We Get to Come Home

Hi Everyone, I have been anxiously awaiting the time I could write a post about my experience of the arrival of these two little peanuts. This delivery was absolutely and completely opposite from Jackson's delivery. The fact that my contractions came out of no where and we had to rush to the hospital was crazy. I also know now what women talk about when they say the epidural is AMAZING, I can totally agree with that, but as you read from John's earlier post, I was not dilating past 8 cm and the drug they gave me to speed up the labour was not working at all and actually turning out to be bad for babies, so we decided for a c-section.

After checking her out, they rushed us in to the O.R. as if the twins were going to explode out of Nola at any second. All the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists etc were ready and waiting.... and waiting... and waiting... After 5 hours of the twins just about being born the doctor decided that things had stalled and announced that we would be having a c-section. They kicked me out of the room, put Nola under and about 1o minutes later at about 4:05 am on January 13, Hudson John Bowering arrived in this world at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. And it was only 60 seconds after that that Oliver Finn Bowering made his entrance at 6 pounds 3 ounces (both were 21 inches long). I go
