I know everyone has been patiently waiting for pictures. We had taken some right after they were born but they are so personal and the twins looked so fragile we decided to keep them private. It is midnight and we just got back from visiting the twins. We took a few pictures of our beautiful, [...]

Day One
October 25th, 2007 · 6 Comments
Just a quick update before I take a nap. Recovering from the c-section is tiring, not to mention all that has gone on in the past 36 hours. I’m doing ok, I’ve been up and walking and the IV’s have been pulled. I get to have a regular lunch today rather than some broth and [...]
Birthday

I really need to stop writing posts the night before where things have been good because the next day usually seems to go to hell in a hand basket! This morning I woke up around 3 AM with contractions. I tried to remain calm and see how many I had in a hour; which was [...]

Day 12 of hospital lock down
October 23rd, 2007 · 10 Comments
I’m going to make this fast as it is 10:40 pm and I’m tired, but our readers get so worried when we don’t post! This morning they woke me up at 4:00 am to take the Procardia, then a little while later I had a contraction. That made me worried it was going to start [...]

Sorry I haven’t updated. Family members have been calling my mom since nothing has been added. So far, so good. After a fairly traumatic Saturday, Sunday was calm (minus excitement for other reasons). The contractions have pretty much stopped and the babies are their active selves. This morning it took the nurse several minutes to [...]

So yesterday sucked. I woke up early because my nurse came into to give me some meds. Since I was awake I thought I would write a post (kind of like now). Friday night I had been feeling a bit different, I called the nurse and talked with her but she didn’t seem concerned. It [...]
Tough Morning
October 20th, 2007 · 4 Comments
Hava woke up this morning with some consistent contractions. The doctors gave her drugs to stop the contractions even though they had said last week that they wouldn’t. The drugs seem to be working, so we are still just sitting here hoping for the best. Nothing else really to report, except that we are very [...]

25%
October 20th, 2007 · No Comments
When Dr. Soffici originally gave us the twins odds he said there was a 20% chance I would get past the first week without delivering. We have now made it past the first week and have moved onto NEW odds that I have a 25% chance to get to 28 weeks. If you remember that [...]
Exploding Veins & Steroids
October 18th, 2007 · 6 Comments
After a good day in the hospital on Wednesday, the evening did not go so hot. Hava lost another IV site, which was her second one since being here, so they had to put a new one in. Something didn’t work correctly when it went in and, according to Hava, the vein exploded [...]
My view
October 17th, 2007 · 11 Comments
I haven’t left this room since Friday so my view is a little limited. Tadd already knows his way around the floor and has met lots of the nurses, he has a one up on me since I only see the ones that are assigned to me.
Here is a slice of what my day is [...]
