So I am just posting really fast, since it's been a while!! It's amazing how life can throw such curveballs when you seem to have things going in a nice flow!!!
Some of you know that my grandmother has been ill for the past 4 months and has been in a downward spiral. Well my volleyball coaching season just came to an end, we got everything done with the house, and on the market (which was a lot of work!!!) and I finally felt like I could start working on the little things like.... um, losing weight!! So I wanted to start hard this last week, since things have calmed down a bit. My grandfather just went into the hosptial unexpected (he is doing much better now) but he is not doing real well overall. I went to visit my Grandma this last week for the first time in about 2 months, and it's just so sad to see both of them this way. And then mothers day with all it's festivities! Augh, hopefully this week will calm down! At least this week waited until now, instead of in the middle of the house drama!!!
Story of the twins arrival!
Alright, here's the scoop. On March 31st, I was starting to retain a bunch of water in my abdomin and the previous day I was spilling protein, so the doctor wanted me to go up to the hospital to have a lab taken to make sure I wasn't developing high blood pressure ( preeclampisa). So I went to the hospital at 8pm. The moment they hooked me up to the monitors I started contracting! Every 5 mins getting progressively worse in that hour. The doctor came back in and said, well you are in labor, what do you want to do?? I looked at him and told him he either had 3 hours to get these babies out of me, or we were waiting another 24 hrs because I was not going to have these babies on April 1st! So the doctor said, how soon can your husband be here? We then started preparing for Dane and Hailey's arrivals.
I arrived at the hospital to have some labs done at 8pm, by 9pm we decided we were delivering, and Dane arrived at 10:09pm and Hailey at 10:10pm. Both babies were in the NIC-U for 2 days since they were so early (35 1/2 weeks) and then were released to pediatrics with me and Drew. We were all able to head home on their week birthday:) Both Dane and Hailey are doing extremely well, and big sister Alexis couldn't be happier! I'm just glad they are out of my stomach!
