The girls are here!!!











My water broke on Saturday night and my plans to stay pregnant for a few more weeks quickly changed. I was sent to Labor and Delivery at 9pm and I was complete and ready to push at 11:30 am the next morning.

Addison arrived at 12:33 pm after 5 quick pushes. She came out crying and had a head full of dark brown hair. She weighed 4 pounds 6 ounces, and 18 inches long

Riley came out at 12:41 pm after 2 pushes with her head and feet together like a pancake. She had a lot less hair and her hair is lighter than her sisters. She weighed 3 pounds 12 ounces, and 17 inches long.

Both were taken to the NICU where they will stay for another 2-3 weeks. They are breathing room oxygen with a little help of CPAP to keep their lungs open.

I will post a full birth story in the next few days and I will add pictures.

Thanks for sharing in this journey with us and we are so happy to finally have our girls here.
