Here's the latest...

Tues and wed (july 5-6) I was at ZCH as a pt for preterm labor. They were able to stop my labor and get me the antibioitcs and betamethasone injections to speed up lung development. babies both looked great the whole time I was there.

This past Tuesday I didn't feel great but have had too much going on with buying a new house and selling ours. So I rested tues and wed and called the dr. I wasn't feeling the baby boy move anymore but had just read that multiple pregnancies at my stage feel less movement cuz there is less room (obviously)! Went in thursday morning to my regular OB check up and there was no heartbeat. Went to hospital for U/S and confirmed. Same afternoon went to GR and saw a high risk OB specialist as to what my options were. U/S measurements revealed baby girl wasnt growing well so we induced labor on friday afternoon.

Addison Joy was born 11:43 pm on July 15; 16 inches long and 3#
   She is in NICU but doing AWESOME!! No breathing help at all since birth; 100% on RA. We can take her out of her incubator and hold her anytime. She has an NG tube and is tolerated her feedings yesterday well and she sucked her pipe the whole time (to associate sucking with eating). Hopefully we can bring her home soon!!

Landon John was born 12:06 am on July 16; 17.5 in long and 3# 15oz. He had a ton of hair too and BIG feet. Looks so much like his sister :) He is up in heaven playing with all his great grandparents :)

We dont understand why this has happened especially after everything we have already gone through. This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to deal with and really puts the small things in perspective. We are trying to deal with the mixed emotions of happpiness/excitement for Addison while still mourning the loss of Landon.
