One month old twins

How did we make it this far already?

Time has flown by too fast. I want time to stand still at least a little longer each day.

I miss being pregnant with them. Feeling every kick and every nudge.. I know this feeling is only because they are my last babies. I accept that. My loves. 💙💜

Birthing them was a whole different story. This labor was the scariest, hardest, and most painful experience I have ever endured. (We only chose c section because we wanted to do tubal at the same time)

Babies were born healthy. I had hemorrhaging that required manual extraction which failed. Leading to emergency D&C to remove more hemorrhaging and installing balloon to help slow the bleeding and promote my uterus to contract. I had to stay in bed with catheter the whole next day. While they slowly deflated the balloon. I needed 4 units of blood and 2 other units of something else I think it was plasma..

My husband got to spend so much time with our babies the first two days because I was either in pain, couldn't move or sleeping from the pain medications or anesthesia/spinal medication. He was my strength, my rock through this birth.

I am so proud of my husband and I for the strength and patience it takes to raise these miracles. I don't know how I ever got so lucky to have this big ol family. 7 kids (-13 and under.)

I know I will not take a single second for granted.

Thank you God for this life and this family.
