My twins have arrived
My twin boys were born early at 35 weeks 3 days on the 16th January. Hayden William (5 lb 12) and Jared Christopher (5lb 9)
They came very quickly and I ended up giving birth naturally even though Hayden was breech.
Soon after birth Jared was having difficulty breathing and it turns out that his oesophagus was not properly formed and the bottom part was joined to his wind pipe instead of to the top part. He had difficulty breathing and no way of feeding. He had to have an op when he was less than 24 hours old and is currently in NICU.
I stayed in the hospital for a week with Hayden and now we are home but Jared s still in NICU 50 miles away
He has been paralysed for the last week to try and avoid bursting his internal stitches as the join was very tight. We will find out tomorrow whether the op has worked.

Great to hear that you are home with Hayden. Crossing my fingers that your other little one is all ok. It must have been so hard to go through that when they are still so tiny. You and your little ones must be so brave!

Glad you are home with Hayden, sorry Jared is so far away.
How is he getting on now, I guess it's been a couple of days since you found out if the op worked? xxx
Hope Jared is doing ok after his op. xx
hope his chest infection clears quickly, keep us updated on his progress xx
