Quick Update
Hi Everyone!
Thanks for all your sweet comments, notes, calls, texts, etc. over the past few days...so very much appreciated! :)
Sorry to be so MIA, but, you know, babies. :)
Pics and details soon, I promise, but for now just a quick update on what's been happening:
- Last Wednesday: Unexpectedly admitted to the hospital for escalating preeclampsia (which pretty much came out of nowhere)
- Thursday 3/15: Labor induced, and Luke and Zoey are born (and I got to deliver them vaginally, which was a small miracle...can't wait to share their birth story with you!)
- Friday/Saturday: In the hospital, dealing with the preeclampsia, and having the babies watched closely (at 36 weeks they were considered premature. They stayed with us the whole time, though...no time in the NICU)
- Sunday/Monday/Tuesday: Home with the babies and so incredibly happy and IN LOVE. Also dealing with breastfeeding issues due to them being premature and me being sick...I am not complaining even a little because even with round-the-clock meltdowns (on the babies' part mostly, from hunger, poor things) I still would rather be doing this vs anything else in the entire world. BUT, we had a home visit today, and a new feeding plan that seems to be working, so I think we have rounded a corner. This afternoon has, for the first time, been all about angelic sleeping babies, and I am starting to feel a little bit human again
Anyway, all this has just been amazing, incredible, beyond my wildest dreams. So, so, so, so happy.
Hope everyone's doing well...looking forward to getting caught up soon!
XOXO
