My older sister Sara delivered her twin babies at 34 1/2 weeks along on Tuesday April 17th. They did a c-section early because they were concerned about the size of the little girl baby in comparison to the boy baby. There is a stark difference in their size so it is probably good that they took them out. Sargent Slade Williams was 4 lbs 13 oz, and Charlotte Dee Williams was 2 lbs 12 oz. Both babies and Sara are doing great. The babies are of course in the NICU, but doing very well. They are both nursing, but becuase they are so small are also being fed with a feeding tube.
I just feel so grateful that everything is ok with these 2 little miracles. Sara and Shane waited for a very long time to get these children and I was so worried that there would be some problems. She was a dilligent Mom for 10 weeks while on bed rest, she was a going a bit crazy sitting around not able to do the things that she wanted to do, and had to learn a bit of patience and how to let other people serve her. But they are definately worth the wait. They are darling babies. I can't wait until I can hold them. They only can get held by their parents during feeding times. It wears them out and over stimulates them to be held so they have to keep it to a minimum. I had the chance to be in the NICU this morning while the doctor did his rounds and checked them out. He said that they looked good and they were hoping they would get out of the hospital a week or two before her actual due- date.
