Our little girls received the names in the evening of June 12th after Brant and I were able to travel to the NICU together and hold each of them. By the next morning, the night nurse had already made each of them a sign with their names and information - this NICU is great!

While recovering from the surgery in the middle of the night, my vitals were significantly off. I ended up getting a chest x-ray in my bed in the middle of night to identify if I had fluid or a clot in my lungs - turns out it was the better of the two (fluid) and I was put on more medication to help lower my blood pressure. I also had a significant decrease in my oxygen level and was put on oxygen for several days to come. All recoverable, but an intense couple of days to say. Poor Brant spent several days running from the NICU to my room trying to take care of all of us.
