The girls arrived via c-section May 30th at 8:13 & 8:14 AM. Both were 20" long. Judith arrived first weighing in at 6.6 lbs, and Eliza weighed a whopping 7.1 lbs! They were healthy sized girls!
It's funny because in my mind, I am ashamed to admit, I always thought c-sections were the "easy" way out for labor. But I am here to tell you that is not the case! There doesn't seem to be an "easy" way to give birth. I think that's part of the Genesis curse, right? You get pain meds for a c-section, but you still feel things.... No lie, it felt like a grown man was jumping up & down on my upper abdomen when they were trying to get Eliza out. Maybe it only felt that way because there were two to get out? Not sure.... But I definitely do not think giving birth is easy in any way, fashion, or form.
I do, however, think it is definitely worth it! I am in love times two! Babies are miracles from God! And He designed these two specifically for us to love & care for. What a privilege! This process has also brought Adam and I so much closer. He has been super dad... Changing diapers left and right and being so supportive. Figuring out nursing was an emotional roller coaster & he was with me every step of the way. He is a wonderful father, and I don't think I could do this without him!
And a special thanks to our moms! Susie & Steph have been rotating staying with us to help. And what a help they have been! So glad that God moved us back here where we are surrounded by the support of friends & family!
And now for the fun part... Some pics:
Ready to leave the hospital!!
This is a pic of super dad while we were at the pediatrician's office for their first check up. The double hold is no easy feat!
Crib time!!
We had a photographer come take some pics on their one week birthday. These are the only two we've seen so far, but they are precious! Can't wait to see the others!!
