Who called the 15th?

I want to introduce everyone to the newest additions to the Gray family...Ava and Ireland were born Friday night at 6:28 (ireland) and 6:29 (ava). They are both doing really great with the exception of one minor problem. We found out first hand the power of explosive diarrhea. Thank goodness Ava's bottom was pointed down and not up or S@#$ would really would have hit the fan. They both are starting to eat a ton...Ireland is eating more than Ava at the moment (minor victory for all the smaller twins in the world). We are really excited about them and cant wait until we can get them home sometime tomorrow. Enjoy the pics.

updating just to update

Babies are doing well still. Had to do the some labwork on Saturday and will get the results back tomorrow. They will get measured again tomorrow...I have gotten edema back with a vengeance so I have been trying to swim every day. By swim, you have to know, it isn't real swimming...but it does help me feel better.

Don't know the due date...the only way we are going to know is if the test results are bad or if I go into labor...

Swimming = Weight Loss

So the Dr from MFM told me to swim to get the fluid out of my body...I gotta say it worked! I have lost 12 lbs since Saturday and now have ankles and feet again. My legs even look skinnier! :) yay! I went yesterday for bloodwork and had to turn in another 24 hour urine collection...which is lots of fun collecting it. The bloodwork was the easiest I have ever had!

Tomorrow I go to MFM for another checkup...which means I hope my BP stays down because last time I went to them, I was in the hospital. I think everything will be ok since I am on meds now though.

That is it for now :)
Peace.

Baby Update

They are doing well. The tech was very excited about the amount of hair they have...I guess Ava has a lot! :) Heartbeats are good too.
Ava is 3lbs 11oz and 16.4 inches 144 heartbeat
Ireland is 3lbs 4oz and 15.6 inches 154 heartbeat



The docs are very happy! :) I love going and not having them freak me out! Look at the pout on Ireland! Couldn't get a good shot of Ava...her head wasn't facing the right way!! ughh

Easter time again!

We had our first Easter egg hunt with the girls....it took me forever to find the one egg that was hidden. With the help of a few friends, I located the egg and now waiting for it to hatch.

woo!

So I don't have gestational diabetes...my bloodwork looked wonderful...very exciting. Let's hope the tech on Wednesday actually gives a crap and takes her time to measure the girls...ugh!
