Before & After the Twins´Arrival

Here I am 35 weeks pregnant with Alyssa & Katelyn! This was actually taken on the same day that my water broke and I went in to have them. Little did I know!


Here I am about a week after having Alyssa & Katelyn:

October 24

My mother (Granny Brooks) got to hold both babies today! (Alyssa on left, Katelyn on right)

The girls with their pediatrician/neonatalogist, Dr. Salguero. He is our hero! He worked with Alyssa for 3 long minutes until she started breathing and he has given excellent care to both of our girls!


Our family!


Everything is going great with the girls and the pediatrician still thinks that they will both be able to come home either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Praise the Lord!

October 23

They are going to take Alyssa off the light treatment for jaundice today! The doctor is going to let them gain a little more weight and then hopes to be able to release them BOTH to go home on Monday or Tuesday of next week! We can´t wait!!! It is so hard to go to the hospital every day to see them and then have to leave them.

October 22

It was wonderful to be able to hold both girls again! The pediatrician is going to take Alyssa out of her incubator today, but she will still be receiving light treatment for her jaundice for a little while longer. He hopes to be able to release Katelyn to come home next Monday or Tuesday! Keep up the prayers!

Katelyn & Alyssa look so peaceful snuggling with one another.

Daddy with his girls!

We are excited that Katelyn can come home once she gains 6 oz. more!

Alyssa will be there at least one more week. Her bilirubin levels have decreased with the phototherapy (she has jaundice). Her oxygen saturation is staying in the 96-100% range. Praise the Lord! They also have her on medication to help with sleep apnea (normal in preemies). Thank you for all your prayers!

I was so happy to hold Katelyn today and help bottle feed her! Hopefully she will be able to nurse and come home within a few more days. The doctor is just waiting for her to gain some more weight. Alyssa is doing better every day and hopefully the light will be removed for the jaundice in a few days. I go this afternoon to get my outer stitches from the C-section removed.
