Today, we start the numbering and counting all over.... Along with their births comes a whole new set of worries, numbers, and monitorings. It's breaths/minute and blood pressure rates instead of contractions and heart rates.
However, we're exceedingly thankful for your hopes and prayers that have gotten us to this point. 41 days ago, the prospects were not nearly as bright....
It was an incredible sound this afternoon when we heard Ella cry for the first time after the delivery. Her transition from the womb to the external world seems to be doing well. She didn't even need to be intubated. Jack is a bit behind, as expected, but currently seems to be stable. Right now, he is receiving a platelet transfusion. The next 24-48 hours are critical for them and we have very high hopes for the future. We do appreciate your prayers during this time.
Below are a couple pics from the delivery room.
