On Saturday morning 12:15am...38 weeks 2 day pregnant...asleep in my bed...I woke-up thinking I just needed to pee yet again. NOPE. My water broke! I went to the potty and luckily my mother had decided to spend the night with me because I had been having some minor pain in my pubic bone all day and she just had this "motherly intuition." I called mom...."I think my water broke!!" She came running, took a look, and it was confirmed. I sat on the toilet, while mom gathered everything! She got my cell, I called Labor and Delivery, alarmed them that I was coming. We got up there...not to much pain, contractions every 10 minutes. Got to the hospital, my doc was not on call this weekend. There was a new doc. HE WAS AWESOME. It freaked me out that I was fixing to have twins delivered by some "new guy in town." But, no way...He came in and told me he had twins (B/G)! Awesome!!! To the labor part...

IT WAS HORRIBLE! CHILDBIRTH HURTS! AH. LOL. B/c there was only one doc on call I had to wait for an emergency c-section to be performed and then the OR to be cleaned...then I could have them. Needless to say I was in SEVERE pain by the time I had the c-section. These babies wanted out. I was having contractions 2 minutes apart when I got to the hospital. Then they went to 1 minute apart for an hour and a half!!! I felt the need to push, but Aiden was breech, so I couldn't or he could be injured. So I was screamin' like crazy, lol. Breathin only worked for a while yall. MAN...then the anesthesiologist (an-man) came in!! They wheeled me down the hall to the OR and made me strattle the table for my SPINAL (YAY!!!) I could hardly lean forward for anything. I was dilated to a 4 30 minutes prior so, I know I was a 5 or better. My belly was on the table, how in the world could I bend over more??? So, they physically pushed me and then in went the spinal. That was around 3:10. I had the babies (BOTH OF THEM IN THE SAME MINUTE!!!) at 3:21 am!!! 321, blast off!!! Those boys wanted OUT!! It was an awesome experience!!! THE BEST IN THE WORLD!! Aiden came out first weighing 5lbs. 5oz. and Alex second at 5lbs 11oz.!!! YAY!!! Both healthy as ever, perfect APGAR tests! In fact as soon as the nurse layed down Alex to clean him he started peeing!! I have lots of pics. I can't wait to show yall! By the way...My c-section recovery is going well. Today is a good day. Yesterday was HORRIBLE. The 3rd day is the worst in my opinion. We are just now able to get things on track. There are on a perfect schedule! They sleep like angels. Sometimes it's hard for them to eat the full 2oz. but now...they are pros! They have both gained at least 2oz. as of yesterday when we left the hospital, so I know they are doing good. I LOVE MY BOYS!! Oh yeah...YALL...they have GOT to be identical!!! We cannot them a part, except finally we figured one thing out...the very top part of the ridge of their ears is a little different. Crazy huh?? Tell me what you think in the pictures...They look a LOTTT like me, in fact, nothing like their biological father really. My boyfriend was there every step of the way. He stayed up 48 hours when I had them and he helped out all weekend with feeding, diapering, EVERYTHING. He stayed there and everything. He's so tired. I love him so much! And he loves these boys too! Good luck with your pregnancies ladies and CONGRATS! Having children is SUCH a blessing from God!!! :0)

UPDATE!! 8 DAYS OLD

Way too busy to write yall back, SO SORRY!! It is realllllly hard with two...That's all I can say. There is no way I could have done it by myself. I get 3 hours sleep a night, NO MORE. So much for the angels on the perfect schedule. They eat like every 2 hours now, and they eat 3oz. sometimes...somebody tell me this is normal, lol. They still look exactly alike! When they get older I'm gonna have them tested for being identicals. Every day I love them more and more...

Holding Them Together for the First Time

"Our First Easter" 2008

UPDATE!! 3 WEEKS OLD

The boys are doing great!! At their 2 week old appointment they weighed 6lbs. 4oz. (Aiden) and 6lbs. 8oz. (Alex)! They measured the same in head circumfrence and they were both 19 inches long. I think Aiden is trying to catch up with ol' Alex! Things are getting a little easier. As you can see I got some time to get on here and give an update. Sometimes I get a break but, I just take a nap, lol. They are now eating 4oz. 3oz. just wasn't cutting it anymore. I can't believe that they will be a month old on next Tuesday, only 6 days away. They don't go back to the doctor until they are 2 months. I really like their pediatrician. She has 3 month old twin girls and has plenty of tips and her head nurse has twin boys. It's so nice for her to know what we are going through!

UPDATE!! 3 months old!

Okay. I know that I haven't been good at all about updates at all. But, I still get on here from time to time when I get a chance and I do check-up on some of yall that I've talked to for months. Well a lot has happened in my life. The boys and I have moved twice! I moved in with my parents for a few weeks until my boyfriend finished remodeling a house for us. We are now a happy little family. He is an amazing man who takes good care of us. He lets me be a stay at home momma. I was so worried about putting the boys in a daycare here, because in this town there is only one good daycare and the boys have been on the waiting list ever since I found out I was pregnant, and I still haven't gotten a call. So YAY!! I love taking care of the boys and cooking and cleaning and all that good stuff! I don't have the internet at our house yet. So, that's why I don't update much. We live out in the country! :0) So when the boys get older they can dig in the dirt and do boy things, lol. The boys laugh all the time! The other day I was in Wal-Mart and I had Alex with me (my parents had a buggy with Aiden somewhere else in Wally world...I never leave one behind), and Alex kept laughin realllly loud, people kept lookin at my buggy and giving me some funny looks, lol. I had to put a paci in his mouth, lol. They probably weigh 15 lbs. I don't really know. We don't go back to the doctor until July 15th (4 months). At their 2 months appt. we found out that Aiden has a heart murmer and we went to a specialist. The specialist says he is just fine although his pulmonary valve doesn't open up all the way either, she said it is not bad enough for surgery and to treat him no different than his twin. You can't tell that anything is wrong with him. He plays just as hard as his brother. The boys love to sit up and look around. Alex rolled over a full week and a half before he turned 2 months old. I'm still waiting on Aiden. Today he rolled over while being proped up on a pillow, but I don't count that. They sleep so much better now. They wake up at 2:30 and 5 am. and then we get up at 8 :0) I just started using the fast nipples, so feedings fly by and I'm back in bed and they are back to sleeping in 15 minutes! I thought I'd never see the day. The other night they only woke up at 4am but, they haven't done it again. Lets see.... Alex is at least a pound bigger than Aiden now. Alex is just a hungrier boy, lol. They are so precious. They get so much easier at 3 months. I find it easier to go places now, especially when someone comes with me. Hope all the other twin mommies are doing good with your babies! I'm watching a baby story on TLC. This couple just had triplets. WOW. I just can't imagine. My boyfriend wants 6 children. AHH. I told him only 3. Unless I have twins again. And I told him there's got to be a ring on my finger!! I've got the Mirena IUD thing right now. I like it so far. Alright. Talk to yall later!!
