Hey, I just wanted to pass along my information for you…we’ve had a pretty rough week this week. Kevin dealt with the flu during this whole time and missed the birth of our babies. Here’s our story:

On Monday (2/14), I went in for a routine OB appt. My blood pressure was high, so they wanted to admit me into the hospital for observation. When I got there, they ran a few tests and I had what is known as HELLPS. Which is part of pre-eclampsia where the liver stops functioning properly. So they transported me to a level 3 hospital. On Wednesday they took them by c-section. Daniel was born at 1:23 pm 2 pounds 15 ounces; Andrew was born at 1:25 pm 2 pounds 12 1/2 ounces. Andrew was 15 1/2 inches. Daniel was 15 1/4 inches . They are both breathing on their own, which is a big accomplishment. They were born at 31 weeks gestation.

They will be in the NICU for awhile. I got released from the hospital today. They had been watching my BP from the whole HELLPS thing. I’m still exhausted, but glad to be home.
