Twin Time!!

We had the girls' shower on Sunday, March 22. Monday morning I got ready for work as usual. When I got to work,I noticed a little spotting and decided to call the doctor. I felt fine, no cramping or contractions. The nurse said to come in for monitoring. I figured they check me out and send me back to work, I even told everyone I'd be back in a few hours. WRONG!! It seemed like I was going to get released until the nurse examined me... I was dilated between a 4-5cm! I panicked and started crying. Just because we had the girls' shower didn't mean I was ready for babies!! So I called Ryan and my Mom and they came as soon as possible, along with Kelsey. I'm so glad I called when I did. I could have had babies at work! No more showers or babies! Same thing happened with Zac- his shower was on a Saturday, he was born the following Thursday. We decided that a C-Section would be the safest for the girls, since one was still transverse. It went pretty well. It was not knowing what to expect was the scary thing. The most painful part in my opinion was the steroid shot they gave me in my back to try and stop the contractions, which it was too late for it to have any affect. But the spinal and the actual procedure went smoothly. All the nurses couldn't believe I was carrying twins. When they'd check my staples, they were amazed at how flat my belly was, of course that's the last thing on my mind. I delivered the girls on Monday and was released on Thursday. It feels so good to be at home. But it was so hard to leave the girls at the hospital. We know they're in the best care right now.
