The boys are getting so big. They are doing a lot of giggling and babbling ...Its so amazing how much they have changed and to see their little personalities emerge .. I can't wait to hear them say "Mommy" or "Yankees" then "Daddy" (LOL) Well I hope all you other Mommies are having fun.

Okay so I have not had the time to really sit down and update my page like I wanted to . The boys are keeping me so busy it not even funny. They both are so attached to me that they do not want to sleep in their crib. So if they are not sleeping in their bouncy seats their in my bed. Oh and I have to go back to work on March 19 and I am so scared to leave my babies , but what can I do. Any who the boys have reached 10 and 11 lbs and are doing great. Anthony is so chunky that he could not fit a lot of the clothes i brought and Alexander my little Jeter is getting tall or should I say long he is growing out of his clothes in that manor. You know with all the ups and downs that I have faced I would so do this again. I never thought that I could be so in love with my babies.

So the boys are doing great. Eating well and sleeping okay. I am waiting for them to sleep longer than 3-4hr. I have also started school again so this should be exciting. Oh let me just tell you my employer drop a big bomb on me I was just informed that I will have to search for a new position which kinds of sucks b/c if I don't find something by March 19 I am out of luck b/c my pay will stop and I will have 30 day to find a position or they will lay me off . So, I am stressed about that and lack of sleep does not help either. Well I hope all of you ladies are doing well.

So the babies are here and boy did it happen fast.

On Dec 26, 2007 I had my regular scheduled doctor’s appointment to make sure the babies were doing okay. Not sure if I had mentioned that I had pulled groan muscle so my leg was killing me. I made it to my appointment accompanied by my daughter at 1:45. As I was waiting to be seen Alexander (Baby B) turned in to a head down position pressing on the nerve in my leg making it impossible for me to walk……As I tried repeatedly to leave the doctors office I found myself unable to walk and contracting every 2-3 min. So, the nurse at the doctors office called the ambulance and I was taken to labor and deliver because the babies were on 35 weeks my doctor did not want to deliver them but admit me to the hospital because I could not walk…So, I was given a shot of terbutaline to stop the contraction but it did not help and when she checked me I had already dilated to 4cm.

This is were it get scary..

After she checked me she called for a emergency C-Section.. I started crying because hubby was not there yet and between the contraction and my leg I was in so much pain. I was then given a shot of pain med’s (So I felt good..) Then a catheter was inserted and I was shaved all the while calling out for hubby. Then the anesthesiologist pushed some forms in my face to sign and then dropped a bomb on me that because of the nerve in my leg they may have to put me to sleep which meant that hubby could not come in. After, I begged the decided that it was safe to do the spinal. Just then hubby arrived and they handed him some clothes to put on and wheeled me away.

The birth…

Please slide on to the table… and sit up with your back hunched over please said the anesthesiologist then I was told I would feel a prick and pressure… which I did.. Then I was poked and poked to make sure the meds took…. Hubby was then brought in and sat beside me.. Then it started ….Then I smelled something burning and had the nerve to ask “What is that smell?” I was told that I did not want to know (meaning it was me cooking) The pressure again then at 7:00pm on December 26, 07 Anthony Christopher was born and 2 min later Alexander Jeter was born both screaming and crying which was sweet music to our ears…

In the first 24hr Anthony was transferred to the regular nursery and Alexander remained in the Special Care Nursery. They found that Alex was not feeding as well as he should… However, after I was feeling better and allowed to come down I tried to breast feed and guess what he took to me and did not want to let go. Alex’s stay in the SCN was 4 days and he was sent home with us.

Well just got back from the doctors office and the boys are weighting in at 4lb 12oz and 4lb 15 oz...... I guess in a week or so they should be a little over 5lb... I'm not sure how much more weight I can take on my body before I pass out. I am hoping that now that we are out of the danger zone my labor will start or my water will break or better Anthony will just kick his way out..LOL that would be painful. Any who I hope all of you are having a happy holiday and happy pregnancy....

Well here we are at 32 weeks and 1 day. I can't believe it, my little men should be here soon. I just finish packing their bag for the hospital and it felt so weird, packing two of everything. However, we can't wait to meet them recently they have been kicking me so hard its like they can't wait to meet us. Its funny how we never think we are ready but when the time comes God opens our eyes and lets us know that we are and how great we will be. Hugs and well wish to all the mommies out there.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.. to all the mommies and their families.. I just got in from having dinner with my in-laws and it was great.. (I didn't have to cook) However, I ate so much I feel like a turkey..

11/19/07

So I was over reacting. My doctor’s appointment was not that bad. I am still at 1cm and surprise my cervix has not changed. I just hit 30 weeks on 11/16 so if I can make it to 33-34 weeks I maybe in the clear. I am so happy… I want to send a THANK”S to all of the mommies that have keep me and my little ones in their prayers. It has meant a lot to me. I return the prayers and well wish to every mother out there. Happy Holidays……

I think my body hates me.... Everytime I go to the doctor with high hopes I am admitted to the hospital. I went for my regularly schedule appointment and was told that my cervix had shorten to 10mm and I have dilated to 1cm. So, I was admitted for an over night stay and given another dose of the steroids to help mature the babies lungs in addition I was given an fetal fibronectin test which, help determine if I will delivery in the next two weeks or so. If my fetal fibronectin test came back negative I was advised that I could go home. I was praying like I never prayed for anything I hate staying in the hospital. I am so scared right now b/c under one breath I want the babies here but under the next breath I want them to stay in as long as possible so I don’t have to leave them in the hospital. I am confused and I feel lonely.. I am hoping that I can keep my head up and finish my studies before I have the babies in addition to learning patience with my family b/c I am on edge…

11/4/07

So, we have hit 26 weeks and the doctor is pushing for 28 weeks so 2 more weeks of bed rest and I can probably go back to work..(I know it sounds crazy but I miss working) My body is tried of lying around and I need conversation and human contact. With college football, pro-football, and baseball playoffs I barely get to see my husband. (That’s men for you) On a different note I am almost done with school I can’t wait. I am already searching for a position in HR so that when its time to return to work I will get something in my field of study.

10/15/07

Okay, So here is my big update. I went for my reg sch appt to check my cervix and found that it started thinning out and all of the pains I was feeling was contraction. So my doctor had me admitted last night after I was given two doses of the med's need to help the babies lungs. I can tell you how scared I am from my babies. They are doing okay still kicking and moving like nothing is happen, but I am fearful that I will not make it to 30-31 weeks. Please pray for my family and please stay stress free for you bundles of joy.

Ok, update time.... We have gone back and forth with the names of these little men and we came up with Anthony Christopher and Tony Jeter . I thought it was cute this means that both kids are named after daddy. The name thing is hard b/c you never know if you are going to choose a name that suits your child. Okay enough with the name stuff. I am cramping like a $%#%#%. I researched on line and found that it could be my uterus stretching to make room for babies. I am so uncomfortable in the evenings all I can do is sleep. But it is all worth it b/c in about 4-5 months I will be looking at my babies. And all of the aches and pains and ups and downs will all be worth it. And to all the mommies having a ruff time right now stay positive and be strong b/c you are the support system for your little ones and they are depending on you to get them here safe and health. Much love and GO YANKEES....

And the results are in...... We.. have... BOYS... Thank the lord and they are healthy and doing great... I feel little kicks and was reassured that they will get stronger as time goes on.... So now its just time to pick names we can both agree on for little man B - We have choose Anthony Christopher ... I love this name.. We were going to name or second little one Jeter Alexander , but hubby is not wanting to name our baby after Derek Jeter (of the Yankee's) which, I can understand.... But my hubby reminds me of Derek Jeter (strong, fine, sex, did I say sexy... nice smile, nice butt...let me stop there) Any who... we are excited and so is our families.....

Okay so I have no appetite, which sucks. When I was in my first and second month I would eat everything (Panara –sandwich place) was my thing now I don’t want anything…. But today I smelled some chicken and it was on… Popeye’s chicken here I come and my wonderful daughter made spaghetti. So, chicken and spaghetti is going to be my thing tonight… Crispy fried chicken … OMG let me go get my chicken before I eat my fingers (LOL). Other than that, things on the home front are cool. (other than my Yankee’s are trailing 8 game behind Boston -sob-sob) Oh, let me fill you in. I am a native New Yorker – Bronx , NY .. So I love my Yankee’s …..

Okay here a little more about me. I am 29 yr old and I am happy, sad, confused and scared all at the same time. I was so young when I had my 1st and 2nd child that I'm not sure if I know what to do anymore. I am trying to decide if I should find a work form home job or look for daycare. I know that I have about 4 months left to decide but it is on my mind......

7/28/07

Well, I'm 14weeks and I think I can feel my babies moving. We saw them on Wed’s and they were kicking each other it was so funny. I hope they get along better when their born.
