Grover twins were born on Thursday Pi Day!
I had my follow up with the MFM on Thursday am since I had failed Monday's BPP. Was hooked up to the NST for an hour on Thursday morning. Boys passed, but I was registering full contractions every two minutes for the entire hour. So they consulted with the OB on call from my groups office- it wasn't the OB from Monday's appointment, which was good. I was told to go to L&D triage to be evaluated. Got checked in, and they were like, you're being admitted. Hung out there in triage for about an hour and a half (H had gone into work that morning downtown, and ubered to the hospital). He got there, he got into scrubs, I signed all the paperwork needed.
He was dropped off in a neighboring recovery room just while I was sent to get prepped and get the spinal. However, just as the nurse said sh'ed go get him, both the babies monitors and mine started beeping- my bp dropped way low (and it's normally low to begin with). So....H was not allowed in the room. I almost panicked, but got through it. He was pulled in as soon as the boys were being examined at the side of the room by NICU docs.
Joseph Daniel and William Jeffrey, 6.5 pounds/19 inches, and 6 pounds 15 ounces/ 19.5 inches! Both boys are in NICU because they needed additional oxygen at birth, but oxygen tubes were removed today! Both are taking from the bottle, but Joey needs to use a feeding tube for second half of his feedings because he keeps falling asleep partway in.
I was up walking around this am, and eating normal food today. It's just weird being in this huge twin maternity room by myself, as the boys have their own shared room inthe NICU just down the hall, and H went home to take care of DD and the pups.
I will try to figure out how to post a pic later. One has brown hair, and the other has reddish, maybe strawberry blonde hair. <3
