had my baby girls!!!! 32 weeks
HI all - well Im an August mommy.
My little ladies, Kelsey Peyton and Riley Patricia, came early, on Tuesday Aug 21st. They were 32 weeks and 2 days. Kelsey weighed 4.2 lbs and Riley weighed 3.6 lbs.
I had gone in for a reg appt at my high risk doctor, and I have increased fluid in baby a. I had been dealing with twin to twin transfusion form 23-28 weeks or so, and then the fluid evened out on its own and we were ok. Not the case on Monday. I went to the hospital for another round of steroids and was admitted. It was the worst night ever. Baby a was all over the place and they had so much trouble tracking her heart on the monitor. Tues morning my doc scanned me again, and didnt like the fluid and how baby a was working so hard.
I had a c-section and lost 9 LITERS of fluid. It was the best decision to take the girls out. Kelsey (baby a) has been working to get rid of all the fluid for her first few days. She is doing well. She is more relaxed on oxygen in her nose, so they are just keeping that for her. She began eating on day 4. Riley (baby b) has been doing great as well. She has been breathing room air and began eating day 3. Kelsey is a few days behind Riley but both are making progress in the NICU. I was able to hold Riley twice in the last 5 days but havent gotten to hold Kelsey yet. Hopefully soon!
I came home yesterday and it kind of hit me last night I left them. They are in the best hands in the NICU and we pretty much live around the block from hospital.

Re: had my baby girls!!!! 32 weeks
Aww congrats! and glad they are doing well!
While it stinks they are in the NICU I do feel like for me it was a little blessing in disguise. The NICU nurses taught us everything we needed to know, eased all our fears and got them on a GREAT schedule.
Hope they are home with you soon!
Love their names!

Re: had my baby girls!!!! 32 weeks
Congratulations!!!!! Good Job Mama!!
Nicu life is a blessing in disguise as people mentioned above. Coming home without your babies is very difficult, but you are very lucky you live so close to the hospital.
We were in the nicu for 6 weeks last year at this time. Be strong!! your babies are in the best hands

Re: had my baby girls!!!! 32 weeks
CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of your daughters...NICU is an amazing place, and there is def. the bonus of the NICU schedule when they come home...I hope you get to hold much more of both your daughters...that was what I found the hardest having a baby in the NICU, not being able to hold him...
Hopefully their stay wil be short, and they will be home with you soon.
