Quick Update

On July 20th, after a long c-section with some complications (on my part, not the babies) Emma Cate was born at 4:31pm and Holden followed after at 4:32. Emma Cate was 18 inches long and 4lbs 15oz. Holden was 19 inches long and 5lbs 14oz.

Emma Cate needed oxygen but was able to "pink up" and breathe well after about 5 minutes. Holden came out big and strong but unfortunately, when he went to the newborn nursery to get weighed and measured they noticed he was breathing rapidly and took him down to the NICU where he stayed for 24 hours.

I lost a lot of blood and unfortunately, my memory of exact details after their birth is very foggy. I know I cried huge tears of joys with both babies cries and couldn't stop starring at them in the warmers. It was the happiest moment of my life and I just couldn't stop saying how happy I was.

Right now, Jay is on his way back to the hospital with some clothing for me to wear home, the babies are in the nursery, and I'm waiting to have my blood pressure checked to determine if we can go home today! More to share later.
