Double the fun!
...and double the not so fun...
I personally like grandma in the background playing "I'm gonna get you!" with Logan.

Doing Well
Everybody is doing very well. It is anticipated they will leave the hospital today and try to do the twins thing sans hospital nursery staff! :)
Luckily, both Kim and Michael have large supportive extended family that plan to step in and help as much as needed.

A few pictures
Everyone's doing really well. Brynlee and Brayden are both breathing great, and have even come to the room to be with mom and family. Kim is doing well.

The Twins Debut!
7:27 am - Kim and Michael dressed, epidural started and ready to go:
7:34 am - On the operating table and getting prepped.
7:41am - first incision made.
7:47 am - 2 beautiful babies crying!
Baby A - Girl - Brynlee
6 pounds 10 ounces
Baby B - Boy - Brayden
6 pounds 13 ounces
They are beautiful! I think they look just like Logan.
Brayden is having a little tougher time breathing, so he has been sent to the NICU.
Brynlee is doing well.

Tomorrow is the big day!
Tomorrow (Friday May 2) the twins will make their debut!
C-section is scheduled for the morning. Kim had a final ultrasound today. It was determined that Baby A (girl) is still breech. Baby B (boy) is head down. They don't like a baby A to be breech, it causes complications in a normal birth - thus, the C-section.
It was estimated that girl weighs 5 lbs 15 oz.
Baby boy estimated at: 7 lbs 2 oz.
I am always so curious how accurate these ultrasound estimations are. That's why I am including them in this post. :)
Logan was able to come for one final visit before his world is turned upside down. Ha ha! He'll just be so happy to have his Mommy and Daddy back he won't even notice 2 more babies in the house! :)

Kim has grown an inch in diameter in the last week...

Logan's casted foot and all...
Michael was sweet and brought Kim her favorite meal for her last supper before twins arrival.

Here we go!
This is exciting!

Almost There
Kim has been in the hospital for 18 days. She has been on nifedipine every 4 hours to stop labor. Today she hits the 36 week mark. Therefore, the Dr.'s are letting her go off the labor meds. Although the medicine isn't "proven" to 100% stop labor, it seems to have worked in Kim's case. At the 4 hour mark, her contractions start up as if her body knows its time for the meds again!
Kim is feeling big, uncomfortable and ready to be done.
As she said, "Large and in-charge!" This is how Kim's feeling these days:
So, we shall see when these babies actually arrive. Bets are on! The doctors and nurses see it go both ways from here, about 50/50. Some women deliver, others have prolonged it long enough that they end up having to be induced! She's hoping for the labor onset, not the waiting more weeks... :)

In other Bevan news - Logan fractured a bone in his foot (1st metatarsal - behind the big toe, in the foot). He is still mastering the skill of 'running.' He tripped over his own two feet while running and lost his balance. Apparently that was enough. He's been limping around for a few days, and a bump became visible yesterday. The dr. did an x-ray and found the fracture. Poor guy! So, they've got him in a splint for now, and will cast it once the swelling goes down.
I feel bad for Logan. But, I feel worse for Kimmo. Nothing worse than having to stay in a hospital and not be able to love on your little boy with a broken bone! She knows he's in good hands with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Melissa nearby...but it's still hard.
