Oh I forgot to tell you that both my OB and my specialists were out of town for the whole week. So I knew that I would be delivered by my OB's partner. They had me scheduled to go into surgery as soon as possible. So as soon as my lovely doctor showed up they got me ready. To my surprise my specialists partner who I saw the day before for my regular appointment drove across town just to help deliver my boys. She told me she was worried about me and wanted to come be there. My OB's partner was awesome and I couldn't have asked to be in better hands.
As they took me into surgery I started panicking. The room freaked me out and then tons and tons of people started coming in. I think there were like twelve people in the OR. I was so glad when Kenny got to come in because I thought I was going to pass out. It seemed like it took forever, but it was really cool to see my boys for the first time. By the way I think a c-section is worse than regular birth.
Charlie Jacob came out first at 5:00pm 3lb 15oz his cord was half the size of his brothers and was wrapped around him 3 time. They think this is why he was so much smaller. They also said he probably would have died if I would have gone another week. This totally freaked me out and have realized how blessed we are to have him. He looks like a Sorensen for sure. He is actually doing really well. They say the smaller baby does better outside the womb because they struggled so bad inside. He is eating like a pig and is on track to come home maybe in the next week. He has already peed on my twice in diaper changes. He is a smiler and is very alert when we hold him.
Haden David was second at 5:02pm weighing 5lb 7oz. He also had his cord wrapped around him but was stealing everything from Charlie. We are not sure who he looks like. He is a little swollen from all the IV fluids. He is dong so much better and is now eating and is off of his oxygen. We are hoping he keeps doing well and maybe come home in a few weeks. He is a sweetheart and smiles when we rub his feet. He is going to be my good sleeper.
Brinlee has been such a trooper and has been so good. This kid has been tossed around and she just goes with the flow. She has been such a great help. She got to help feed Charlie tonight and just sat and played with fingers. She loves her brothers and prays for them every night.
We are so sad that they are not home with us but we are so happy that they are doing better and that they are here. Thanks for all the phone calls and texts. We really do appreciated everything. Pray for my boys.
The picture downloaded all screwy. The first picture is Charlie. Then Brinlee with Haden. Then Haden. The bottom couple are Charlie. Kenny is the only one who has held both boys together. I don't have as many of Haden because we didn't get to hold him until a few days ago.
