Today's the Day!

I went out for another doctor's appointment at 37weeks. They noticed baby B's heart rate went down, then back up. So they were going to send me to the hospital to be monitored to make sure everything was ok. Then they checked me and I was almost 4cm dialated. It was just me and Chone, and they almost didn't let me drive myself to the hospital. I called Luis and Elaine to come to the hospital. Even though Elaine was farther away, she got there first. We met Luis and they monitored me and did an ultrasound to see how the babies were positioned. Baby A (girl) had her feet down, so they said I would have to have a c-section. They said it would be a few hours. I couldn't believe I was finally going to see my babies!

My daughter was born on August 22, 2006 at 4:18pm weighing 5lbs. 14oz, and my son at 4:20pm weighing 5lbs 7oz. They both had apgar scores of 9 at birth. One of the doctors said he had never seen twins that both had 9's. I got to see the babies up close for a few seconds. I had a great anesthesiologist that took some pictures for us in the operating room. Here is Luis with the babies.

I was in recovery until about 8 because they couldn't get me a room. I was so happy when they took me to my room, I wanted to see my babies. When I got to my room they said they would bring the babies in a while cause they were still doing test and stuff. (Which I don't understand since it had been 4 hours since they were born) So all my visitors came in to say bye since visiting hours were over. Some of them didn't even get to see the twins. Thank you everyone who came out to the hospital that day! I felt the love! A little after 9 they finally brought in my babies to me. They were so cute and tiny!! I couldn't believe they were finally here!!
