Labor story:  Tuesday evening contractions started.  But not unusual,  as I have had contraction two other times in this pregnancy.  Doctors recommend laying down and not doing anything.  So me and the kids laid down and watched a movie Ratatouille; while Ben was at young men's.  Still contracting a little so I got a snack and went to bed about 10 ish.  Ruff night with more contractions; i got up at 2:00am to potty and walk around.  Tried to lay back down; got up at 4:00am to see if eating and liquids would help.  Finally woke Ben up about 4:50am to go to the hospital.  Packed and Piled the kiddos in the car, dropped them off at my sister house and got to the hospital about 5:50 am.  My water didn't break so I figured they give me shots and medicine to stop the contractions.  Checked in at the hospital and I was dilated to a 6 already with contractions every 5 minutes.  Nurses started prepping me for c-section.  Doctors were on there way.  At 6:50 dilated to an 8 with contractions every two minutes.  Still waiting for doctors.  In or room, spinal block for c-section administered.  Doctors finally get there and decided I can try and deliver instead of c-section.  They broke one water but then the other baby move into position.  Apparently Averie wanted to come first. So then they broke the other water sac.  I pushed 6-9 times and Averie was born at 8:30am.  Doctors move Lillie into canal.  I pushed 9-12 times and Lillie joined us at 8:37am. The babies sac were fused together.   There were two doctors and 9-10 nurses in the or with Ben and I, the whole time.  Three nurses waiting for each girl.  We felt so taken care of and a little overwhelmed.  My doctors an nurses were so amazing!  Both girls were assessed and rushed off to the NICU.  I was stitched up ad taken to recovery room.  Both girls are doing better then I could have hoped for. And for the first time after giving birth I actually feel pretty good.  Feeling so very blessed!
