Twins are home!!!

Sawyer and Sophia came home today! We are so happy not to be spending 16+ hours a day at the hospital! They love their new room and seem to have settled in!!

At the hospital

Sophia and Sawyer are here born February 26, 2009!!! They both spent 9 days in the NICU. They are a blessing from above!!

Sawyer had a few issues but is great now! Sophia spent her time in the NICU learning how to eat and gaining weight!

Thank you all for your prayers!

33 1/2 week update!!

We are still holding strong and doing wonderful... The babies are growing. Baby girl weighs in at 3 lbs 15 ounces, Baby boy weighs in at 4 lbs 7 ounces. Dr. Nilson is still very concerned about baby girl. Yesterday he guessed we would have these babies within the next 2 weeks. He said baby girl will determine when they will arrive. She must take after her Mom in a hurry all the time and ready to be born! We are hoping to put some additional weight on her before she makes her debut into this world.

Bed rest is still bed rest... it's not fun but it's better me here than them in the NICU. Richard is taking AWESOME care of me and he almost has the nursery finished. I hope to post nursery pictures soon.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers!!!

31 1/2 week update!

Everything is still moving along.... We are status quo and doing well- almost to our next goal!! We went and had belly shots taken over the weekend, I thought I would share them with you!

I also included one of the family from left (Steffi our German exchange daughter, Kelsa, Me, Mollie, and my wonderful husband).

Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

30 1/2 week update!

Things are staying the same which is a great thing! Cervix is still funneling and open. Baby girl's fluid is still low but not getting lower! Baby boy measures 3 lbs 1 ounce and Baby girl weighs 2 lbs 13 ounces. I continue the bed rest and continue to cook these little babies as long as I can!!!

Thank you all for your continued prayers - they are working!!!

I'll update with belly pictures soon.

28 1/2 weeks!! We made it!

We can take a deep breath now, we passed the 28 week mark. The babies now have a 92% chance of survival. Our new goal is 32 weeks!! I know we can make it! This week at our weekly appointment baby girls amniotic fluid was low, this means I continue to rest and continue to drink more water!!! Everything with my cervix is status quo, so this means the bed rest is working! I also had my gestational diabetes test and this test came back negative! WOO HOO!!!

I still continue to feel absolutely wonderful and I feel very fortunate to have made it this far. We are still trying to decide on baby boys name, hopefully this is something we can figure out soon.

Weekly Update!

We visited Dr. N today. He said everything is status quo, said we are looking perfect and we are counting down to 28 weeks. He also said baby girl will be a small baby but she will be just fine. I felt great after our checkup today!! One week at a time... The prayers are working!!!
