UPDATED 07/18 more info on my new baby nieces

Anthony just called me
his sil was taken to Winthrop bc she felt pain, which turned out to be contractions....we dont know anything else

please pray for her. She's only 5 months along with twins

update 06/05/07
they monitered her yesterday evening and set her up on an iv.
i went to their house and her husband, anthony's brother came home qucikly to get clothes to spend the night there.
All he said was something about the cervix but bc he was in such haste, i didnt ask much. And that she will be in the hospital for 10 WEEKS She will be transferred up to high risk and once she can have visitiors i will go and update you ladies with whats really going on

update 06/07
ok heres the story
she turned 22 weeks this past Sunday. She felt her stomach "drop'. The next day, monday, she went to her routine 2 weeks doctors appt. They told her to go straight to the hospital. The twins dropped and twin A's head is laying right on her cervix. Shes dilated .9 centimeter.
She's 22.5 weeks now
Their goal is to make it to 24 weeks(fathers day) and then they will start her on steroids to develop the babies' lungs
Then the next goal is to hit 28 weeks.
Then the final goal is to hit 32 weeks which is august 12th. Then that day they'll either make her deliver (most likely) or she'll go home and wait till she in labor.
She's good just bored.
I brought her crossword puzzles and stuff.
Tomorrow im bringing her books and dvds...

thank you for your interest and continued prayers.

as of yesterday, shes 24 weeks.
Throughout the last week she's been having a contraction here or there. So yesterday was her first day she could go outside to catch some fresh air but they took that away. Basically she can only get up to use the bathroom and her biweekly or triweekly quick showers where her husband assists her.
she starts steroids this week to develop babies' lungs
next goal they're shooting for- 28 weeks


7/17
Lisa turned 28 weeks this past Sunday
She just gave birth to 2 girls about 2 hours ago....Shes in recovery now so ill get more info tomorrow
Both babies are doing fine and are 2.8 lbs each


7/18
so since she hit 28 weeks this past Sunday they were trying to make it to their next goal of 32 weeks but that didnt happen

She started having a lot of contractions but she said they didnt feel like anything. She was talking to her parents about the nursery when the chief resident came in to check on her bc she heard she was having all day contractions...
As soon as the doc, felt inside, she felt a foot and a butt

25 minutes later at 7:26pm and 7:28pm babies Lily and Hannah came into this world (by c-section) both weighing 2.8lbs and 14 inches long

babies and mommy are all doing fine....

Ill update again when i can actually see them. i think only parents and grandparents can see them for the first few weeks

BABY STAY IN DUST!

Re: oh no. my fsil is having contractions and shes only 5 months

Thankfully if she isn't dilating there is a lot they can do...this is a common occurrence w/multiples..they can give a drug to stop labor and keep it at bay until she's ready to deliver. I hope everything goes well!!!
