Night: 30' on the trainer. HR 137.

Decided to put my bike on the trainer as I haven't been riding outside as I have been worried Megan would go into labor. Working on my TV setup.

Off.

Megan has an appointment around 7:30AM and her blood pressure was quite high for a prolonged period of time, so they decided to do an emergency C-section. The boys were born at 2:51 and 2:52.

Welcome to the world Charles Wallace Dodge (4lbs 14 oz) and Sawyer Graham Dodge (5 lbs 2 oz).

Sawyer had to go into the NICU pretty quickly as he wasn't breathing normally on his own (something that happens with early twins). Charlie was fine for a while, but then had to go in as well. They improved a good deal over night and as of Wednesday morning are doing fine breathing on their own. We went in to hold them as Megan really didn't get so interact with or hold Sawyer yesterday. I saw him and visited him, but  haven't held him yet.

PM: 60' on TrainerRoad (Lazy Mountain). HR 118.

I stayed at the hospital last night after coming home to check on the cats. The boys were doing well. Megan might be there until Satursday and it all depends on how the boys are progressing for when they are coming home, but things look promising. 

I'm staying at home tonight to feed the cats and make sure they don't get too off schedule and weirded out before the boys come home and their life really starts to get interesting :-)

Working on school work and making revisions to Megan's classes and answering her students' emails. I told them to just email me as I am working on the same materials.
