Welcome Babies!!!!! July 31st., 2010

To tell you the truth, it took us all by surprise.... Everything happened so fast that it was a bit hard to assimilate it... but, Yes, the quintuplets were born! The delivery occurred yesterday between 2: 23 and 2: 25 pm by c-section and the babies were sent to intensive care.
Yesterday morning I was with my sisters Grecia and Viviana, my cousin Denisse, my mom and my aunt Loli. I was feeling contractions but I was not worry because I thought that I was dehydrated (as it happened the previous weekend). I wanted to take a shower first and then call the nurse, and while I was giving it a thought, I told my family to go home to rest and to bring me watermelon upon their return! Only Viviana stayed with me "just in case".

This is how i looked that morning.....

(my sister Viviana is in the back, also taking pictures)

After they left, I decided to call the nurse first and then to take a shower. The nurse that was monitoring my contractions called the doctors on duty because i was having contractions every minute but I just felt the strong ones. When the doctor came and checked me, (20 minutes after my mom left to go home) she told me I had 4 to 5 inches of dilation then a second doctor came and said that I was actually 7 centimeters dilated.  Immediately, my sister called my husband which was helping a friend two and a half hours far from the hospital and also called my sister Grecia to come back with my mom.
My nurse took me to the surgery room to prepared me (I felt crucified with all the needles and the I.V.) and my mom arrived just in time!
The surgery took like 30 to 40 minutes, but the babies were born within two minutes. There was a large group of nurses, pediatricians and doctors taking care of us and I am very grateful for the attention but above all thank God that everything went well.

This is their 1st picture (taken at the delivery room)

Can you see the letter on their hats??? So funny...

Getting bigger and tired....

Everyday I wake up, order my breakfast, take a shower, dress up, and put make up on... (I even blow dry my hair), .....but today I can hardly move. I fell so heavy!

Still, my sister made me to stand up to take a picture of my belly!

I also had an ultrasound done today and I heard the babies heart beat..... sorry, NO ultrasound pictures at this time....

Not much...

I don't have much to tell you. Right now, I am 28 weeks and 2 days..... and I am weighting 228 pounds.
Doctors expect me to deliver at the 34th week.... so far so good!

with my own pajamas.... I do not like the hospital gowns

Hospital Admission...

Is it time or not? Only God knows..... but for sure I no longer want to be traveling back and forth from the doctors office.... It is a good 40-45 minutes travel time if there is no traffic.
Now, the main reason is because I got really scared after the car accident I had back on the 4th of July. Yes... while some of you were watching the fireworks in the Woodlands area, I was taken to the Memorial Hermann by the ambulance. We were exiting on the Woodlands Parkway and all of the sudden the cars in front of us started pressing the breaks... and so we did... but the car behind us couldn't.  The other car threw us to first and second lane from the right.... we were blocking the way... and for a few seconds I got speechless watching how the cars coming our way started to shift to the other lanes to not hit us...  Enrique's words were "are you ok? are you ok?" to which I responded "yes..... move the car out of the way" and so he did. Honestly God is great because we could have died.
Any how.... today is my first day as inpatient!!!!
