Move in delay....Emily and Ellery are here!

Ellery Rae Singer
Emily Elizabeth Singer

So the big move into the house was supposed to be this weekend. The house was all ready, I had taken an extra day off so I'd have four days to help do what I could normally do in two days when I wasn't 6 months pregnant. Then at 4:30 am on Friday Feb 15th my water broke. 30 minutes later we were in the ER and told that I would be on bed rest at the hospital until the babies were born. I was only 26 weeks along a the time so this could have been as long as another 12 weeks in the hospital. We thought things were slowing down and I was stable but then at 4:00am on Saturday Feb 16th I started having horrid pains. Found out that I was 8 cm dilated and within minutes was in the OR getting prepped for a C-section. At 5:09am Ellery Rae Singer was born weighing 2lbs 1oz and 14 inches long and at 5:10am Emily Elizabeth Singer was born weighing 1lb 13oz and 13 3/4 inches long. Not at all how I thought my extremely easy and smooth 26 weeks of pregnancy would turn out.


One day later, I am doing great recovering from my surgery. Both babies will be in the Nicu for at least 10 weeks and are doing pretty good. It's a day by day waiting game, but they are little fighters and oh so cute. I can't wait to one day be able to pick them up. For now, just a few quick visits and lots of love will have to do.
