My girls were born at 35 1/2 weeks. Sara's water broke at 32 weeks, but for

whatever reason it sorta sealed back up for 3 more weeks. I was pretty

scared when I was put into the hospital at 32 weeks. They took us down to

the NICU and we looked at little little babies. Thankfully, our girls were

big (5 lbs and 6 lbs).

still here/questions

Hello everyone;

I have been very busy lately and haven't been keeping up with my

e-mails. Marc & ; your children are beautiful and your house is

too!!! I am glad that all survived the hurricane. Kim; I am still working

on permission to give you Jill's e-mail address. Judi, I will be praying

for your boys....I'm sure all will go well. Sara G; was that

collage every created?....I wouldn't mind buying a couple off of you if it

did happen. I am curious how many moms out their gave birth to their

multiples earlier then 30 weeks? Judi, no need to reply; I know that yours

were 26.5 weeks. I am just wondering if there are any others out there that

have had their multiples as early as Judi and I did.

and (DS) were born in May at a day short of 35 weeks

weighing in at 5.14 and 3.7 respectively. He was in the NICU for five

days and then transferred to pediatrics for one more day. She was in

the NICU 27 days and they made us take an infant CPR class before we

could take her home.

Just wanted to add that they were delivered early because the dr was

concerned about the weight discrepancy between the two.

I remember that CPR class. When we took Ashton home, I was scared to

death.The NICU can be such a scary place. We were there a lot and my

babies were two of the more healthier babies but the monitors and some

of the babies coding was so frightening. Both of mine came home on

apnea monitors. Did anyone else have the apnea monitors? The doctors

didn't want to give one to Ashton but I told them that she was on it

until the day that she left NICU and I wanted one. They told us that we

would probably have to pay for it out of our pockets because the

insurance wouldn't pay for it if they couldn't justify a need. I told

the doctors that I knew that they could write enough in her records to

justify a need. We came home on a monitor and the insurance payed every

dime of it. When we went to NICU followups, the doctors would ask if

mom was ready to wean off the monitors.(lol) They were on the monitors

for six months and at least I rested easy whenever they weren't going

off. I remember waking up at night to see if the monitors were

working. Which was crazy because the alarm on the monitors could wake

the dead.Paranoid mom or what? It took our dog several months to bond

with the babies because of those monitors. She was shocked when we

brought the first baby home and the the second one. It was her turf and

on top of that babies that beep! Poor dog, its a wonder she didn't have

a heart attack. Everytime the monitors would go off, she would shoot

behind the couch. Prematurity and NICU brings back a lot of memories

and we still stop into visit the staff. As I write this , I realize how

fast the past year has gone by.

,

Thanks for trying to get Jill's permission. Our twins were born at 35 wks to

the day. I did go into advanced labor at 30 wks but they put me in the

hospital and was able to keep them in for 5 more weeks. They induced labor at

35 wks because I developed H.E.L.P. Syndrome and pre-eclampsia.
