The twins arrived on July 11th, at 2:44am, and 2:45am... surprisingly. I honestly thought that they would not come on their own, mainly because none of my other kids came on their own. I started with back pain in the evening, and called the doctors, they told me to come in and sure enough I was actually having contractions!! Not painful at all really, but the fact that I was having them meant I was going to have my c-section that night. Joshua Michael (Joshua..NOT josh) was born first, then Angelina Grace. Joshua was taken to CHKD the next day due to breathing difficulty. He was sedated and intubated, then given Surfactant to open his lungs. The docs said it was common in boys and they called it "wimpy white boy syndrome" , basically saying that white males born around 34-36wks have a tendency to not what to breathe, eat, or anything else. He was at the hospital for two weeks and was sent home with a clean bill of health. Meanwhile Angelina was at the hospital with me ( I was still admitted for my section). She was doing great and was discharged the day after I was. .. So fast forward to today, they are both home and healthy. Joshua is 6lbs 5oz and Angelina is 7lbs 3oz and they are growing fast.
I am so thankful for all the prayers, meals and phone calls I have received. Thank you thank you thank you, for everything. Our caregroup has been amazing . God has provided through dear friends and we we are humbled and very blessed by all the love. Here are some pictures.. enjoy!)
