On March 16, Ricky and I welcomed two little leprechauns to the Milwagon clan. Violet and Indigo Milwagon were born at 24 weeks gestation, 16 weeks before their due date and a mere 4 weeks after we found out that we were having twins. We certainly did not have much time to get used to the idea. They both weighed 1 pound 3 ounces and were about 12 inches long. Violet's amniotic sac burst at only 22 weeks, after which I was placed on strict bed rest in an effort to reach 24 weeks - the earliest point that most babies are considered viable. We barely made it! They are true miracle babies.
The babies are currently at the University of Medical Sciences in Little Rock where the doctors are experts on ultra-premature babies. They are both fighters and so far have overcome the daily issues that their little bodies are barraged with. They are also both sporting the Milwagon signature strawberry blond hair and are therefore cute as the dickens!
