1 month old

Well my babies are already a month old. Time is sure flying by fast.

Here is their stats:

Bryce is 6lbs 12oz 19 in long

Lilly is 4lbs 0.7oz

Both are healthy and doing good.

Lilly has a goal to be home before Easter, we just have to get her to eat her bottles and she will be a free baby.

Valentines Day 2012

Well Lilly and Bryce have not officially had their Valentines Day with us yet as we are waiting for Lilly to come home from the hospital first but as soon as she does we will post all about it.

But in the mean time here are just a few pictures the nurse took of our sweet girl.

My Twins And Their Life in the NICU

So far my babies are progressing quickly and doing so well I dont think they will be there long!

They both started off in incubators with oxygen, Jauniduce lights, IV's and constant care. Lilly had good lungs and her brother stole all the food. So he was fighting to breath and she just needs to gain weight.

By the 4th day my Lilly girl was off her oxygen and her jaundice light was removed.
Bryce's oxygen was bumped up.

Day 8 Bryce is now down to 3 liters of high flow and will be removed in a day or two from all oxygen and Iv's. Lilly IV's bumped up but she is not far behind from getting her Iv's also removed. Also Bryce can now wear clothes.

Bryce started out with 5cc of breastmilk and is now at 25cc but will be bumped 5 cc more every 8 hours till he is maxed at 45cc. My poor Lilly since her belly is so small only gets 3 cc of mommys milk every 3 hours till she gains some weight.

So after the next few days as soon as all Iv's and all oxygen is off they get to come out of their incubators and back to their normal beds were we have to see if they can maintain their own temperatures. If they can Bryce will be home in a week and Lilly in about 3 weeks after she packs on more weight.


Lillyana and Bryce Mommy and Daddy love you so much and we are proud of you both!

My Birth Story

My day started off as any other normal Tuesday morning Jan 24, 2012, I get up and head over to my doctors appointments at the perinatal unit for my ultrasound and monitoring. Well this morning turned into a day I never expected.

After I was done with the ultrasound the doctor reviewed everything and said he is concerned that Lilly didn't have any fluids left and her blood flow was poor and that 1 of 2 things was going to happen. I was either going to be admitted or I was delivering tonight. After much discussion with my OB and another doctor there at that office they thought it was best to deliver or should could possibly die. So of course I called Doug and without trying to scare him told him the news and he flew over to the hospital so darn fast. Me I was calm as can be it just shot my BP up to 160/100.

So I left the perinatal unit and headed up to see my OB where he tells me the plans and what he wanted to do and that was to deliver these babies at 7:15 by emergency c-section. Not what I wanted but I knew it may happen and I was prepared for it.
So now I head up to labor and deliver and was hooked up, everyone arrived and just waited.
I got my epidural and wow that sucker hurt!
Right at 7:15 I was wheeled down to the operating room and of course then I begin to feel sick from the epidural but pulled through till my babies were born at 7:32 Bryce Connor 5 lbs 1 oz 18 inches and 7:34 Lillyana Kay 2 lbs 14 oz 15.5 inches.
At first I didn't hear any cries on Bryce but that was because his cord was wrapped around his neck and couldn't breath but as soon as it was removed and gone he cried away. As soon as Lilly came out she cried liked a champ. Doug didn't get to cut Bryce cord because of his situation but did cut Lillys cord.

After I was all sutured up I went to recovery room and was there for an hour but it didn't seem like it. I then got wheeled to the nursery to see my little ones before sent to my room.

They very next morning I was up and moving around like nothing ever happen to me. So I headed down to the NICU where my precious gifts from god were at and stayed with them and haven't left since.

They Are Here!
