Sick/Relieved
Jan. 20th, 2012 02:07 pmBeen really sick overnight last night and today. Missed the delivery of my granddaughters, Amelia June and Layla Camella, who were pronounced "perfect" by their Aunt Rebecca before being whisked off to the NIC-U which is thankfully in the same hospital.
They're very tiny, of course, the plan having been from the start to deliver by C-section at 38 weeks which is two weeks short of full term. The actual delivery date was then determined by another indicator, the most recent growth sonogram which showed that Layla had stopped growing while her sister had added another pound during the final week, their 36th.
Little Jay thought it was unfair that Amelia had to be delivered at the same time as her sister since she seemed to be just fine right where she was. He was consoled somewhat by being told that the tiny twins would be kept together in the NIC-U.
Anyway, that's my big news for the day. I had been preparing a sort of lead-in, a couple of days ago, when LiveJournal trashed about half a page of copy and I had neither the time nor the energy to re-do it.
Now I've gotta pick Little J up at school - I've gotta, there's no one else - and also see if I can convince someone to take him to soccer practice tonight and his 7 AM soccer game tomorrow. Good luck to me on that...
