30 weeks!

Today would I would have been 30 weeks! But then we wouldn't have gotten to meet our sons yet so it has worked out ☺️

Austin is up to 24mL (.8 oz) every 3 hours. This is going to be the last increase for a little bit as his belly is only able to hold so much. The doctors are hoping to have his IV removed this week and he will be getting all nutrition from the milk. Fingers crossed! 

Michael is up to 17mL (.57oz) with the 'protein powder' because he is so much smaller his intake has to be a little slower but we think he is going to quickly catch up to his brother! He also bumped up to the next size diaper and is no longer in the smallest one they make.  This picture is what he was in, compared to a pair of baby socks!

 Sunday June 26 we were was discharged, but obviously the boys weren't going to be able to come home with us. The tears, and the emotions I felt were something I have never felt before and impossible to explain to someone who has never been through this.  I'm planning on using this blog as an information dump. 1) for myself to process what all is going on in our lives  2) to provide updates to family and friends 3) to help me remember what happened from day to day.

The boys are ONE today!! ( I had good intentions on the 24th 😜) I've been reflecting a lot this week from being put in the hospital on June 22, thinking I'd be 'living' in the hospital for the next 6 weeks, to being rushed to the OR just two short days later to deliver.  (Austin didn't know how to wait from the beginning of life 🤣) I've been thinking about how little the boys were, how I had no idea how we were going to handle this, how can they survive this little? The amount of machines hooked up to them was terrifying. In case you've forgotten, this is Michael And here is Austin Michael had surgery in June and handled it like a champ!  Now I have two healthy, funny little men who are keeping me on our toes even more than before!  As of July 1 -They are both scooting and crawling isnt far behind -We are officially done with formula!!!! -Their favorite food is spaghetti -Austin is still Roczen's favorite -Both love standing wit...

How we got here

 If you know me or my husband personally...and let's be real if your reading this I'm sure you do.   You'd know that we don't tend to do things "normally". So here's bit of back story... December 2021 we found out we were pregnant over the moon, terrified you name it we felt it.  February 1 2022- we went for our first ultrasound. Where we found out there were not one, but two healthy heart beats... My husbands face went pale, I on the other hand sat up and said "there's two what?! Oh shit..."followed by "what the fuck "  After that we learned of some other complications that could make carrying the twins to full term difficult. But we were doing everything we could!  My pregnancy was going perfect, and there were no signs of them coming early we thought we had beat the odds.  Then came Wednesday June 22, 2022. Woke up around 3am and was pretty sure my water had broke... It had. We went to the hospital where we found out that their N...
