblings.  We felt that it was important to share our excitement with them and if anything did happen…well then we had their support.  After that 1st golden number we were on to the next…

I am approaching a very important week, (more…)

So many things to do…

As I was eating dinner with my husband and son I started thinking about how quickly September was coming to an end.  It took forever for September 10th to arrive but after it came the rest of September has flown right by!  So with my situation the way it is I have been restricted to fly anywhere after September in case any complications should arise and it really got me to thinking that this is happening WAY faster than I anticipated.

I could literally go on bed rest at any moment and then what?  (more…)

Surrounded by men!

So it’s official I am having 2 boys and my house will be full of testosterone, even my pets are boys!  Speaking of pets, the reason I am writing so late about our news is because we lost one of our cats, Lenny.  Phillip accidently left the garage door open and the door to the garage sometimes doesn’t shut all the way.  By the time Phillip realized he’d left the garage open who knows how long Lenny had wandered out.  Our hearts are broken and we hoping for a small miracle that somehow we will find him or he will show up.  We are taking it very hard and our other cat, Squiggy, is very depressed without his brother Lenny.

So I know you want to know if we were disappointed… (more…)
