So yesterday was the 4th of July, Happy 4th everyone!! The girls got to celebrate their first America day celebration by meeting their Uncle Aaron, Aunt Jenny, and cousin's Caleb & Ellie. We also attended a picnic at the Desrosiers house, and got to see lots of great people.
We had a great time at Pagi and Gigi's house. I hadn't seen some of the fam since March, so it was so awesome to see everyone. Emerae and Emmaline got spoiled like crazy being held ALOT of the day lol. and since other people were loving on our girls, i had fun coloring with Ellie boo :) were we ended up coloring the disney princess pictures for when she has babies. She had talked about this several times during the day, your 4 sweety, I think mommy and daddy want you to wait awhile haha.
The girls have their 2 month check-up next friday (the 15th) which includes shots for the girls, it's going to be really sad. Thankfully Tim gets to come with me because we made the appointment on a Friday which is Tim's usual day off. ALSO, the next friday (22nd) I made the girls first photo shoot appointment!!! I'm so excited for it! Now I have to go and buy some cute new outfits for the girls haha any excuse to buy cute things for them!! Here are some really awesome pics of Gigi and Pagi with the girs and some AMAZINGLY ADORABLE pictures of cousin Caleb holding BOTH of the girls, they're so cute, so we hope you enjoy!!
but we're gunna tell you anyways.....WE HAVE TWO BABIES!!!
As of May 11, 2011, at 7:38pm & 7:39pm Emerae Lane, and Emmaline Rose were birthed, not through the regular birth canal as we had hoped....but through what they call the C-section of my belly. Anyways, so we had them at 34 weeks and 5 days, and even though they were so early, everything in them was working splendidly. They were breathing on their own, and the only problem they had was regulating their body temps because of how small they were, which is a miracle! Emerae was the peanut of the two, and the reason they came so early.
In the left womb corner, weighing in at 3lbs 11.8oz.....EMERAE LAAAAAANE!!! In the right womb corner, weighing in at a whopping 4lbs 14.7oz.....EMMALINE ROOOOOOOOSE!! This weight difference is the whole reason they decided to join us so early.
Emmaline got to come home with us when I was discharged 4 days after they were taken through the C-section of my belly. Emerae spent almost 2 weeks in the NICU trying to get her body temp in check, and joined us at home almost a week ago. They are both amazingly awesome!! Eating like crazy now, upping their feeding sizes every other day!
As of their two week check-up Emerae was up to 4lb 6oz, and Emmaline was weighing in at 5lb 0.5oz. The doctor said they look great! They had to get their heels pricked, and it was heartbreaking.
They're 3 weeks old on Wednesday and we can't believe how quickly time has flown already. They have their one month appointment in about 2 weeks.
I know you all are clammering for pictures for pictures of our Peanut and Sweet Pea, well.......you should already have pictures....BUT if you don't already through the bookface or the twitters, here is a link to our amazing album!!
Well we're at 32 weeks and 4 days, almost 33 weeks down...yes!!!! We had a doctors appointment yesterday, and another ultrasound today. Not a whole lot to report from the doctors yesterday, I'm measuring at 38 weeks...ugh, and I'm feeling it, let me tell you lol. Now I go back in two weeks, and thats when she'll start checking my cervix (exciting right?! hah.) Today, at the ultrasound, as usual we get more fun news. Emerae (Baby A, the soon to be first born) weighs a small 3 lbs. 12 oz., and Emmaline (Baby B, soon to be second born) is a BIG girl at 4 lbs. 11 oz. There's almost a pound between them now, about 16%-17% difference, which is still within an acceptable range (as long as they're within 20% of each other). They were also both "practice breathing" which is obviously a great thing to see! On Emmaline's head we saw hair again!! No news on Emerae's head, she might be a baldy like I was when I was younger :) We got a profile shot, and 3D ok picture of Emerae's face, none of Emmaline, I'll have to have Tim put them up here later. More news in a week, which is what I'll be doing every week now. Yes, Ultrasound place every week to keep track of their fluid levels, movement, and doing stress tests and whatnot. So that equals more updates for you all!! haha well, until next Tuesday....hope you all had a wonderful Easter <3
So quick update for you all...We are possibly only 4 weeks away from meeting our girls!! That's the soonest we want them coming anyways. So 4-7 being the max!! I'm shooting for 5, I'll be 36 and everything with the girls would be good, because I'm sooo ready not to be pregnant anymore!! I just want to meet them too!! Only time will tell though. We have a doctors appointment a week from Monday, and then we have our Ultrasound the next day on Tuesday. Then, finally, we'll be starting every week appointments or every other week, I'm not sure what she said. Should be awesome though! Until then folks!!
So we had an Ultrasound and a doctors appointment today! We got to see our girls, unfortunately you all cannot, because they are too smooshed to get a good pictures now!! We got to see them though so I'm happy :D (sorry everyone else hah) We're super pumped too because at least one of them has HAIR on her head!! yay! Both girls are doing good on the weight track as well. One of them weigh 2 lbs. 11 oz. & the other girlie weighs 2 lbs. 7 oz. yes they are still different in weight, but they're within normal difference. The doctor said as long as they're within 20% of each other (my dad figured out about 10 oz.) then we're good. I think my OB was very happy with how much the girls weighed. As if she was slightly surprised how much they weighed lol. My tummy is also measuring at 31 weeks and I'm 28 weeks 4 days at the moment. So we go again in 4 weeks for both places, and then after that we start going every week or every other week, can't remember, OFTEN that's all i know! and then our girls will be here a few weeks after that!! ahhh anywhere between 3-6 weeks :)
the girls have been super active lately!! I spend a good portion of my day just sitting there watching my stomach move around. It's pretty sweet, at times pretty uncomfortable especially when they just PUSH!! like it's no ones business, just really uncomfortable, still sweet though. An amazing thing that happened tonight, tim was talking to them because they were movin' and groovin' around and had his nose against my tummy & one of the girls kicked it. It was so great. We're really excited though, because we have a doctors appt. and ultrasound on tuesday. So this coming up Tuesday we'll have new updates and pictures on how the girls are doing :)
This morning we went in ULTRA EARLY to the ULTRAsound place for our monthly appointment! Both the girls weigh in close, but not identically. One weighs 1lb.10oz, while the other is 1lb.12oz. The doctor said that this was within a normal difference in weight. We will be going back in three weeks, March 29th, which is the same day as our next regular Baby Doctor appointment.
Emerae and Emmaline were very cooperative today for the entire ultrasound... right up until the part where it was picture time... We still got to see each of their beautiful faces in 3D, but our one little bundles was trying to hide her face right next to a womb wall. Big Mistake! 3D ultrasounds SEE THROUGH those things! The pictures came out great. the one that looks like she has a crunched nose is the one who was hiding. Her nose is fine, but the picture looks a little muddied.
Take a look below at our beautiful little baby girls!
