We have lots of exciting news in our family, so I thought it was time I share with my followers what is going on in the world of Nana and family!!
Our late Spring/ early Summer started out with BOTH my daughters pregnant at the same time!! They were only a couple weeks apart on their due dates. Our oldest daughter, Crystal expecting twins (a boy and a girl) and Tiffany expecting a girl.
Crystal’s twins, Kenneth and Karra were born at 4:02 pm , 7/11/17, weighing in at 4.2 lbs , 17 inches long and 4.1 lbs , 16.5 inches long. They were premature, as mom was only 34 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Even though they came 2 weeks earlier than we had hoped, they are doing fantastic!! They were born breathing on their own, although Karra did have to have a little oxygen to give her a small kick start and she had a feeding tube the 1st 48 hours as well. As of today, they are 1 week old and their pediatrician is extremely happy with how they have progressed. They have been in an isolette since they were born to assist them in maintaining their body temperatures. Each day , they have been weaned down just a little , and today we were told that hopefully by tomorrow Karra will be able to move to a regular crib. Their little isolette monitors have to be at 28 for a 24 hour period. We will know more tomorrow on that. Her brother Kenneth is right behind her, as his monitor is reading 28.5.
