They're Here - Joseph William and Jacob Matthew

I'm finally posting the baby details! After being induced on Wednesday night, I went through some hard labor for the evening. Unfortunately, things did not progress exactly as wanted and contractions stopped on Thursday. Due to some concern on one of the babies not growing consistently over the last 3 weeks, they decided to schedule a C-section for Thursday evening.

Joseph William Strom was born Thursday, January 18th at 8:31 pm at 4 lbs 12 oz, 18 inches
Jacob Matthew Strom was born Thursday January 18th at 8:33 pm at 4 lbs 12 oz, 17 1/4 inches


The babies are still in special care at Beaumont Troy Hospital. They are progressing well. Both were in incubators with IV's the first few days. Now they are in cribs maintaining their temperature but being monitored for apnea (which they have to be free of incidents for 5 days before being released). They will probably stay in the hospital for another week so we are visiting for feedings as often as possible.
