January was a month full of unexpected events. Kristine's pregnancy was going as good as could be expected. She didn't get out much or do much. She was carrying around an extra 50 lbs of baby. The last ultrasound we had estimated baby A to weigh 8lbs 1oz and baby B to weigh 7 lbs 6 oz. WOW. Once a week we had an ob-gyn appointment and a non-stress test. Everything was normal.
Kaitlyn turned 4 years old this month. On the day of Kaitlyn's birthday Kristine was having contractions all day, but before the birthday party she started shaking. After the party we took her to the hospital. After an epidural and a "good nights" sleep the twins were born the next morning.
Joseph was the first twin born (only one push) and James was the second baby born. Joseph was a vaginal birth and James was an emergency c-section. Joseph couldn't breath and was in-tubated and life-flighted to IMC. After 13 days in the NICU with breathing problems a cyst was found in his airway and removed. James was in the hospital a few days for high bilirubin numbers.
Life still goes on in the midst of health problems. We had a lot of snow in January. The kids had fun playing in the snow. Jonathan did his science project on the ph of different liquids and had a snow campout with the scouts. We were blessed to have lots of help: meals, babysitting and carpools. We are especially greatful for the miracle of modern medicine that made it possible for Joseph to be on his way to being healed.
