The births went smoothly and everyone is doing so well! The babies are all in open cribs (no isolettes/incubators) and breathing on their own. One has a little extra oxygen by nasal canula, but she is fine. They will be in the NICU for a short time but all are fantastically healthy. I just cannot believe they are here and they are mine. Kim's parents took the camera home for the night, but I will post pictures tomorrow.
I'm on magnesium sulfate to prevent possible seizures from pre-e and HELLP syndrome, and they won't let me out of bed until I'm off of it tomorrow. However, I feel GREAT - I just want more time with my babies. I am pumping away and ready to try to feed them tomorrow.
Thanks for all the support! I am so exhausted but just filled with so much joy right now!
