To say that you can never prepare yourself for this type of Journey is an understatement. From the trip to the ER, to the helicopter ride, to the birth of my beautiful girls time has just flown. We are so blessed that the girls were at least 31 weeks, and that we were able to hold off a couple days to allow enough time for the steroids to be used.
One thing that continually amazes me and reinforces the love I have for my husband is how solid and wonderful he has been. Because I had to have an emergency C-section he has had to be the rock for us both, and the girls. He has been there to take care of me, as well as the girls, and even more so with my limitations. Though I know he has been stressed and overwhelmed beyond belief he has remained calm and strong for all of us and there are no words to express what that means to me. To see his love and dedication to his daughters instantly warms my heart, and to see them react to him is priceless. They know when their daddy is in the room, and it seems to have a calming effect on us all.
Along with my husband, the support of family and friends has been a huge help. From the first sign of trouble on Monday the 20 of July to Wednesday the 22nd, all the grandparents were able to fly in. Having them there to help and support us was invaluable. I loved that they were able to be a part of the birth of their granddaughters. Without question this whole process would have been far more difficult without their presence and assistance.
