The first month with Troy and Brody

Troy Allen while in the NICU

Well I wanted to try this and see if it would help in getting through my day as a, well you know, Mom Of Twins At 26. I may not have time to write everyday or even every week, but when I can blog I can garantee it will be entertaining. From me talking about the things I have found work when two babies are crying and you are ready to just scream to my husbands mishaps when he has to take care of the boys by himself for 2 or 3 hours.

I want to give you a quick re-cap on my pregnancy and all the things I went through from the beggining. I went in for a routine check up visit to the Dr. on a Tuesday at 31 weeks and 4 days. My Doctor was out of town (probly running another marathon, that I had to hear about and be reminded of just how fat I was with all the picture around his office of the ones he has finished) so I had to see a coleuge of his right accross the hall. SO ass I'm called back to see the nurse for her to weight me, I see the scale just keep going and going and the I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it said 225 lbs. NOOOOOO......close the door and shut the curtains I don't want to see the light. The nurse gives me a a little look and I wanted to say, yea your right your thinking the right thing I might have had a few taco's and burgers, but you put two boys in your stomach and work up till the day and see if you don't eat something you didn't want to. I take a seat by her computer and then she puts the dreadful brood pressure machine on me and yes just as she expected it was very high....So high the nurse and the Doctor gave each other a little looksy. I go into a room with my mom, who had joined me on my visit this day because I should add in this real wuick that I am DEATHLY AFRAID of hospital's and evrything that goes with it, I get on the table and wait...and wait....and wait.... I've alwys wondered if they do this for effect. you know the waiting<>

Im in my room and they come to do all my test, and I might add that the nurses thought that my family was crazy cause at any given time there was 7 people in my room and another 5 in the waiting room. So we get through all the crying while they put in the IV and all the other crazy things they have to do when you are pregnant and so long story short my blood pressure goes up more and more for 2 days, my water breaks the second night in the hospital and they finally do an emergency C-section. The epidural was another adventure and i'm not so sure I could do it again, I might add I asked my mom if it was possible to have a natural birth with twins because I was so scared about the epidural, needless to say she laughed at me.

So after the C-section I see the boys in the surgery room and then they wisk them away to the NICU......little did I know if was fixing to be a long 1st month with daily visits to the NICU just to get to hold my two little men.......But that will be another BLOG in itself.....
