They are Here!

Well the twin girls are finally here.

Ruth Lois was born at 4:17 pm Jan 20th. She weighed 5 lbs 13 ozs and 17 1/2 inches long.

Irene Marlyn was born at 4:20 pm Jan 20th and she weighed 6 lbs 4 ozx and 17 1/2 inches long. Both girls are doing great and so am I.

It was cute to watch Dillon and Jennilyn get introduced to the girls today. Dillon actually wanted to hold them more then once.

38 weeks

Here I am at 38 weeks. The c-section is scheduled for Tues Jan 20 at 330pm.

Take care,

still waiting again

Well the Dr just sent me home and scheduled me for a c-section on Tuesday Jan 20Th at 330 pm pacific time. I feel a little scared as I have not had a c-section before. Dan's job got changed so this is good he doesn't go to Utah until the end of next week so that is good at least he will be here when the twins are born.

I felt a little frustrated because they kept telling me full term for twins is 36 weeks, but the Dr said they couldn't do anything until I was 38 weeks which I will be on Sunday. I almost feel like they are treating me like a single baby and not twins. I was told that the twins are weighting in at 7 lbs, which if that is tree the preemie cloths that I got at my baby shower most likely won't fit.

Well I will post sometime after the twins are born.

Still Waiting

Well I am 37 weeks along right now I will be 38 on Sunday. We had an ultrasound done yesterday and baby A is still breached so when we see the Dr today we will be setting a c-section. After the drive home from my appointment yesterday I have hardly been able to walk. I have a feeling that when we go to the Dr's today that they will send us over to the hospital next door and get this over with. I don't have regular contractions, but I have been having some contractions over the last 2 days. I am hoping to have the babies by Saturday night as Dan leaves out of town Sunday morning to fly to Utah for a job Monday and won't be back until Monday night.

We had a good Christmas. We got up and had breakfast and then we got my parents on the web cam and they got to see the kids open their gifts. They have loved playing with the kitchen set that I had gotten for them. If they had gotten nothing else for Christmas they would have been happy. My parents then drove from Kenniwick WA that afternoon and I finally got to see them. I saw each of them separately this summer, but I hadn't seen both of them together since they had come to WI 17 months ago for the baby blessing of Jennilyn. They stayed for a few days and then they came back with my aunt Peggy and her girls for a baby shower that my sister in law did for me. My mom has stayed to help with the kids and be here when the twins are born. I really appreciate her help. My dad went to Utah with Grandma and Grandpa and won't be back until the end of January so my mom is staying until then. I feel so lucky to have her come to stay so long.

Well hopefully we will be posting some pictures of the twins really soon.
Until then.
