Popular Post Amber in SJ Posted May 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2020 After a few days in the hospital, DD went into labor at 28 weeks and 2days. I hopped on a plane but they didn’t wait for Grandma and arrived via c-section before I did weighing 2lbs 10 oz each. Both started on a ventilator, but have since been moved to a NIPP-V, which is less invasive. No one can hold them yet and thanks to COVID protocols I don’t even get to see them in the NICU, but my Dd has been FaceTiming me so I can see them. One hates to be swaddled and wriggles herself free and then pulls her tiny hat off. She also removed her umbilical line so they had to put a tiny PICC line in her tiny arm. The other baby is more chill but doesn’t like the nasal cannula that comes with the NIPP-V and soon discovered if she repeatedly opens her mouth wide in a fake yawn she can work the little poky things out of her nose. photos are: Freya the Wiggly, Eliza the Calm and Eliza holding her Momma’s finger It is going to be a loooong Summer. Hopefully I will get to meet them sooner rather than later Amber in SJ 54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 they are so cute! Congratulations Grandma! 💗 My niece also has a baby in the NICU - born at 25 weeks. It was very scary the first couple of weeks but she is getting stronger everyday. Added to all that is the COVID protocols and baby being transferred to a non-covid hospital. I hope little Freya and Eliza continue to get stronger everyday and can come home sooner than expected. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenmom5 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Congratulations. They sound like some smart little girls. My niece wiggled around her incubator so much, she rubbed her feet raw. They did a C-section at 30 weeks because she tied her umbilical cord up in two (yes two) true knots. (so much for all the medical personnel that tell you that's impossible.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 For babies not even 3 lbs yet, they look fantastic! It's amazing how smart they are already with figuring out how to outsmart the doctors and nurses. Love the names, too! They are so darn cute! I think I've hit my exclamation quota for the day, but oh my, how seriously wonderful are they. 💗💗💗 Congratulations! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
