My Birth Story

Peyton and Claire are here


Peyton Jeffrey Briggs 5lbs 10oz Born at 8:53pm June 27th, 2007

Claire Elaine Briggs 4lbs 10oz Born at 8:54 June 27th, 2007

I started having frequent contractions June 27th ( more than usual) and just felt different and a little nausious, so my doctor told me to go to the hospital. I got to hosp about 6:45, they monitored me and babies and checked me and found I was dialated to 3-4 so doctor planed a C-Sec for 8:30 pm. Wow that was quick, I ve never had a c-sec so I was used to waiting and waiting for birth to happen. Knowing when it would happen and that it was less than an hour away, I got so nervous I was shaking the whole time before and during birth. Anyway they were born and both came out crying and had good apgar scores. I was 35 weeks and 6 days, so just a few hours shy of 36 week babies. Peyton needed oxygen for a few hours, he had got fluid in his lungs during birth, but then was fine and on room air. Claire was right on room air and fine. Both babies had to get strong enough to eat enough before they could go home. Claire picked it up a little quicker and got to go home on day 5 ( one day after me), Peyton wasn't eating well so he didn't get to go home till day 8. That was really hard leaving them at the hospital. I went to visit once or twice and day and stayed the night two nights. It was the best feeling ever when the doctor said they could go home. Now we are all home and doing well. They are eating good and sleeping good. They are great babies. My other three children are adjusting well, theres a little jealousy but for the most part they are very excited and always willing to help. Ill put some pics of lucas, noah and ella holding the babies, soon.
