Hello everyone! We hope you're all having a wonderful nice, long holiday weekend!
So sorry for the delay but things have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. The twins were born at 7:40 (Reese) and 7:42 (Madison) on Wednesday, June 23rd. The c-section went all as planned but as soon as Madison was out the discovered that she was having some issues breathing. We were told that this was fairly standard for a baby that was not totally full-term yet so we weren't too worried but it definitely wasn't as nice and smooth as we had hoped. They also took Reese directly to the nursery to observe here but she was later returned to our room. Poor Madison on the other hand was admitted it the NICU at the hospital. Her breathing was able to normalize fairly early on and she was taken off of the oxygen after a couple days which was wonderful. They then also allowed us to hold her and I was able to start nursing her which she did very well with. At the point she was just not able to keep her temperature up so they had to keep her until she could maintain it by herself for 48 hours. She was finally able to after about a week and was allowed to go home with us! We are so happy to have both of the girls and Brady now all at home! Things were really crazy while Madison was in the hospital. We were busy with Reese and trying to spend time with Brady while still making it up to the hospital to feed and spend time with Madison. Thank goodness my parents live close to the hospital because we ended up staying with them and they were a huge help in juggling everything!
The girls have been doing really good now that we're all at home. They've been eating and eating and sleeping and are really mellow babies just like Brady was. Brady loves his little sisters already. He's always trying to share with them and if he can't see one of them he lets us know that they are missing- it is really cute.
Brady also got his boot off last Thursday and it has been so great. He just loves being outside and is now able to spend tons of time playing out in his pool, sandbox and swing set. Summer fun for sure!
Tomorrow we take the girls in for their 2 week appointment so I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on their stats! Have a wonderful weekend!!!
I can't believe that the girls are already 2 weeks! Love the new photos of them.. they are so cute and look just alike! Brady looks like he is having lots of fun in his big water pool! Glad you all are all home and together! When we get back from vacation I want to come visit again! I'm impressed you had time to get a new blog post up... you are seriously SUPER MOM!
