My Twins are Here! PIP

MrsNukem

My little miracles came 1 week earlier than expected last Tuesday April 23rd at 36w1d.  I developed a complication which I won't go into b/c it's a very long story but OB didn't want to wait 6 more days to deliver.  Samuel Vincent born at 5 lbs 14 oz, 19 inches long.   Lillian Mary born at 5 lbs 1 oz, 18 inches long.  They are both in lower level NICU to learn the whole feeding thing, Sam is taking his bottles like a champ.  Lily likes to sleep through her feedings so she is getting mostly tube fed.  Once they can take all bottles straight for 24 hours then they can be released.  Other than learning to feed, they are very healthy otherwise and are already back to birth weight and gaining.

I was just released on Sat.  I had a lot of swelling post c-sec and could barely move my hands and legs.  And no one told me about how constipated I would be from the pain meds but OMG I thought I was going to die from being all plugged up.  Thankfully after getting some meds I was able to make a BM and felt sooo much better, LOL.  My uterus is still very big from having twins so I'm wearing a belly binder to keep everything from jiggling around, highly recommend getting one from the hospital!
