I AM A MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!

What a week! Let me rephrase what an AWESOME week!!!!!!

I had my last steroid shot on Tuesday, the 1st of September. The next morning I took my last dose of brethine (you know the pill that stops contractions). It was just a matter of time.

Callista failed the NST the morning of the 2nd and we were going to have anymore BPP's, if she failed they were going to deliver me. I also had a doppler flow scheduled and of course she was absent ended flow. Perfect, what now?

I came back from the doppler flow and they wanted to do another NST to see if she could pass this time around before making the call to deliver. If Callista passed, we would be scheduled to deliver on Tuesday the 8th. Well, Callista passed the NST, but guess what? I start having contractions that range from 2-6 minutes a part. I had bragged about how I haven't had a contraction since I took my last brethine pill. They showed me.

I was contracting at regular intervals, so I had an internal. I was 2 cm and 70% effaced. They let me to continue to contract for another 2 hours or so. I had another internal, I was 3 cm and 80% effaced, the resident also felt Savannah's sac. I was officially in labor and they were clearing an OR out for me. I was going to have a c-section!!!! THE BABIES ARE COMING!!!!!!!

We had to clear out my room quick, I was being taken from my room to the OR and then of course to labor and delivery. We make our way back to the OR, it was me, Aaron, my mom and dad along with his mom and dad. We get to the point where only Aaron can come with me and everyone was in tears. I hugged and kissed everyone, I was off to delivery!!!!!!!!!

Aaron had to stop and put scrubs on while I was prepped. I get in the OR and they start the IV fluids, well my IV must have been in wrong because my skin started bubbling up. They had to start a new IV in my right hand and take out the left. What a way to start.

I receive my epidural and I am in no pain from the waist down, I was numb and warm. The c-section gets started.... It went quick to...

First born Savannah, I heard a nice cry and scream. My eyes filled with tears! It was amazing. She was born at 9:40 pm. Callista was born a minute later at 9:41 pm. I was holding my breath until she cried!!!!! She screamed and cried. I had two beautiful babies that cried, great lung function!!!!

Aaron was so cute to watch during the delivery. He didn't know where to go. He had the flip camera and the digital camera, chasing and following babies around. As they were closing me up they had to whisk the babies away to NICU. They needed no assistance with breathing, no oxygen. This was HUGE. Aaron followed the babies, I told him to go.


BIRTHDATE: September 2nd, 2009 (9/02 was our original wedding date, how cute they were born on this date)
Savannah Elizabeth weighed 4 lbs 5 oz, 17 3/4 inches and apgar score of 9! 9:40 om
Callista Kathleen weighed 2 lbs 12 oz, 16 inches and apgar score of 8! 9:41 pm

They were perfect!!!! They are being kept in NICU as feeders and growers! They have to eat, gain and maintain body temp in order to come home with me and Aaron. I can't wait until this happens!

I was in recovery for about an hour and then I was taken past the babies before going to my L&D room.
