Twin Stats

Our precious girls were born on Monday, March 23, 2009 @ 33 weeks. Baby A- Vanessa Marie born at 3:08pm, 3lbs 4 oz, 15 1/4 in. long Baby B- Valerie Ryan born at 3:09pm, 3lbs 13 oz, 17 in. long If they would have stayed in my tummy a few more weeks, they really would have been big! They're not as small as you'd think. 3 pounds sounds tiny, but they look healthy, just small. They are doing really well. They aren't on breathing tubes, they're breathing oxygen on their own. They each have feeding tubes though. They're not quite ready to eat on their own. They will be in the NICU for a few more weeks. They just need to get bigger and stronger. So Ryan and I will be taking frequent trips up to the hospital to see them. The nurses have all been great at keeping us updated and letting us hold the girls during feeding time. They eat every 3 hours. All in all, we feel truly blessed that our girls are healthy and on a road to come home!! We love you Vanessa & Valerie!!
