The twins are coming...

Craig and I get to the hospital about 1:00 pm. They get me settled into my room and Dr. Penman comes in to see me and do a quick ultrasound to make sure the babies are still breach and if so we need to do a c-section. Carter was still sitting there instead of being head down so on with the c-section. Dr. Penman informs me that I have preeclampsia and because my blood pressure is so high he is worried that I am going to start having seizures at any minute and starts me on some lovely medicine that makes me feel like I am drunk and really hot. Can things really get worse? Nope, they are about to get better because within the next few hours Craig and I get to meet our amazing twins. Carter is born at 4:43 pm weighing in at 5 lb 13.8 oz and measuring 19 1/2 inches long. Morgan is born one minute later at 4:44 pm weighing in at 5 lb 13 oz, and measuring 20 inches long. I know that is strange that they weighed basically the same thing, especially considering that the ultrasound that Dr. Penman had done the week before Morgan was measuring about 6 1/2 lb. Both babies were healthy and neither one of them needed to go the NICU. I had to stay on the nasty meds until the next day, I pretty much just floated through the day. After three days I got to go home with both babies in tow. I had done my job... I carried those two wonderfully amazing babies until they were big enough to leave the hospital with me.
