They're Here!!

It was our turn! On 8/10 at 4am and 4:13am our beautiful boys Andrew and Matthew came into the world! Andrew was 5lbs 9oz and Matthew was 6lbs 13oz, born at 37+4! I was contracting all day on Tuesday and then after midnight they were 10 minutes apart, I called my OB was told me to come in when they were 3 to 5 minutes apart for 2 hours, I questioned it but was told that that was when I should come in 🤦‍♀️ The contractions went from every 10 minutes to excruciating and every 3 or 4 minutes all within half an hour and then I had the urge to push. I'm on all fours in my upstairs bathroom when I yelled for ky husband to call 911 because I knew we weren't making it to the hospital! I delivered Andrew on my own and EMS was there when I delivered Matthew. The scariest situation I've ever been in but we did it, P.S. I wouldn't recommend a home birth unless you plan it 🥴 We even made the local news!! https://www.fox61.com/article/life/naugatuck-first-responders-help-father-deliver-twins-at-home/520-fa99ec4b-744e-4ae7-be93-b83b7f3630b9
