Ok, now that things have quieted down I'll give you the whole story...
Monday Suzi started having a lot of contractions that seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. The shots that the doctors gave her seemed to stop them for a while, but they always came back. The doctors or nurses never expressed much concern about actually delivering last night attributing the contractions to the dramatic change in barometric pressure. So even after she had lost her mucus plug about 10:00 there was not enough concern to have me go down and spend the night at the hospital with Suzi.
As I've been able to tell from when Suzi is somewhat conscious the contractions came back about 1:00 to a point that they woke her up. The Doctor was called and she said to go ahead and start the paperwork for admitting to labor and delivery. She called me about 2:05am to go ahead and head to the hospital and by the time I got here at 2:50 the babies had already been born. (I paced in the hall waiting for them to bring the babies out, but becausee it was an emergency c-section they would not let me into the operating room anyway) It was an emergency C-Section as the babies had somehow turned around and were breach, but all went well and Suzi and the babies are resting now. Suzi is expected to be in the hospital 4 more days to be released on Saturday, the babies are expected to be in NICU for 2 months – generally they stay until they are at the gestational age, which is March 26th

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the new little ones! We are very thankful that everyone's ok. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI was just showing the pics to Maija (and refreshing her memory on who everyone is). She wanted to know when we are going to see the babies and was very concerned that we missed Dotty's bday. She said, "ooooo the babies and Dotty - maybe we can go in the car and drive really fast to see them!!!"
