Got Twins?

I think it’s time for soon-to-be daddy to have a “talk” with the twins. They are still holding firm with staying in “the oven”. Vickers had some more tests this morning and the Doctor said there was nothing that would promt her to schedule delivery at this time, but also they were not good enough to let Vickers go home for bed rest.

She did have a sonogram yesterday; the girl is estimated to be about an ounce shy of 7lbs, and the boy is right at 6lbs. So babies are looking healthy and growing everyday, and the longer they stay in the better. However, mommy-to-be would love to get home and sleep in her own bed. I must say, Vickers is a rock star and doing a great job of staying positive, but a prayer for her to stay strong and not go stir crazy being in a hospital room 24/7 would be great.

Also, we are in the 36th week of the pregnancy which is a huge milestone for twins. YAY! All organ systems are fully developed and in place, but their lungs will be last to reach maturity (which is happening this week).

Stay tuned!!

We thought Vickers and the twins might get to share a birthday, however, it’s not looking that way. The doctor said her numbers were looking good and her BP has improved. There was a drop in her platelets, but they were still in the good range. They are estimating a mid week delivery now. We are getting soooo excited and know God has this all planned out.

We have also received wheelchair privileges so we can take one or two outings a day and get her out of the room for a bit. Today we plan to visit the nursery and see all the babies!

“He makes me lie down in green pastures…” (Emphasis Vickers’)

Vickers was doing her bible study and came across this verse. She truly laughed out loud. We are still at the hospital on bed rest and just heard from the doctor that they would like to keep us here a bit longer.

Overall she and the twins are doing fine. We have been watching movies and talking about all the fun things we get to do once the little ones make their grand entrance. Our Doctor likes to keep things on the conservative side so that’s why we are spending a few more days here, really It’s just more of a precautionary measure.

For those of you that are local and would like to visit, come on down. We are in the North Tower of Building A, room 773, Medical City Dallas. The room is under Sondra Sanchez, not Vickers. Just give us a call or txt letting us know when you will be coming.

Thank you all for the continued prayers and emails.

Just got the results for Vickers’ protein test. It was just a bit over what they would like to see, so they have decided to keep her here for 2 or 3 more days. She’s feeling great, although she’d rather head home, or at least get out of this room. The twins are still “in the oven” and are doing great (we get to hear their heartbeats when they monitor them).

We know God has this all under control and just ask for continued prayers for Vickers’ and the twin’s health. Ohh and peace for me.

No, the twins are not here yet.

Just wanted to update you all. All is fine and this is just a routine “thing”, however Vickers has earned herself a 24 hour stay at the hospital. Her blood pressure was elevated and they found protein in her urine. Both are signs of preeclampsia, so they are going to monitor her and the twins. If all goes well she’ll be released tomorrow around 11:15.

I’ll keep you all updated as best as I can. Just pray that her and the twins stay safe and healthy.

Love ya all…

From Vickers’ Facebook:

Went to the perinatologist/specialist today for routine check up at 35 weeks. Baby girl (in utero) weighs 5 lbs 14 oz & baby boy (in utero) weighs 5 lbs 4 oz. Um, thats over 11 lbs of baby!!!! No wonder I can’t breathe, sleep, walk, etc, etc and all I do is pee!!

We have a strange feeling they are going to be coming sooner rather than later…maybe this week. Vickers is praying for April 18th, her birthday.

We now have the pictures from Meshali! We love them…

Yesterday, I met Vickers at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens for a little photo session with Meshali. She photographed our wedding and we were so happy to get her to shoot us now that we are about to move into parenthood. She just posted some preview pictures…we LOVE them! Meshali, we cannot wait to see the rest of them. See below for the link and one of my favorite pictures.

We hope to use this blog to document happenings of the twins. Be sure to also check out our photo gallery too!
