Pics: Audrey with D after being fed. Brooke in her car seat on the way home. K with mom in front of door sign (if you enlarge it you can see all of their info-thanks Crystal T. for the neat penmenship)We did not get the finish the poll, but we went with the leader as of Monday. So welcome Audrey Elizabeth and Brooke Elise.
This will be a quick posting, but just wanted to get a few things out. K went for her nonstress test on Monday, November 12 and basically the doctor thought a few things looked "suspicious" and that Brooke may be under some unknown stress. So at 1:30pm we were told that we would be having the babies at 4pm. Thank heavens that D was already there...though he had to go back home, get stuff, and be back in time for the c-section. He made it back by 3:30 (and did not get a speeding ticket!!) and we were into the operating room by 4:30. The girls arrived at 5:00 and 5:01 and all were surprised at what a huge weight difference there was. They were less than an inch apart in height, but Brooke outweighed Audrey by over 2 1/2 lbs!! (yes everyone has made jokes about Brooke stealing all of Audrey's food) Even though they were small, they are absolutely adorable..and if you don't believe us, you can ask my sister and our parents!! My sister got some great pics of the weighing and all the immediate stuff (which I will get from her and share later). The girls were in the NICU but mainly just for temperature regulation and to gain weight...they did not have any tubes or any of that scary stuff.
K and D were discharged from the hospital on Friday (they let us stay an extra day since the girls were there) and Brooke was discharged on Saturday!! Audrey is still in the NICU, but she is doing fantastic. Her temperature is already at the set point (though she won't leave the incubator until she weighs more) and her weight is now up to 4 lbs, 1.6 oz (she is a really great eater!) Hopefully she will be home in a week....by that time, we will have just now adjusted to having one baby and can start the whole cycle again with both!
We are so thankful that they are doing great (thanks to all of you who have been faithfully praying for us) and we can't wait for everyone to meet them!
