<br />
i guess i should tell you that we've survived the first six months! the babies were born at exactly 33 weeks. perfect, adorable and healthy.<br />
<br />
on friday, july 15, at 10:15 and 10:20 pm our babies were born. our sweet boy was first, weighing in at 4 lb 14 oz. our hunk of love girl was next, at 5 lb even. (maybe someday i will find the time to write their full birth story - before they're a year old!)<br />

my diabetes got a little wonky in that time, trying to figure out juggling myself, diabetes, toddler, two babies, schedules, eating, sleeping, working full time ... it's been a lot. a really big life change for us. i did get a new pump in december. omnipod! i'm tubeless and i LOVE it! i've been having some skin reactions/rash issues but hopefully we are getting that sorted out.<br />
<br />
that's our life update in a nutshell! here are a couple cute pictures. because babies.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit;">i am also growing two humans, so changes are going to happen in my appearance. i'm sorry if it bothers you, i will gladly stay miserable and try to not complain about the physical pain too much for the next 2 months if it means i don't have preemies in the NICU. i want them to stay growing inside of me so they come out healthy and on time. if you don't have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut. </span></div>

<br />
i let it go on tuesday, wondering if there was something in my eye, if it was just a random thing that would go away, etc. but by tuesday night, it was still there so my double-hormone pregnancy brain decided to take over and FREAK OUT about diabetes complications and pregnancy complications and OHMYGODIAMGOINGBLIND. i remembered that <a href="http://sixuntilme.com/wp/" target="_blank">kerri</a> had some eye things going on during her first pregnancy, so i consulted with her and got her professional opinion/had her tell me i wasn't going blind.<br />

<br />
i called the eye doctor wednesday morning. i went to an appointment that afternoon, and saw a doctor in the practice i hadn't seen before. a lovely woman, who, of course, has twin three year old daughters. so she gave me her twin tips, etc, and said she saw what looked like deposits just outside my retina that were interfering with my vision and that explained the line i was seeing. just to be safe, she wanted me to see the retina specialist before i left.<br />
<br />
[sidenote, my favorite part ... 'she can see you right now!' ... and i saw the second doctor 50 minutes later.]<br />
<br />
they had only dilated my left eye when i saw the first doctor, but then the retina specialist wanted to see both eyes dilated so then my vision was really wonky since they were dilated at different times.<br />
<br />
i got a scan of my eyes, and the second doctor (who was pregnant and also so nice) tried to blind me with her lights and extra light shining through glass, etc. she asked me to re-explain for the fourth time at that office what i was seeing, and she read over what the first doctor said.<br />
<br />
then, she became my best friend when she said 'well, i see no evidence of diabetes <b><i>at all</i></b> in either of your eyes. they look great and i do see a spot where you are seeing a change in your vision, but it just looks like a little white bump and i think it's probably from changes during your pregnancy and it will likely get smaller and go away on its own. i just want to follow up in about a month' <br />
<br />
i almost hugged her.<br />
<br />
thinking about the possibility of diabetes complications is scary. add in a twin pregnancy, and it's even scarier. i'm beyond thrilled that it's nothing ... even though i still see the spot today and it's so annoying and i wish it would just GO AWAY already ... but i'm glad that i decided to get it checked out, even if just to put my mind at ease.<br />

i realize i didn't start answering these questions as early on in my pregnancy as i did with your brother. being pregnant (with two of you) is a lot different the second time around when you're chasing a toddler and growing humans! don't get snippy with him about it. and don't be bragging, bro. from here on out i'm keep up with what happens until your arrival! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Differences at this point between your singleton pregnancy and twin pregnancy: </b>they're pretty similar at this point except for the hip issues and pain in my left leg that starts up around my hips and radiates down my left leg to about my knee. i've been to the chiropractor, i stretch, i put ice on it every night ... not a lot helps. sitting and standing make it worse which is pretty much what i do on a daily basis. i feel fine when i wake up every day, but after a few hours... not so much. i also run out of breath very easily. i noticed this from the start, even before we knew i was having twins. i kept wondering, WHY am i so exhausted after carrying my son up a flight of stairs? this is ridiculous! ...now i know why. </span></div>

<br />
by the time i was checked in, had answered all my questions and had every hospital ID bracelet known to man on my arm, it was after midnight. we messaged a few close friends to let them know we were at the hospital. it was going to be a long labor ... i was only 2 cm dilated.<br />
<br />
my nurse that night was AMAZING. katie. saint katie, the best nurse in all of labor and delivery nurseland. she was the absolute best for me, and she was there until 7 am. we talked about my goals for my delivery. goal 1 is the same for everyone: healthy mom, healthy baby. i decided on my next goal: stable blood sugars. this was VERY important to me. i had worked myself up with worry that some horrible blood sugar crash would happen at a key point during delivery. spoil alert: that didn't happen.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
before i was ever in labor, i asked my OB and my endocrinologist about what would happen during labor and delivery. would i wear my pump? would they give me insulin as needed through an IV? there are many options, depending on the patient and doctors. katie and i talked it out, she conferred with the on-call doctor and we decided i'd get insulin through an IV so i didn't have to worry about fooling with my pump in addition to focusing on delivery. they checked my blood sugar every few hours (so ya know, that whole sleeping thing doesn't really happen when you go into labor at night) and it was pretty stable... actually, they let me check it. i got to prick my own finger and use my own meter. and when they had to use their meter, i still got to prick my own finger. :)<br />
<br />
it turned out to be a great decision. and when he was born, i put my pump back on and cut all my basal rates in half immediately - my insulin needs dropped dramatically right after delivery.<br />
<br />
the doctor came in and we chatted about pain control options. she said she recommended and preferred i go ahead and get an epidural, because if she gave me pain-controlling medicine by IV, it would make the baby sleepy and prolong labor. i was not a fan of a labor any longer than necessary (hahaha, oh the irony.<i> keep reading.</i>). i was suddenly very nervous, because getting the epidural was the part that scared me the most. ya know, all fears come to the surface. what if it doesn't work, what if i end up paralyzed, what if... all those. i wasn't having much pain with my contractions so i didn't think i needed it yet, but i didn't want to wait until i was in a lot of pain, then have to sit around and wait for them to show up.<br />
<br />
it took a while for the anesthesiologist to come administer the epidural, at about 2 am she showed up. she stuck me once. it didn't go in right. she took it out. stuck me again. she didn't like how it went in, it wasn't making both sides of my body react how it should. <b>she took it out again.</b> stuck me again. it drew blood, she didn't like that.<b><i> she took it out again. </i>THREE TIMES.</b> katie and devon had been really good at chatting about nothing and distracting me, and they were just quiet. it was just a coincidence, but silence at that second was NOT GREAT. i started to internally panic that it wasn't going to work and i was going to deliver him naturally. i mean, i'm aware that women have been doing that literally forever, and still do it today, but that's just not me. sorry not sorry. i wanted the epidural. finally, she had me lay on my side and hug my knees as close as i could (not very close, haha). fourth time's a charm! shew.<br />
<br />
i laid back in bed and there i was. for the next day. 7 am came and went. shift change, katie left. i tried to nap.<br />

the hours crawled by, the UK game came on and went off (you all didn't think devon would miss a game, did you?). everyone said he'd be born during the game. nope. not even close. the game was at noon. i tried to nap more. the doctor came in and told me i really needed to try to sleep so i'd have the energy to push. so i napped.<br />

<br />
i was rolled from side to side, sat up, laid back. i had some more short naps. 7 pm came again. awesome nurse katie was back! i was so happy. the other nurses during the day were lovely, but they weren't katie. katie was honest with us. he wasn't going to be born on 12/13/14. they gave me some more epidural drugs.<br />
<br />
then, i got sick. i remembered what one of my nurse friends told me. if you start to get nauseous, it's close. it's a part of labor for many women. active labor is starting when you get sick. i couldn't properly sit my body up, but i woke up, kept trying to sit up, said i was going to be sick and was.<br />
<br />
...11 pm came and went. i'd been in labor for 25 hours. i was exhausted. but i felt like i hadn't done anything but lay there! i felt so tired, but the action hadn't even started. i remember saying that this is nothing like what i thought it would be. (i also remember asking why woment would ever want to do this without an epidural for that many hours, but that's just me.)<br />
<br />
finally, at 1 am, it was go time. time to push, everyone out of the room. katie said i could have the baby out in an hour. i remember looking at the clock between every push and contraction. a little progress, then nothing. THAT was the hard work. not painful work, just tiring. so tiring. but i was determined. that damn hour went by. i was so pissed that i didn't do it in an hour, i was so set on it not taking two hours. thank goodness, having c-section was NEVER mentioned. ...an hour and 30 minutes had passed.<br />
<br />
finally. at 2:34 she told me to stop pushing, popped her head out the door and said 'get in here girls!' to the other nurses and doctor. of course, my thought was, 'STOP PUSHING NOW?! NO!'<br />
<br />
then, after 28 hours of labor, at 2:35 am on december 14, we heard the most precious sound i have ever heard in my life. our son came into this world with a little cry, and our lives were forever changed in the best way possible.<br />

<br />
seriously, time/priorities/life has changed so blogging got bumped down the list quite a bit. ...ok, a lot. when i looked back at my <a href="http://withasideofinsulin.blogspot.com/2014/12/37-weeks.html?spref=tw" target="_blank">37 week picture</a>, i didn't even remember my baby bump being that big! and at the time, i didn't think it was big. haha.<br />
<br />
so. birth story. when i was pregnant, i remember searching the internet for various birth stories, especially from moms with type 1 diabetes. they helped me a lot! i like being prepared and knowing every possible scenario, that way i don't freak out if things don't go as i thought they would. i wanted to share mine for any other pregnant mommy who might be looking and i want to be able to look back at this myself in case i don't remember all the details someday. here's part 1 of the story.<br />
<br />
<br />
friday, december 12. i went to work as usual. i was feeling super uncomfortable, i knew i was waddling (because everyone felt the need to tell me, as if i couldn't feel myself walk/swaying) and moving at a much slower pace. nothing major was happening that day, i actually took the time to clean out my inbox and organize the <i>maternity leave</i> folder on my computer. i think my subconscious knew he was about to make his debut.<br />
<br />
that afternoon, my cousin invited us to dinner with my parents, my aunt and other cousins. devon and i met them right after work. i felt extra tired, just drained. but again, i was pregnant, so didn't think anything of it. i had been having what i THOUGHT were braxton hicks contractions all day. i had never experienced contractions, so i didn't know what to expect. my mom mentioned that it looked like he had REALLY dropped (after hearing that from various people for a few weeks).<br />
<br />
at dinner, my cousin was babysitting for our other cousin's 3 month old. the baby's mom called and asked if someone could keep her longer that evening, and i said if i wasn't almost 38 weeks pregnant i would. my cousin said into her phone, 'she could have her baby, like, at any moment.' and of course, i laughed it off because i knew we had a week until i was induced.<br />
<br />
when we got home, devon and i went in the basement to have our first holiday viewing of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097958/" target="_blank">Christmas Vacation</a>. we were going to relax and enjoy our last weekend as a family of two. the movie ended right before 10 pm, and back upstairs we went. i laid down on the couch in the living room while devon did a few quick things.<br />
<br />
i took the picture below and posted it on instagram, joking that our cat bella knew that the baby was coming soon because she had been at my side (literally) since we got home. wherever i was, she was. this was taken about 5 minutes before my water broke.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DBx3yIUNApYpYEnMYTRXMPsAzuddQO_fAJUJXiNK9JXN5KHfW4QStiIYBc6etsCk2F9GnuPscZhDEdrBJLPOYIOKRDO2nO0fIisL0F6qNDpIyz-gjRpyb4bqk6YV-GX7mLu8xr8p2Y92/s1600/bells.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0DBx3yIUNApYpYEnMYTRXMPsAzuddQO_fAJUJXiNK9JXN5KHfW4QStiIYBc6etsCk2F9GnuPscZhDEdrBJLPOYIOKRDO2nO0fIisL0F6qNDpIyz-gjRpyb4bqk6YV-GX7mLu8xr8p2Y92/s320/bells.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
as devon came over to the couch to sit down, i had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. (mom speak: i had to potty.) i jumped up from the couch and <i><b>ran </b></i>to the bathroom. i thought i had lost control of my bladder, thinking that must have been a symptom that i missed. awesome. 'do you have to go that bad?' was devon's reaction ... he hadn't seen my pregnant butt run <b>anywhere </b>for months.<br />
<br />
without the details you don't want to hear ... i was pretty sure my water had broken. i yelled, 'so, i think my water broke.' he was immediately googling symptoms of water breaking. i told him i had to call the doctor, even if this wasn't my water breaking, she was surely going to make me go to the hospital.<br />
<br />
i text my best friend. 'i think my water broke.' 'YOU BETTER NOT BE JOKING!' 'nope, i'm serious.'<br />
<br />
i was told the doctor would call back within 30 minutes, and 29 minutes later, she called (of course i remember how long that wait was!). all i got out was a brief description of why i thought my water broke and she said, 'yes. your water broke. come to the hospital now.'<br />
<br />
while we were waiting for the return call, we had added our last minute things to our hospital bags, so we were pretty much ready to go. i whined about not being able to take a shower before we left - even though i had one that morning, i didn't know when i'd get to have one again! - and i got in the car. in the driver's seat. yes, i drove us to the hospital. i wasn't having contractions and it felt better to drive so i didn't sit in the passenger seat and freak out that it was really happening.<br />
<br />
i remember every time i went to an appointment at my OB's office (connected to the hospital) that soon we'd get to park in the 'labor and delivery patients' parking spot ... well, when you get to the hospital at 11 pm on a friday, there's plenty of parking. so instead, we parked right next to that spot.<br />
<br />
when we got inside, i was taken right into a room and changed into a gown while i was asked a bunch of questions. it was only a few minutes before we realized this wasn't a false alarm. the nurse asked me to describe what i thought were braxton hicks. she told me those were contractions, that they are different for every woman, and what i was feeling (tightness all over my belly) were my contractions ... good to know, i had been randomly having them all day. but nothing consistent.<br />
<br />
devon called his parents while i called mine and my sister. we told them we'd let them know when something exciting was happening; we were just going to get some sleep (hahaha, yeah right) and wait.<br />
