Well the girls are here! My water broke Tuesday February 17th when we were leaving our last childbirth class. I called the doctor and they said to get to the hospital, thank goodness we were just across the road! When we got there they said I was in labor and had already started dilating. They immediatly gave the medicine to stop labor, it was weird they were saying I was having contractions but luckly was not feeling them yet. The doctor on call that night said he hoped that they could keep me pregnant a few more days or even another week since I was on 33 weeks along. David and I were awake the entire night freaking out and worrying about the babies. Wednesday morning the pain started!! I thought it was associated with the "pulled muscle" in my back but Dr. Shrout said the pain I had been feeling the past couple of days was labor. When she got there late Wednesday night she decided that she needed to take the babies b/c of low fluid and I was even more dilated. So an hour after she came the babies were born. The past week and a half have been a roller coaster. The girls had to go the NICU and have been doing pretty good except for eating. Now 13 days later the girls are coming home tomorrow. I am ready and scared to death at the same time. I know its going to be crazy around here for a few days but thank goodnesss I have my Mom here to help for 3 more weeks! More updates to come.
