Two gorgeous newborns and a gorgeous big sis!
The diaper and the angle of the shot make it difficult to tell from the picture about Katherine’s legs, but Daddy seems to think they are fine! Both babies look beautiful to me! : )
How is mom doing? She did a good job!
Prayers for mom and babes, and prayers for the safety of y’all who are travelling back and forth to see them. God bless.
She's doing fine. Talked with her, and Grandma Gata, this morning. They took out the catheter about 1 AM and the IV about 5 or so. So she's tubeless. :) The wound is looking good, no bleeding, and healed enough that it doesn't need to be packed anymore.
The OB used a laser for at least some of the cutting. Poor woman did like 5 C sections, two of them twins, yesterday, plus who knows how many natural deliveries. I don't know how she ever has office hours, and what the other OBs in North Austin are doing. (Some of them are of course her partners in the practice, but that's based across the street from the hospital, and there is another based in the hospital/med center building) :).
More pictures, with less tubes, later. Both babies still have IVs for nourishment, but were supposed to try the more normal routine this afternoon. Beth has lost the air lines, and is breathing completely normally. She's also moved from the warming table to a normal isolete. Kat is still having trouble keeping herself warm (at only 3lb 6 oz that is not exactly a surprise).
BULLETIN! The babies have staged a coup and have taken over Victoria's blog.... do not expect Miss V to take that lying down though.
Miss V is currently on the road with Grandma to Grandma's house where she will remain until Friday when she will return to the Mommy, whether the twins are home or not. She woke up this morning around 5 and discovered it was just her and Grandma in the house. She slept with Grandma the rest of the night, and beyond. Apparently no worse for however much cake and frosting she ate... can't have been much, judging by how much was on the floor, the table and especially the chair cushions.
