So far so good. They are on room air CPAP, but no need for supplemental ocygen or ventilators. No health issues identified so far. We're just working on letting them grow and learn to eat, regulate their temps, etc. If all goes well they'll be here until they hit 36 weeks gestation point.Quote:

Awww so tiny compared to you! Though oddly she looks huge when I think that my little Jules is only a few ounces smaller than her lol. She is so precious! And so alert for a baby born so early!!Quote:

Wow Bunny! For a little 3 lber born at 31 weeks you have some strong babies there. So happy for you! How long will you stay in the hospital? Do you have to pump until they can nurse?
I'm being discharged Friday and they need to stay at least until they reach 36 weeks gestational age. Right now I'm pumping and am not sure when I'll get to attempt nursing. I'm not sure if they'll ever take to nursing or have needs that prevent it (like higher calorie needs or thickening). I do have intentions of pumping for feeds at the very least though.
She is beautiful BG!

Good for you Bunny..hopefully you all will get to nurse but what is most important is that they are healthy and it sure seems that they are. Keep us all posted!
Aw bunnygirl they have done so well for so early!!!
She's adorable, Bunnygirl! Amazing that they're so strong already. Nice job, mama!
How are you all doing BG? Are you healing up well? How are the twins?
Two girls and one boy, due October 16
They're doing great. They are basically just feeders and growers now. We're working on weaning off their IV supplements, increasing their feeds (by NG tube right now), and getting them to learn how to bottle feed all their requirements to go home. I'm not sure how long it will be before we attempt bottle feedings, but they were introduced to a pacifier already and are starting to learn to suck on it.
I still feel exhausted and run down but I think it's because I'm fighting a cold. I'm feeling a little better physically, but definitely still have a sore tummy (it's day 5 now from the c-section). I'm frustrated that my milk is taking so long to come in. I'm only getting 30-50 ml of colostrum-ish stuff per pumping. It's runnier now, but still not actually in milk stage yet. I'm pumping nowhere near what I need to be for a good supply yet. I blame it on the shitty Ameda pump in the hospital. It didn't get anything out of me, maybe 5 ml at most. I had DH get me my Medela and I had gotten 25 ml immediately after pumping only 5 ml with the Ameda. I'm hoping I didn't hurt my supply using that crappy thing.
I hear Ameda is awful though my last medela wasn't great either. I'll be using a new one this time around. I sometimes wondered if I was just wasn't a good pumper.
Boy it sure is quiet these days. Has anyone heard from Lauren? I haven't seen a post from her since she found out boy:/
We're gearing up for our move. Our house closed today- yay!! I am in major nesting and project mode. I have my husband refinishing 4 different dressers and I have a long list of diy projects for the new bedroom my odler two will share plus the new nursery. I have zero patience so it's hard not getting everything at once and spending massive amounts of money and time before we've even moved. Lol
Good luck with the move, lala!
I've been dealing with a possibly-broken foot. last year I broke my foot and had tendon injuries that kept me off it for most of the year. It was 80% healed when I got pregnant... then last week my 4 year old dropped a piece of furniture on my foot. Again. In the same exact place. Totally purple bruises, swollen, and I'm afraid broken. Waaa! And it's so much worse having this while pregnant. Crutches? A total joke. No way can i support myself on those things right now. The boot-cast? So painful and causes massive restless leg. No advil. I'm basically physically useless. I can't get in to see my doctor for 10 more days, so we'll see what xrays show then. Praying maybe just a bone bruise--which hurts but at least wouldn't mean damage. But it feels like the same tendon injury I had before has been re-injured. Which can take up to a year to heal...and even then only has a 50/50 chance of healing without surgery. So. Bummer.
Oh god girlie that's terrible! You can't be injured while pregnant but especially while having a newborn and little ones around! Why will it take 10 days to see the doc?
27 weeks exactly! Up about 23-25 lbs and already feeling pains of pregnancy- groin issues, moderate back pain, swollen limbs here and there and not too comfortable sleeping even with the body pillow. I am really trying to savor this though because it is the last pregnancy and I know I will miss it. I'm already sad it's the last time:/

I can't stop crying about the twins being my last and how their delivery was a horrible, terrifying experience. Not to mention they came so early and I was hoping for at least 34 weeks. I want another chance at pregnancy to have my good birth experience and at least for the time being have talked DH out of getting on the waiting list (which is around 6 months) for a vasectomy to give us a chance to adjust and decide one way or the other. He wants to be done, I don't. I don't want to do anything permanent to remove the possibily of more, because I'd regret it too much. For most of my pregnancy with the twins I thought I'd be okay being done when they were born, but around 24 weeks I started feeling uncomfortable with that. DH doesn't really want a vasectomy, but feels like it's expected. I was so upset with all the staff in the hospital trying to pressure me into getting my tubes tied and acting pissy when I said no. All the "you really need to do something permanent before you have more" comments were so hurtful and then they'd move on to telling DH he'd better get a vasectomy. WTF?! I don't understand them pushing it so much. They aren't raising or paying for my children so it's none of their concern how many we have or how frequently. I'm kind of hoping for a "surprise" pregnancy in the near future. I'll need to discuss things with my doctor further, but he said he doesn't see a medical reason for me not to have another pregnancy or a reason why I can't have a VBA2C if we did have another baby. I just really want a 38+ week baby, no complications at birth, a nice vaginal delivery, immediate skin to skin, and a good breastfeeding experience. I've never had all that with any of mine before.
Bunny you crazy! Lol. I truly don't know you do it. You would be on your 7th with another right? I can barely handle my two -wondering how things will be with this 3rd munchkin. But it isn't up to doctors and nurses to decide what you can handle or to give you crap. How are those babies?
They're doing good, just feeders and growers now unless an issue pops up. They're both over birth weight and off IV nutrition support. The next step will be teaching them to nurse and bottle feed, although I'm pretty sure I'm just going to end up putting them on formula after they are home. I cannot keep up pumping for both. I'm just barely keeping up now and they're only eating 2 oz total between the two each feeding. I'm thinking it'll be too difficult to pump just to have mixed feedings for two babies. The crappy part is that I just spent $400 on a new pump because my old one that I loved went MIA and the one I got from my insurance is useless at getting anything out of me. It seems like I should have another so I can make good use of it. LOL! I'm really surprised, but at 10 days PP I've lost all but 10 of the 40 lb I gained with the pregnancy.
Yes, my house is crazy with the 4 kids I already have at home, but they play with and entertain each other so it's not like they require constant attention and supervision from me. My cleaning and household chores get slacked on a bit, especially laundry (typically just the folding and putting away part). It's hard to go to appointments when you can't bring kids with so I have to find someone to watch at least a couple of them. The only real issue I think we're going to have is going on our trips because it's a lot of work to split them up and get the grandmas to watch them. I don't feel like it's that much work with the four so far, especially since they are more independent and helpful the older they get, but they complain about it. This would end up meaning DH going on trips without me for a few years, but I'd gladly trade that for another pregnancy.
Oh, I wish I knew. It was the first available they could give me. I guess he's just super busy. :/ He's a foot specialist and does a lot of athletes, so my guess is he's just booked.Quote:

lala, I can't get over how tiny you look! Not that I'm jealous... much. ;) I'm huge. I was at the store the other day and the checker asked, "Are you delivering soon?" Me: "three more months." Her: "Oh my God, but you're huge! Twins?" Me: (through gritted teeth) "No. Just one." ha!
I will NOT miss being pregnant at all. I hate every second of it except when that beautiful baby is born. Of course it's all worth it in the end. It's just ten million types of discomfort now.
Lol girlie you're sweet. It is all about perspective though isn't it because I genuinely feel rather big..having put on 25 lbs I feel it. Sometimes my actual tummy feels smaller than other times which seems so odd to me but in general, my body feels big..my butt, legs and boobs are where I carry so almost everywhere LOL. Girlie, are you all done after this one? You're on the 4th right? But you also have a old oldest which is so helpful. My husband is dead set on no more and honestly I am too...mostly. The last 2 weeks or so though I can't help but mourn this as my last pregnancy, last newborn and last firsts..it's pretty devastating. But financially it doesn't make sense and we love our freedom so it's pretty silly of me to even think of doing this a 4th time and yet that biological urge is there lol.
I got to hold them both at the same time last night.

Awe bunny sooo sweet. Is it hard leaving them there during the day?
Yeah. I only get to see them for a couple hours at night. :(
:( That must be brutal.
Bunny girl! I wish you lots of strength and that you can bring Your beautiful twin healthy and soon home! This is absolutely Adorable!

So precious, Bunny! I can't imagine how hard it is to leave them.
Yep, for sure my last one. Almost didn't happen...we were close to throwing in the towel a few times while ttc, thinking we were just too old or it was going to be too hard with our autistic son and a newbie. I actually thought #3 was my last, but after he was a boy, well, I just knew we needed a girl to complete our family. Only took me 3 years to convince dh. ;) But I have a 16 year old son, and I'm turning 40 this year, so this is for sure it for me.Quote:

Once my youngest graduates from high school I'll be at a total of 34 years of having a child in the house. Ha! So, yeah... I'm so done. :) I'll be cherishing every baby moment, but I haven't had any sadness at it being the last this time around. Kinda relieved really. lol.
Echoing the others BG... I can't even imagine :/ They are so precious though :DQuote:

We decided she will definitely be born Sept 30 (barring complications). So she will be here 10 weeks and 5 days from now... eek, lol. She is so cute too. Looks a lot like me and my youngest (who also takes after me ).
