1 month old

It's been almost a month now since I updated. The boys are now just over a month old =)
Elias is now 8lbs 4oz and Micah is 7lbs 10oz. They're getting so chubby!

Micah came home on 1/3. He was so good in the hospital even the nurses and doctors were poking him with needles and inserting tubes into his nose. We thought Elias will be the difficult baby...were we wrong or what?!? Micah is the cry baby. Actually, he goes right to screaming and skips the crying. Elias calmed down since Micah came home.

The nursing has been difficult. I got myself two little golden piggies (Chinese Zodiac year for 2007), and they sure live up to it. They eat so much for their age. I'm still trying to feed to exclusively on breast milk, but I'm not making enough. I don't think I'm eating and drinking enough. I supposed to eat extra 400-500 calories PER BABY! I don't even eat that much during pregnancy. Now I'm so tired all the time, I lost all appetite.

They're so cute though. I promise to post picture soonPublish Post. Preston has the computer on LINUS and I have no idea how to find the pictures =P

Update on baby Elias and baby Micah

It's been a week since we came home from the hospital. Elias is really draining me out. As you may know, I LOVE and NEED my sleep. He won't wake up when it's feeding time; when it's time to sleep, he's wild awake, which makes everything just that much harder and longer. By the time he's settled down, his next feeding time it's only an hour away. But praise God He's listening to our prayers; he was doing better last night. I hope it will continue, so I can get some rest.

As for Micah, he had another episode two nights ago during his sleep, which was more dangerous than feeding time. So it's another 5-7 days from his last episode before he can come home (if he's episode free during the observation time.) Please continue to keep him in your prayers. I'm really sad and going nuts at this point because i was expecting him to come home either tomorrow or Friday; but I know it's better that it happened at the hospital than at home.

Babies are Here!!!

The twins have finally arrived on 12/23/07, Sunday at 6:26pm and 6:31pm. Elias Hye-Yun was first, and then Micah Hym-Yun. Elias is home with us now, but Micah needs to stay in NICU for awhile. We're not sure when he can come home yet. We'll keep you posted. Just a quick update for now.

I Made It to Week 35!!!

Went to my doctor yesterday. I have dilated 2 cm. They seems very comfortable in there though. I'm very anxious as the day of inducement is getting closer. I'm not sure if I'll need it yet at this point. This morning I'm spotting a tiny bit. So maybe it won't be long before they come. We'll see. I'm closely monitoring I guess.

I'm so excited cuz my best friend is coming today, and so is grandma and my aunt's family. The rest of the relatives will arrive from Canada over the weekend. There will be tons of people around when these two are born.

Fire Drill

My calves have been cramping since Monday night. So this is what happened:

The fire alarm went off on Monday. First, I didn't even know we had one in the building =P Second, I just got out of the shower, hair still wet, not sure what's going on, so I was freaking out. I put sth on and do what ppl do when the fire alarm goes off-I head downstairs. Eleven (11) flights of stairs! I've been on bed rest since 24 weeks. I have gain almost 50 lbs. My legs were cramping when I got to the 5th floor. When I got to the lobby, the doorlady was like, "what are you doing down here? you should have call me first. I would have tell you to stay put." Not very bright of me.

34 weeks

I made it to 34 weeks. I'm now 1cm dilated. The doctor said anytime now. He has scheduled an inducement on the 23rd if the babies haven't arrived by then. 10 days! Preston is SoOoooo stressed out. I guess he's not ready for the reality. I wished there's something I can do to make him less stress. I can only try to hold on to these two for as long as I can, but really, do I have a say in it?!?

33 weeks

I made it to 33 weeks =) I'll be really happy if they can make it to 35. They're getting bigger each day and my tummy are stretching along with them. It can be painful sometimes and those stretch marks are so ulgy! But I just love talking to them when they're moving around.

I went for check up today and did a non-stress test. Babies are doing well. My cervix is 50% thinned out and dilated just a little bit (maybe 1/2 cm) . The doctor is aiming for Christmas Day!
