I'm back!!! With 2 new baby boys.... :)

I know it's been a super long time since I've written, which I see has been the norm for a bunch of the blogs I follow, but I promise there was good reason. I had a complete unfill back in June 2013 as I found out I was pregnant with twin boys. I went through a hell of a pregnancy towards week 27. I had severe hip pain, my pelvic bone separated, got pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome and my knees were giving out. However, I wouldn't change any of that because on 12/18/13 (albeit 6 weeks early), we welcomed 2 baby boys into the world: Christian John 7:15PM, 18.5 inches and 4 lbs 3 ozs and Logan Elijah 7:24PM, 17.5 inches and 3lbs 12 ozs. They spent 3 weeks in the NICU, but came home with us after the new year. I have been super busy trying to care for these babies and have been so blessed, but SOOOO busy :)  Here is a pic of our boys at 4 months:



Some of you had asked how the band affected pregnancy because you were also worried about it. I had absolutely no band related issues at all. The only thing was that I gained a majority of my weight back because I was instructed to get the total unfill since there were 2. 

I finally got all of my fills back in to bring me right to almost where I was prior to taking the fluid out, so I am now trying to get back on track. I really hope everyone is doing well and would love to hear how you have progressed since I've been gone!

  2. Yay! Twin boys! I am about 14 weeks pregnant for the first time and my husband and sister both swear they think it is twins! I think twins look like a crazy amount of work :) They are adorable and I hope you are doing well. What an adjustment...
    I haven't had to have any fluid remove and so far no complications at all with the band. I have gained about 15 pounds already, so I am sure I will have a ton of work to do when the little one gets here!

    1. Congratulations! Enjoy your pregnancy! Twins are definitely a handful, but double the blessings and smiles and coos as well. I think they said you should get all fluid removed towards the last couple months of pregnancy so as to avoid complications with delivery; however, that is between you and your doc! I wish you well and pray for a happy and healthy pregnancy and baby!
