Hope you feel better!!
Jo - don't worry! William only ever rolled from his back to his tummy. Never really figured out how to go from tummy to back (unless he lost his balance). He's crawling and pulling himself up fine. He just didn't seem interested in that mode of movement.
And thanks for all the congrats! I think I'm still just a bit stunned. Had to go down the shops and get some folic acid and such. Thankfully an ad came on TV an reminded me I needed to start taking it.

Hey ladies, sorry it took me forever to get back on here. Raising twins is exhausting. I can't believe my babies will be 6 weeks old on Wednesday already! Well here is my birth story as promised!
My C-section date was January 23rd. The weekend before new years my stomach had just been bothering me and felt achey. Then on new years eve literally at 12:02 I had a pain and a lot of pressure in my vagina which went as quickly as it came. The next day I still had the achey feeling and was continuing to have the Braxton hicks I was having for weeks. On Wednesday I was 35 weeks. Every 2 weeks I has been going in for preterm labor scans at a clinic my Dr was sending me to. My last one was supposed to be 34 weeks but because of the holiday I had one the day I turned 35 weeks. I went to my appt and they hooked me up to the contraction belt. The woman had told me that I had 7 contractions in 45 min and I should call my dr. It was weird though because aside from my stomach feeling a little tight it was just like the Braxton hicks I had been feeling for weeks. We called up my doctor and he said grab your bags and go to the hospital and we'll see whats going on. DH and I both got frantic at that point because we were still supposed to have 3 more weeks till my csction. We arrived at the hospital around noon. They put me on the contraction belt and started giving me fluids because they all were convinced my contractions were just from something like dehydration. And of course just like when you take your car to the mechanic, my contractions had subsided. Though that didn't last long. My contractions kicked back into high gear and I sat there as my dh and mom kept asking me did you feel that as they climbed higher and higher. Odd thing was I didn't. I just kept feeling that tightening. After 2 bags of fluid, I guess they kind of assumed they weren't helping because my contractions kept progressing. My doctor came in to check if I was dialated and I was at 3cm...I was at 1 cm less then a week before. At that moment the dr said looks like its baby day. I immediately burst into tears. I was so overwhelmed. I was really excited and scared all at the same time because they were 5 weeks early. I had to wait like 2 hours after that to go in for my csection because I had ate earlier that morning. They ended up taking me earlier then they were supposed to because my doctor was afraid of my water breaking. As they were getting me ready to go in I stayed true to my hormones and just kept crying. DH was so excited (and scared im sure) and my mom was right there with me up until the moment I went in. Before I knew it I was walking down the hall to the operating room .I walked in and let me tell you those tables are not as big as they are on tv! I was having a spinal and I was super nervous. I kept asking if it was going to hurt and they said and IV was worse. So the doctor went to administer my spinal and it definitely pinched but I started to relax. With that he stuck me again and I almost jumped off the table. He was like oh you cant move and I wanted to be like you could've told me you were sticking me again. With that I actually felt him moving the needle around in my back. In a split second my right leg shot out and I got the worst pain I ever experienced shooting down it and I let out a yell...2 seconds later it happened again but even worse and I started to cry. He said he mustve hit a membrane (aka he messed up). He told me to lay down and I would start to feel numb up to my belly button. Of course he was being as sweet as pie at the time because he knew he had messed up. So I felt my legs getting numb and it creeped up and it got to my belly button like the dr said but it just didn't stop there...it went into my chest and my arms. I said to him I cant breathe...he was like what do you mean you cant breathe I said my chest is numb he said you feel in your chest what you feel in your legs and I said yes and he yelled for someone to turn it down. (Mistake number 2 they had clearly given me too much) with that I got instantly nauseous and started throwing up everywhere and they were trying to suction it out of my mouth so I didn't choke. DH wasn't even in there yet at this point. So needless to say before they even cut me open it was quite tramatic. DH got in and they started the surgery after they got me all situated. My son Colin came out first and the second I heard him cry my life literally changed forever. Lily came out 30 seconds and I felt the same way all over again. They were both born at 5:39 PM on January 2nd. Colin was 4lbs 12oz and Lily was 4lbs 7oz I didn't get to hold them or really even see they because they were both brought right down to the NICU. In the NICU they both needed assistance with breathing and eating. Lily went down to 4lbs and Colin went down to 4lbs 6oz. Colin spent 10 days in NICU and Lily spent 19. It was so hard to leave her there when Colin left. Having babies in NICU is heartbreaking and exhausting. Especially when one leaves. The babies are doing much better now they will be 6 weeks on Wednesday. As of 2 weeks ago Colin was 6lbs 4oz and today Lily was 5lbs 14oz. Lily still has some issues. She went back into the ER 2 days after she was home because in the NICU she started having and issue where she stopped breathing when she was feeding. Because she was premature she doesn't have her whole suck swallow breathe down. They let her go home but she continues to have some of these episodes at home. They are super scary but shes seeing a specialist and they are getting better. Hope all you ladies are doing well. I will post pictures later on!!!

Oh wow haj!! what an amazing and scary story. I've heard of them giving too much and it affecting the breathing before. I am so happy to hear that you have both colin and lily home. it sounds like they are both gaining weight well. I can't imagine how scary and stressful the whole thing was. I'm glad you are all doing well and look forward to seeing pictures!!

Beautiful pics Skeet!
Congratulations Wilsey!!!
Congratulations on the arrival of your twins Haj! Thank-you for telling us you story- how scary. Glad they are doing well!
AFM- Iain has cut two of his bottom teeth and is working hard on the top two. He figured out how to bum scoot so he either does that or log roll to get where he wants to go. He is able to stand holding onto something for about a minute.
