They are one week old...

I cannot believe it has already been a week since they came into this world...our twins...

We are still kind of shocked that first we were able to conceive twins, but after all the precautions we took with my cervix, they still came early. To my obgyn and perinatologist we are a mystery...my body just likes to do its own thing...

But through all of this, we couldn't be happier to have them! They are truly our miracles including our rainbow baby Caleb...we have been through so much and finally God blessed us with 3 after 3 losses.

So on Sunday morning we received a call we did not want to get saying that our little Brayden had a tear in his intestines and had to have surgery. Of course I cried even though I knew this was a possibility. His first surgery...

They ended up putting a drain in so that all the bad stuff can come out and for them to be able to flush his system. Thankfully so far it's working but we need to wait to see if it heals properly bc if it does not heal well or even too well, they would have to go back in which can be worse for him. So now we wait and see...he had to have his breathing tube put back in which had come out a couple days after his birth.

My little Aiden is doing well...he also has a round belly, but according to x-rays no tear...thank goodness...but it can still happen which we pray will not...they stopped his feedings to see if it will settle down. They also tried again with PICC lines on Tuesday...they couldn't get it in him a few days before and he got stressed to the point that he stopped breathing for a bit...this time with the help of a specialist was able to get it in even though it wasn't in the location they were anticipating but at least now they don't ave to worry about trying to replace the IV.

Yesterday...technically...they had their first head ultrasound. The results showed that my little Brayden has a small bleed on the left side of his brain...the nurses assure me it will go away but need to speak with their primary doctor to get some details. Aiden on the other hand was normal so for him we don't have to worry about another scan til next month while Brayden needs another next week. We really do hope it's nothing.

So that was pretty much our days the last couple of days...until next time!
