Welcome our new baby girls




When I got to the hospital yesterday morning, things started moving pretty fast. I was there no more than 10 minutes and the resident doctor came in to check to see how she was doing and stated that it was time to go into delivery. My first born daughter is Lauren Elizabeth and Mom was incredible and delivered her naturally with no epidural. She weighed in at 3 lb 8 oz and 16 1/2" long. She was born about 10:15 AM on Thursday. My second born daughter, Emily Ann was breach and had to be turned. The doctor was checking on her position and Emily grabbed his finger and would not let go inside the womb. They quickly decided to do a C-section and that went very well. Emily was born about 1 hour later and weighed in at 3 lb 9 oz and 16 1/2" long. They are in the NICU and sharing a room. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers. The top photo is Emily Ann and the bottom photo is Lauren Elizabeth.

At the room

J.M. had a pretty good night, no dry heaving or vomit. Both of us dozed pretty good for a few hours through out the night. He stayed on a course of pain meds alternating between Tylenol and ibuprofen and had a dose of Zofran this morning. After the ibuprofen on an empty stomach he would get the nausea, so I don't think he will be having that anymore. As long as he continues to take in liquid and keep it down he may be able to be discharged today. He had some more popsickle and some apple juice. We took him for a ride down to the lobby to see the Christmas decorations. The doctors want him to be more active and we will be helping him do that.

Update #1:

He had been in bed pretty much the hole day. His pain had been managed as needed with Tylenol. I went to a nice area for adults and had a great 4 hour nap and when I came back at 6:30 PM after a wake-up call from J.M. he had some solid food for supper and has been keeping it down. He has had no Zofran this afternoon and this is now as needed. He in not on any IV drip, so he needs to stay hydrated and thus far has been drinking fluids. I'm thinking that if he has a good night...we are out of here tomorrow.
