Poor little babies...

I guess I skipped a bunch of time in the middle, but I found out my poor little babies have triple X syndrome chromosomal abnormality. One has a clubfoot and fused knees so it always looks like she is doing an irish Jig, and the other has a small heart valve leakage problem that makes her heartbeat sound a bit like a galloping horse. 
 
Add this to the news that they are twins (TTTS anyone?), Monoamniotic (very rare), have cords placed farther apart on the placenta than most Momo twins thus increasing the chance of entanglement, and a big knot right off the bat, and you see why I was in a funk for a while.
 
Add to this that I don't know where I will be living when I get out of the hospital, I don't have any money, I have no baby things or a nursery, and I don't have any money saved, and you see my dilemma.
 
I had to race around and get them the most I could. I now have their medical covered by medicaid, food by WIC, and hopefully soon a home for them. I am applying for disability for when I am in the hospital and leaving the rest for the universe to take care of while I concentrate on getting them into this world as best I can.
 
Thank you everyone who helped during this time and the times to come!!
