Babies arrived!

[akcher]

My babies arrived on Sunday night. They were 34+5 weeks. My water broke at 4am. We tried to do a vaginal delivery. The boy was not handling the contractions well. His hb was dropping with each contraction. So after 14 hours of labor we decided to do a c-section. Alexander arrived first at 9pm weighing 5lb 2oz. Madeline followed at 9:03pm weighing 4lb 5oz. Both babies are doing great. They are breathing by themselves. Both still needs feeding tubes because they get tired to fast. Will post pics when I get home.

Oh, I am so happy to hear that they are doing well! Amazing!!! How long do you think they will have to be in? Are they bottle feeding at all? Are you able to put them to breast at all?? Sorry for all the questions...I am curious!

They are only feeding with the tube currently. My milk has not come in yet but I'm pumping every 2-3 hours. I also don't have any colostrum either. Hopfully I can breast feed them soon. For being born that early they are doing quite well. They are estimating 2-3 week stay at NICU.

Congratulations - that's fantastic news! Sound's very similar to how mine was (execpt I had to go straight for c-section because Tilly was breech)... because they had no problems breathing all we had to do was establish their feeding and then we could go... we were only in for a week!

Beautiful names too!
