The past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind experience...3 weeks ago, I went for my weekly doctor's appointment (36 weeks). My blood pressure was high and I had high levels of protein in my body, so they decided to do a blood test. Before the results came back, the doctor decided that she wanted to keep me on 24 hour observation and informed me that we may be meeting the girls earlier than expected. About an hour or so later, I was told that the girls were being born that night! I was nervous, scared, freakin' out, anxious...all of the above! Richie showed up at the hospital and no lie, about 45 mins later, the girls were born via c-section.
May 10, 2012- our lives changed forever! We now had 2 beautiful little girls to take care of...born at 6:22pm and 6:23pm. Cali Maria was born 5lbs 5oz and 18 inches long, while Adison Ellie was 5lbs 2oz and 18 inches long. They were taken off to the NICU for a short amount of time (I saw and got to hold them the next day)...Cali because she was wheezing and Adison had low blood sugar.

We spent 4 days at Norwalk Hospital. The nurses and doctors were great-very helpful and knowledgable. I ended up being a mother for Mother's Day!
The next few weeks were filled with doctor's appointments, lots of feedings, lack of sleep, snuggling, cuddling, loving, and trying to get into some kind of routine. I would not change it for the world. As of this week, Cali is now 6lbs 1/2oz and 18 3/4inches long and Adi is 5lbs 4oz and 18 1/2inches long. They continue to grow and change every day...
