Oops missed an update yesterday.

 Sorry y'all! I'm going to do my best to update daily but no promises!

Both boys went up to 10 mL of food! Michael is so close to being back at his birth weight he was 2.5 yesterday. Austin is 2.8 and slowly gaining weight! 

I also found out that Michael is about an inch shorter than Austin so not only is he 5 minutes younger but he's officially the smaller brother. But so mighty! On of the nurses even made the comment that he is all hands and likes to pull all the wires. 

Both are off the "tanning beds" as their jaundice is looking a lot better! But those numbers could fluctuate so they may need them again, which is okay!

I got to go to lunch with Kinsey yesterday and we just kept talking about how everything has worked out in the wildest way and that everything has fallen into place. It wasn't OUR plan, but it was God's plan- I'll be honest I've never been one to say oh God has a plan I will just let it go and let God....but after everything that has happened in the past week I will tell you my feelings have changed.

Updates

 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...
