FaithManor Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks to all who have been praying and sending good thoughts to the twins. Momma is doing okay, but twin A couldn't wait any longer. They were able to stop her labor before twin B got into trouble so he is still in utero, however momma doesn't tolerate the drugs to stop labor all that well so if the starts contracting again, they'll be delivering twin B. Twin A's initials are D.J. H weighed 2 lbs. 2 oz. and is 13 3/4 inches long. He was breathing on his own, plump in the cheeks, and pink. The doctors are REALLY pleased. He's being ventilated and given oxygen but in the 10 hrs. since his delivery, he has required less assistance than would normally be expected. I'd post pics but I haven't talked to either parent personally and would not want to do that without permission. Suffice it to say, he does not have what I thought would be a typical micro-preemie look. To me he looks a bit like an American Girl Doll Bitty Baby. I'll keep everyone apprised of any new developments. Again, thank you soooooo much! Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hooray! I will keep praying! (So they are twins, but will have different birthdays. That's kind of cool.) I was thinking the same thing. My friend had twins and one was born on Dec 31, 1999 and the other about an hour later on Jan 1, 2000. They have different birthdays, years and centuries. Keep us updated on the babies. I'll keep them and mom in my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Such great news! So, was he born the old fashioned way? I didn't know that you could birth a baby and then not birth the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmichigan Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Awesome news! hopefully these twins can be wierd ones with birthdays far far apart :iagree: Continuing to send good thoughts their way...

Whereneverever Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Such great news! So, was he born the old fashioned way? I didn't know that you could birth a baby and then not birth the other.

Brigitte Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Praying for both babies and their parents. My twins were born at 27.5 weeks. I had hoped to deliver one and keep the other baking for a while, but the one in distress was not the one first presenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewellsmommy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow! That is amazing! I hope twin 2 can hold on a little longer and that mom can tolerate it well. I'll be praying for everybody. I'm so glad to hear that baby DJ is doing so well. I'm sure he'll be glad to play the "I'm days/weeks older than you" card as they get older. :lol: That will surely confound some people :D. Keep us updated please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That's a good size for 26 weeks! She's doing a good job basting the chickens! We'll keep praying! It's going to be pretty cool to be a twin that is born on a different birthday. People are going to be puzzling over that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuff Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Twins can have different amniotic sacs and separate placentas. :001_smile: Right.
