They're Here!!

My twins were born on Thurs. I asked about going to a different hospital since I could no longer even walk and I had started to swell and was 2 days past 37 weeks which is usually considered full term for twins plus the timing would be great with Martin Luther King day being a holiday. I was medically induced and unfortunately opted for the epidural, which I hate, to make sure they would not give me a c-section. I'm disappointed that my doctor didn't have more confidence in my easy labors and deliveries, but I am very relieved to have my twin boys here safe and sound. My labor took about 3 hours, and really couldn't have gone any better except for the epidural. So I am counting my blessings.

Anyway, twin A was 6 lbs. 10 oz. and twin B was 6 lbs. 11 oz. and they look nothing alike, nor do they really look like any of my other kids. It's pretty funny. I'm so looking forward to raising them and having such a nice big family. I just love newborns. It's nice for the older kids too because everybody gets a turn to hold one of them. So far they are sleeping a lot. I have to take advantage of it. It's going to take some time for my body to recover from this amazing pregnancy. Thanks for all your kind words in my complaining post!!
