Well...

I guess they were ready to be born. Baby A's water broke at 6 pm and they were born at 9:40 and 9:41 pm on Friday, April 27 at 31w3d by emergency c section.

Baby boy A is 3 lb 5 oz and 17 inches

Baby boy B is 3 lb 2 oz and 15.5 inches

(We were kind of taken by surprise, so they don't quite have names, yet.)

By all accounts, by a giant team of doctors and nurses, they are doing very well, all things considered. They came out crying. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get to the "big city" to have them, so they have now been taken there to the NICU while I'm stuck recovering at the local hospital for a while. My DH is going to follow them down soon. I'll go as soon as I am able.

I'm still a bit in shock about it all. They are beautiful and I miss them already.

We feel good about how things are going but could use all the good thoughts and prayers that you have!

    Oh my god!! Apparently these boys already have minds of their own. Wishing you a speedy recovery and them a very easy and short NICU stay. I know your next few weeks won't be what you imagined but just stay focused on their progress and keeping yourselves well. Xoxo

    Congratulations! The boys are both good size and the fact that they came out crying is also a good sign. Do you remember their Apgar scores? I hope you will be able to see them soon. If you need any 2nd opinions on anything, let me know...I have the inside scoop on all things NICU. Hugs and prayers coming your way!!

    WOW - I'm so glad they are both doing well, and that you are recovering nicely. I can't believe they are already here - congratulations!!! and they have fabulous weights for being twins and early! They weigh the same as my bubba right now :)

    Hoping you get to see them very soon and hold them in your arms, our godson was a 27 week preemie, and you wouldn't know to look at him now :) *hugs*
