Miracles Can Happen: I just knew...

I just knew...

I had prepared for a very tough summer. Knowing Bryce would have surgery and afterward would be in so much pain. Then all the therapy... Yeah that would be tough too. He hates therapy so that wouldn't be fun at all. We knew that we wouldn't get to do much this summer. We were prepared to not have much fun.

I have to admit- I had it so wrong.... And sometimes I love being wrong! This summer has been awesome, amazing, life changing. It hasn't been all fun and games but close to it! It is one that I will never ever forget!

From the beginning...

On January 5, 2009 we found out we were having twins!!! We were so excited and never dreamed that we would have any problems getting them here. All we could think about was how special it would be to bring two little ones into this world at one time.

It was a few weeks later that we found out there were issues with the pregnancy. It appeared that the twins had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), but after several tests it was found that there was a growth discordance in the twins. Baby A (Cohen) had more placental share that Baby B (Bryce). After finding this out I was put on full bed rest at home. We had ultrasounds every other week to check the babies growth. It was a constant worry whether the babies would make it.

At 20 weeks I would be admitted into Good Sam Hospital with pre-term labor complications. Those complications would turn into cervical length problems and from there a one night stay turned into 54 days of trying not to go absolutely insane. Each week we would have a new scare. I became very ill with blood poisoning and there was a fear that the infection got to the babies, luckily it did not. I also had daily contractions, some days more than others and began dialating. I developed gestational diabetes, only after passing the glucose test a week before.

At 28 weeks (and one day) real labor set in and I gave birth to two very small but very beautiful boys - Cohen Matthew and Bryce Anthony. This is their story...
