Sheri and I are at the hospital, and the twins were born by emergency c-section yesterday at 12:36 pm. what started the ball rolling was sheri had a 4 hr. ultrasound on wed. which indicated jacob's blood flow was low, which was the reason for their low weights. there was also indications that the placentas were in distress; their efficiency was steadily declining. sheri was admitted for observation at which point we were told that her delivery was days away. the push was to keep them in sheri until the last possible moment, as creating the placenta and womb conditions could be simulated, but nature is always the preferable choice. anyway, thursday morn. jordan's heartrate dropped, which was an indication that both were in distress. so they had to come out. Jacob Jay was 1 lb. 10 oz. Jordan Rae was 1 lb. 13 oz. both were born at 12:36 pm.

although the twins are premies, initial indications are good all things considering. both are in ventilation and iv's, but are making great progress. no abnormalities, except everything is premature. sheri will probably be released monday. the twins sray in the neo natal icu until they are at least 5 lbs., eating and digesting well and steadily gaining poundage. they are in the best care as is sheri. ill send u sone pics in a little while. both twins are out of immediate danger, but they still have a long way to go. but everything looks good so far.
