Twins arrival

Weds Feb 25th. I went to work at Costco today, and Jill called
me at 4:50pm and said she thought maybe her water broke so she was going to the hospital.
I quickly dashed from work and meet her, my mom & dad, Jill's parents and Sarah. Jill's water did break and around 6:30 her ob Dr. Gorelick said get ready. So at 7:05pm
Vanessa Elizabeth arrived then Nicholas Charles Tanner. She weighed 5 lbs 10 oz , 19.5 inches long and he came in at 6 lbs 11 oz, and 19.75 inches long. Daddy and Noni were in the delivery room with Jill. I saw Dr. Gorelick earlier today at Costco maybe it was an omen that they were coming. Sarah was thrilled to see her siblings she only held Vanessa since Nicholas was still in nursery when she went to Grammy and Poppys for a sleep over. Jills brother Ted and Heather
visitied us at the hospital. Hopefully Mom and the twins are resting now I left Jill at 11:30pm
since I work tomorrow and needed to get home to pack stuff for Sarah and mommy. I will post some more pics tomorrow its 1:15am and I need some sleep I work at 6:30am at Longs.

36 wks 5 days

Went to my weekly appt again this week. Still no babies!! Everything is going fine. My C-section is scheduled for March 5th at 10:30am. I could go before but I seriously doubt I will. I haven't been feeling very good today but the Dr. said to just take it easy. The longer they are in me the better off they will be with feeding. I tried to get him to take them sooner, but he didn't go for it.

My wonderful Sister-in-Law is coming down next Thursday to help me! I am so greateful! My mom and Tim are allowed in the OR with me (that should be interesting). I am planning on going home Sunday and then Tim will be off until Wednesday of that week just so I can get a little help with the babies. After that Sarah will go to school Wednesday and Thursday and then my mom is off on Friday-Monday to help me. And I am sure I will have some dirty toilets for her to clean!! :-)

Sarah is getting excited for the babies to come. I think she is a little un-sure about what is really going to happen. She asked me the other day if I will still be her mommy when the babies come. I said of course, I will always be your mommy. The things their little brains think of. I beleive she will spend the night at my IN-Laws the day the babies come. That way Tim can stay at the hospital late and try to get a good nights sleep that night. Since my SIL will be around, Sarah will love that!! Next week is going to be a busy one. But it can't come soon enough!!

If anythng happens before then, we will update the blog.

34 weeks 6 days

Well I had to go to the Dr. today. I have had a headache off an on for the past two days. I figured it being a Friday, I should just call and ask him what I can do for it. Of course I had to come in to have my blood pressure checked. That was fine. He said to look for swelling overnight and seeing stars. If I get any of that to call right away and have my blood pressure checked again. I am at risk for getting pre-eclampsia, a condition in pregnant women that could endanger her if not treated. The only way to treat her is to deliver the baby. Hopefully I will not get that. He said I need to rest more. I was able to fall asleep for a bit when I got home.

We are wondering when these babies are going to come. Tim says February 20th. I say February 25th. My mom thnks any day now. Only time will tell. I see both Dr.'s Tuesday.

Valentine Party

The teachers at Sarah's school invited me to come to the Valentine Party today. When I got there they were handing out their cards. I was so impressed as to how well behaved these kids were. I have worked in a daycare type atmosphere and these kids were very well behaved. They waited for their turn to hand out their cards. After that they had an ice cream bar with all the essentials, ice cream, chocolate syrup, carmel syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream, cookies, brownies, and cupcakes. It was quite a spread at 10:00 in the morning! They all enjoyed the treat. After that it was play time. I had to leave after that to go to the Dr. I was the only parent that came and I am glad I did. Sarah was so happy when I got there.

Sarah in "circle time" again sitting between two boys! Andreas is the blond one away from her to the left. I didn't know that was him or I would have gotten his face. For those of you who don't know, Andreas is her "boyfriend."

Nursery


Letters that Susan made for the walls.


She did such a good job!



The cribs



Susan came over Saturday to help me make the cribs and put some stuff away. I so appreciated it. I would have not been able to lift up the matresses myself. I think the room is looking great! I have yet more clothes to wash and put away still. I also need to set up the changing table. Tim needs to move the tv (yes there is a tv in the nursery for when I am up at all hours feeding the babies!). We still need to get the swings out of the garage and the bouncy seats out and clean them. But I think we are pretty much ready.

34 wks 3 days

I am nearing the end, finally! I went to the doc yesterday and everything looks good. He said I should stop working, so I have. Starting today I am on maternity leave. I am glad about that but hope the babies come soon so I don't spend all my time with no babies. This week I have Sarah in school all week. Next week she will be home with me. I am hoping she doesn't get too bored. We can't go gallavanting around town too much. But I was thinking of doing a few play dates with some friends and maybe going to the library to get some books or movies. We can also go to the park or she can ride her boke while I watch. SO there are things we can do. She loves to help me with the baby stuff so that is a lot of help.

The babies weigh over 10 pounds together. One is 5 pounds and one is 5.2. So they are good weights. If they get to 5 1/2 pounds that would be great! The doc said I could go at anytime. But I still have March 5th scheduled. So hopefully they come in the next 2-3 weeks. My blood pressure was okay, it is creeping up there though. I am feeling a lot of pressure but it is because Nicholas is head down waiting to make a mad getaway!

Well that is all for now. I think it may be time for a little nap before I go get Sarah from school. I will update more as I hear more.

Contractions

So today was not so fun. I started having contractions this morning, didn't think any thing of it. Then I realized they were pretty much every half hour. I thought well that is odd, so I started writing them down. They were coming anywhere between 15 min to an hour. Finally at about 2:00, I called my OB. Told him the situation and he ordered me to go home and rest. I told him at work I sit all day. He said he didn't care, I needed to rest. He called in a prescription for terbutline. Thiswill relax my uterus and hopefully stop the contractions. I am to take it if they become closer together. It is 6:30 and so far they have stopped. Haven't had one since 4:30ish. As long as I am not having any tomorrow, I will go to work. I have a Dr.'s appt in the afternoon so they will check me when they do the ultrasound. No need to worry, I am okay. He will not deliver the babies until I am 36 weeks unless my water breaks or the labor cannot be stop. If the babies were to come now they would be okay, but would have to stay in the hospital until their lungs develop and they have their sucking reflex. So we want them to wait until 36 weeks. That is the update for today.
