Despite my nervousness it was time for surgery. Rick and I could barely wait to meet these little guys. What would they look like? How much would they weigh? How much time would they need to spend in the NICU? All these questions and so many more raced through our minds!
We would like to officailly introduce in birth order......
These beautiful baby boys were born into this world perfectly healthy and we couldn't feel more blessed! From the beginning of the pregnancy we expected them to be early and that they would need spend at least some time in the NICU.
Being able to carry them until 36 weeks made all the difference in the world! Our baby boys didn't have to spend a moment in the NICU! We couldn't of dreamed of a better outcome!!
I was in the hospital for an additional week recovering and was able to come home Tuseday March 16th. Being away from my children was one of the most difficult things I've had to endure so it was a breath of fresh air to come home.
We surprised Hannah, Noah & Reilly with our return & they were so excited that Mommy & their new baby brothers were finally home!
Everything has been going really well since being home. The babies have been on the same eating and sleeping schedule for the most part, which has been wonderful. Hannah , Noah & Reilly have adjusted amazingly well and adore their baby brothers.
Rick and I after trial and and error have come up with a great overnight schedule which allows both of us to get sufficant rest. I have been going to bed by 8 pm and relieving Rick by 12:30ish so he can then get 5-6 hours of sleep before going to work. I have been able to also get an additional 2-3 hours overnight!! I don't think I got more sleep when Reilly was born!
We had our first pediatrician appointment last Friday & Chase and Reece were back up to birth weight. Logan who was 4lbs 12oz was up to 5lbs 1oz. These babies can eat!! They are all drinking between 2 & 3 oz per feeding and I am able to nurse as well. It was a slow start but each day I am able to increase how often I nurse each of them.
Rick and I have so many people to thank!
We want to start by thanking Everyone from FAHC Fetal Maternal Medicine. We have had such a wonderful experience and can't thank you all enough. Thank you Dr. Meyer and the delivery team!
A big thank you to the nursing staff in Shep-5. You all were so amazing and I couldn't have recovered as quickly without you!! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies as well!
Thank you Hubie & Sherry and those of you who helped with the kids while I was in the hospital!
