Beginning to look a lot like Christmas
I am sure that one day soon I’ll have time to write up the birth story and everything that has been going on since however right now all I want to do is spend time with the baby boys and the relatives in town to visit. Thank you to everyone for understanding!
One thing that I […]
One Week Old
I don’t have time to get down all the details but I’d like to announce that
Forest and Logan Trammell
Born Dec 12, 2006
Logan Sol Trammell at 8:00 PM weighing 6 lbs 12 ozs
Forest Manning Trammell at 8:01 PM weighing 5 lbs 9 ozs
The induction didn’t work so we finished the night with a cesarean. Recovery […]
The Big Day
Here I sit, hooked up to all kinds of gadgets and gizmos with a very growling stomach. Last night’s preinduction got me 50% effaced and they started the pitocin at 6:20 this morning. So far it only feels like menstraul cramps, uncomfortable but no pain. The doc is coming back after a surgery at around […]
Just a few hours now
I check into the hospital at 7 PM tonight to start the induction process. My poor body, it’s so ready. And I feel comfortable after talking with the twins a lot that they are ready too. Not sure why they didn’t choose to come on their own but there may be a good reason that […]
preparations
There is something kind of nice about knowing when the boys are going to be coming. Spending the weekend in a quiet space and feeling my body storing up energy. My mind staying relaxed and focused. It’s just like getting ready for a retreat, moving into sacred space. Less then 12 hours and we’ll be […]
PUPPP
The rash that I have appears to be PUPPP is short for Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy.
Taken from the New Zealand Dermatological Society website:
PUPPP is thought to be related to stretching of the skin on the abdomen. Most cases begin in the last 3 months, especially the last 5 weeks, when the […]
Only a matter of days now
This weekend we are sleeping as much as possible and conserving energy knowing that life is about to change. I actually slept from 10 PM - 8 AM! I just couldn’t help forcing myself to staying in bed a little longer despite not being totally comfortable.
The doctor’s appointment on Friday showed no changes to my […]
moving right along
I finally found confirmation that they do have wireless internet access for patients at the hospital so we’ll be able to immediately email pictures of the babies to family and friends as well as post on here. Yay!
Going to head out to IKEA with Mom in a bit to try and get some contractions going. […]
Baby Dropped
Logan dropped at some point over the weekend (Saturday?) and boy has it been great! No more need to eat a Tums after every meal and every time I get out of bed. In fact I think I’ve had one Tums since then. I’ve been able to sleep through a whole night again! For at […]
video additions
Mom and Dad bought us a video camera for Christmas (but gave it to us early for the babies)!!! It’s so awesome and I’m so excited to be able to use it to record and post on here as the boys grow up! So very thankful :)
While I have no intention of videoing the birth […]
