Birth Story

My c-section went great! The actual prep was the hardest part. It was a tad awkward laying there half naked as a room full of strangers walked around preparing for surgery. Once we got started though, it was a breeze. I could only feel a little bit of pressure the entire time. Dh was beside me and we just kept talking about how crazy it was to be living in that moment of having our babies delivered. About 15 mins into it, our doc told DH to get the camera ready b/c Baby A was on her way. He snapped a few pics and then Baby B was born a minute later. They both came out screaming. I thought I would be a mess of tears, but DH and I both just started laughing with joy as did the entire room of docs, nurses, med students, etc... It was like a huge celebration.
Baby A - Keira was 5lbs 8oz
Baby B - Ella (whos named we changed last minute - it was going to be Elle) was 5lbs 9oz.
They showed me the babies really quick and then took them to be evaluated. DH kept getting up to snap a few pics of them to show me. They were just so beautiful!  It took awhile for them to finish my c-section after the babies were born, so DH and I just continued to laugh as we listened to them scream. It was great! We were then sent to recovery where DH and I fed them for the first time with formula.
The hospital stay was great. I loved being taken care of 24/7 and loved that the babies were as well. We sent them to the nursery at night, so we could sleep and they could be watched over and fed. The nurses were wonderful, I didnt even mind them changing my underwear and pads when I physically could not. It took me about four days to be able to walk again w/o pain, but the recovery was decent. The pain meds really helped as did all the people taking care of me at the hosptial. I just loved being there. It wasnt until we got home when my emotions went crazy.
The day I got home, I just cried and cried. I missed the hospital so much, and was/am scared of what lies ahead. Its SUCH a HUGE life changer for us.  I don't have any ill feelings towards the babies, I just love being with them. I pump for them and feed them only breast milk - which is what I wanted. But for some reason I can't quit crying. DH and my parents have been wonderful though. They help so much and listen to me cry. My mom spends the night with me so DH can sttn, which is really helping right now. The babies though are pretty low key. They eat, sleep and pee/poop - so we are thankful to have such mellow babies as we adjust to our new life with them.
Their health is also great. The apgars scores were awesome, hearing tests passed, doc visit was good - so all is well with them. Now, if I could just get myself together.
