    I am exhausted but I wanted to post something tonight and I woke up for a litle bit so here goes...

    Charlotte Judith Laverty came into the world at 8:41am weighing 4 lbs 4 oz and 17 1/4 inches long. Parker Scott Laverty came into the world at 8:43am weighing 2 lbs 15 oz and 15 inches long. Both of my babies are doing fantastic!!! They are in the NICU but have been on room air only so far and have both taken a bottle feed - albeit 3ml but they took it. I know it will be a roller coaster but I am just so so happy and proud of them. :woohoo:

    The C section was scary but not at all as bad as I worked it up to be. I had an incredible team in the OR and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I am def in pain, and am trying to stay ahead of my meds, but this is def is tough... :(

    I have to wait for my husband to upload pix and then I will post them...

    THANK YOU ALL...for all of your support, prayers and positive thinking!!!!!

    me too! I'm so glad to hear they have arrived safe and sound.

    Those are good weights, especially for your little boy...he is truly a miracle.

    Keep us posted as much as you are able, I know you have an older daughter.

    Oh, that's so wonderful! You done good, mama! :clapping: And here I was feeling sorry for myself this morning because of my insomnia and, put into perspective, I realize that's totally unimportant compared to what you have been through. I'm very glad to read your good news! Happy birthday, Charlotte & Parker!
