The boys are finally here! We are so thankful to God for a safe, quick and painless delivery and that we have two healthy boys! We went to the hospital at 4:30pm, got checked in and got all prepped with IV and all by 5:30pm. Earlier that morning at the Dr.’s office I was already dilated 4cm so we had a little bit of a head start for inducing. They started the pitocin shortly after we arrived and at 9pm they gave me my epidural. Once that set in they broke Baby A’s water and things really moved quickly after that. I went from 5cm to 8cm in 4o minutes and then 8cm to 10cm in the next 30 minutes. I pushed for about 5 minutes and Davis was born at 11:17pm. Then they broke Baby B’s water and I pushed another 5 minutes and 10 minutes later at 11:27pm Jackson was born. Dustin was such a help throughout the whole delivery and was able to cut both of their cords.
We decided that Baby A was going to be Davis Michael because he came out with a full head of red, curly hair just like my Dad. He was 6lb. 8oz. and 19” long. Jackson Lewis was 5lb. 14.5oz. and 19” long. Both were very healthy and passed all their tests and we were all cleared to leave on Thursday around 1pm. The nurses at the hospital were great with stuffing our stroller with diapers and formula galore – it looked like Dustin was a bell hop pushing a bell cart out of a hotel when we left. My recovery has been fairly easy and I’m feeling more normal everyday.
Abby has been very good throughout this new change and is such a helper girl. Things are starting to settle down now…all we lack is SLEEP! :)
