Birth story in pictures....

The day before 32 weeks 5 days.... shower day!!

Daddy preparing moments before c-section.....

Cash Michael....

Livy James and her daddy's hand...

More to come later.....tomorrow we start extended care and hope to bring two healthy growing babies home with us!!!

What the wades have been doing?

Hospital...hospital...hospital..

Cash back to birth weight. Livy James gained another ounce last night and is over her birth weight.

Cash had rough feeding last night and his oxygen sats dropped into 80's...momma bear refused to leave until baby boy looked better...nurse called doctor ski....he ordered labs and cultures and restarted his IV and antibiotics. Today he was his sweet little self and fed pretty good at his bottle feeding attempt. Livy James sucked the whole bottle down...35 cc in 10 minutes...she only needed short breather in middle!

Can't wait to make the hour and 15 minute drive tomorrow!!!!

I will post pictures when i slow down long enough to sit at the lap top.

Our lives revolve around car rides to drop Laila off, pick her up, and visit our other two babies....I'm not complaining. God has blessed us with 3 children to watch over , comfort, protect, and love....that has to be a blessing even though I'm exhausted...

They are here...

It's been busy, happened rather quickly, yet we had plenty of time to ready ourselves....full story to come....

But Monday January 2, 2012 @10:29&10:30 pm....it was finally time...no stopping the contractions after trying all that was left up our sleeves since noon that day....

By cesarean section....Cash Michael & Livy James arrived!

4lbs 3 oz and 17 inches ------Cash
3 lbs 14 oz and 17 inches------Livy James

Crying after delivery....what a beautiful sound to my ears!!!!!

God continues to bless our ever growing family...so thank you for all the prayers....and please keep them coming! It's working and I feel it everyday!

NYE, 32 weeks &4days...thankful

On the last day of 2011....

I wake up to two squirming babies...and my husband sleeping quietly on the 'couch' in labor&delivery for the 13th day in a row.....and as difficult as theses days have been...

Being away from Laila, missing Christmas totally, spending a total of 33 days on strict bed rest ...19 of which have been in hospital...

I find myself thankful....

Thankful that Laila has handled this like a champ...
Thankful Justin has a job that allows him to be here with me( remind me of this when he is so busy I never see him come summer and I have two babies to care for)...
Thankful to still have a great big ole belly full of growing babies...
Thankful my health is good despite the bed rest and medications I've had to take...
Thankful for loving supportive families that Justin and I have....
Thankful for all of God's blessings...

I hope everyone else is as thankful for the things they have bu most importantly the life they are blessed with. As the clock strikes midnight tonight and 2011 is gone and 2012 arrives...I'm not certain if I'll still have two blessings growing in my tummy...but I sure hope so.... No matter what, I'm going to be thankful for ALL the prayers we have received and blessings our family has witnessed this year!


Here is to a Happy New Year and a bright 2012 to come!

And another day in the books...

Well last night I slept like a champion....didn
T take any of that horrible morphine thnk goodness for contractions....took a sleeping pill instead prwscribed by doc...I slept from 9:30-8/20 this morning. My nurse only had to wake me up once to empty my bladder bcauase I had 6 cntx that hour...

I must admit I woke up feeling crummy! Nose has been sooo stopped up for last few days...I has cried of and on two days and o chalked it up to that...but I haven't cried since yesterday afternoon and generally didn't understnd why I was feeling so crummy!!! Justin woke sniffling and I still had the headache I was certain would go away once I rested....then it hit me.....


3 days ago we got these beautiful flowers from the women's association that's affiliated with my husband line of work.....they were beautiful...and fragrant...a-HA! When I woke feeling especially crummy after another two hour nap this morning.....I sat up to eat lunch feling nauseated , miserable, stopped up, headache...I told my husband.....take those flowers to the hallway!! Literally in 15 minutes my nose began running, mynhead clearer....and now I can honestly say I am feeling great again....you know as great as a woman whose belly is taking over her body slowly....


I'm thankful it appears we are putting another day down...and I'm hopeful that we might just get 2012 babies!!!!

And another day in the books...

Still boring posts without photos...but I'm electronicallynvhallanged among mobility challenged.

We Made it another 24 hours without being delivered.....

Twins had an active night.
Their tracing looked good on the monitor and
I finally rested some after I took a sleeping pill.

Waiting on doctor. Come right now.

As well as my nurse with some more pain meds...I'm nearbannoyed stage!

A milestone....

32 weeks!!! For so long I've held onto hope that I would just make it to 32 weeks...now I'm here....and we are thankful to god that we are...BUT now that I'm here....I find myself praying for more....

So here are stats...

Currently 32 weeks.
Holding by his grace at 3 cm /90%
baby boy still very low and determined to be first to meet us.
Today's US weights
Baby boy 3 lbs 15 oz
Baby girl 4 lbs 1 oz
They have received their two doses of steroids
I'm still on praocardia every 4 hrs
But today is last day that dr B is willing to let me continue brethine on top of the Procardia....he says that the risk for pulmonary edema for me is too high...he says that at this point with twins it would likelynjustbtake one dose and I could have full blown pulmonary edema.
Sooo, now we have to wait, and pray.
I plan to set a new rcors for how many days one woman can go without washing my hair, at this point. That isn't something that I want to do....it stirs too much uterine activity....last stretch was 8 days!!! Yikes! And I would now say that I'd gladly go 8 or more days wihtout washing my hair if I could get 8 ,ore days with these precious babies in my tummy!!!!!

For now....waiting. Praying and after a big ole' cry as I accept the reality that this is sooo far from my control ....I am attempting to let go of the me of this and placing my sweet babies back into God's hands...because they have long sense been far too heavy for me to carry!

Until then...
