The Twins have arrived!!

Wow, it has been a while since I updated. It is easy to say that I have been BUSY!!! I wanted to give everyone an update. In June my blood pressure continued to be high and after a few trips to Labor and Delivery and elevated protein in my urine they went ahead and put me on bed rest. My goal was to make it to 37 weeks with the pregnancy cause that was as far as they were going to let me go before having a scheduled C Section. After three weeks of bed rest we pulled Morgan out of daycare in my 36Th week thinking I would be able to make it one more week with having her at home full time. Monday went along just fine, but on Tuesday as soon as I woke up I didn't not feel well at all. I couldn't keep food or water down and after a few blood pressure checks I took Morgan to her Aunt Jamie's (it was planned for her to go to the zoo that day anyways since I had a DR appointment at 11) and stopped in at Labor and Delivery for them to check my blood pressure. I checked in at 915 am and by 11 they said that they were going to go ahead and do the C Section within the hour!!! I wasn't expecting that, I just thought they would monitor me and then send my to my Dr. Appointment!!!



Tyson hurried off work and to the hospital and at 1:00 I was in the operating room! At 1:13 pm Cameryn Paige Pechanec made her entrance weighing in at 5lbs 11Oz's, one minute later at 1:14 pm Jaidyn Elliott Pechanec made her entrance weighing in at 5lbs 10Oz's!! I only got to see them for a minute and then they were taken for observation. I had to stay behind because I was also getting my tubes tied at the same time (yup this baby factory is over). At the time they started my C Section they also started pumping me full of Magnesium, because I had pre-eclampsia they gave me magnesium so I didn't have a stroke. That stuff is NASTY stuff. With about 20 minutes left of my surgery I started to get really hot (side effect), really itchy (side effect) and really nauseous. By the time I got to recovery I was really out of it. The girls blood sugars were in the 40's so we had to feed them some formula to try to get it above 50. If it didn't go about 50 after an hour then they would have to go to NICU. Thank goodness my friend Heather was there to help Tyson because I could barely comprehend what was going on (another side effect)

The girls pulled thru and I got brought back to Labor and Delivery, because I was on Magnesium I had to stay there for 24 hours till they stopped it. I was very happy and excited that the girls were healthy and a good weight and nothing major had happened!! It all happened so fast!!
