They are beautiful and perfect. She delivered at 35 weeks, after being on hospital bed rest from 32 weeks on. She did all of this whole having a nearly 3-year old at home. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, and even though oit's scary, the best patient is an informed one.

There were times in the pregnancy I was on strict bed rest. Let me say I was not a happy camper about it most of the time. But, look at it this way...you need to do it for the health and well being of your babies. And at no point in your life will it be so easy to be on bed rest (you don't have kiddos to run after).

I had Addy by c-section and they had to put me out completely, so I had the very weird experience of going to sleep completely pregnant and waking up completely non-pregnant. If a c-section happens to you, I can give you some tips for recovery. The first few weeks you will feel like you are being ripped in half every time you get up, but that is NORMAL. Have people hand you babies as much as possible, including in the middle of the night. Pay attention to your lift limit (I think mine was 10 lbs.) and don't push it. And you will eventually get back to normal, but it takes a while. Lower expectations of what you can do will help you healing.<br /><br />Brent got to see Addy first and was with her for about an hour an half before I woke up. They have a very strong attachment and I wonder if some of it was because he was with her in the first hour of birth. I was very glad that he got to take that time with Addy, and I bet Jon would be, too. I have a strong attachment with Addy, too, and I don't feel like I lost out on anything. Rather, I love that Brent got that opportunity.<br /><br />Lastly, I have a friend who carried twins to 39 weeks. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10267409129084082920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433165835233532138.post-77575732980190017082013-06-09T22:52:41.292-06:002013-06-09T22:52:41.292-06:00I think what you're feeling is completely norm...I think what you're feeling is completely normal, especially since you are having two babies. Oh, and I was on bed rest and it ended up being the biggest blessing in disguise. I HATED it at the time, but now l look back with gratitude to HF for giving me some final "me" time before my life got flip turned upside down. Embrace it! :) anyway, let me know what we can do to help. We are good painters. I'd also love to bring you dinner (and anything else you may need) to help in your recovery.
