    I just wanted to share my birth story and a few pictures of my girls.
    On Monday July 20th I woke up feeling a little funny and decided to move my 4:30 appt up to the earliest they had which was 10:45. I got to my appt and did the normal NST. Oh, my doctor was on vacation too!! That was a horrible feeling!! The only time he went on vaca since I'd been seeing him. I was contracting every 3 minutes and I was dilated to 2 so they decided to send me to the labor and delivery to monitor me since I was just 34 weeks and 3 days. I got there at 11:45 and called my hubby, told him what was going on but that it wasn't a big deal, I'd be going home soon I was sure. He came up to the hospital and it was a good thing too, as we were sitting there talking and laughing I felt a little gush and told him that I had either just peed on myself or my water broke and as we laughed about that there was definate certainty that my water had broke, what a safe place to be sitting when your water breaks, already in the hospital bed... haha!! Well, that was just 2 hours after I got to the hospital so that takes us to 1:45. By 2 I was dilate to 3 and decided to go ahead and get the epideral, by 3 I was at a 5 and at 4:30 I was at a full 10. Well, since my doc was on vaca and not available I had to use the doc on call and he was delivering 2 other ladies and believe it or not I was told to hold it till he could come deliver me. Hello, I had to hold a full 10 for 1 hour and 30 minutes, that was not fun at all. Finally they wheeled me to the OR and with about 5 sets of pushes Hailey June was born weighing 5 lbs and 3 oz and after only a few more pushes Kassidy Rose arrived weighing 4 lbs and 10 oz. Hailey needed oxygen for a few minutes after birth only and they were both in the NICU for 9 days, mainly cause they were having problems with feeding. They are pros at it now. We are home and couldn't be happier!! Here are a few pics.
