Our miracles have arrived...

Well everyone, here is the big announcement...our sons were born Friday, March 6. Zac was born first at 10:51pm, and Evan was born at 10:52pm. Zac is 2lb 5ou and 15 3/4 inches long and Evan 2lb 9ou and 15 inches long. How it all happened was very scary... I had gone home on a day pass Friday. I slept for hours, and then finally decided to get up and have a shower before heading back to the hospital. Well, I went to the bathroom and found I was bleeding rather badly. We got in the car in record time and I had called ahead first to my nurses to let them know what was happening and to be ready for me. When we got to the hospital I was immediately hooked up to the fetal monitor. Heart rates were good. I was checked and found to be 1-2 cm dialated and contracting pretty regularly. The res OB did an ultra sound and things seemed ok. But then when we got down to the assessment ward things changed quickly and rapidly. Zac's heart rate went really high and then just as quickly dropped way too low. The OB on call instantly had the OR open and prepare for me...we were going in. There was no time to really prep me. It turned in to an emergency c-section and our little Zac was in trouble. I've never been so terrified in my life. I was put right out as there was no time to do the epidural. So I went to sleep scared beyond belief and then waking up just bawling and bawling. I was in quite a bit of pain too! I had been given Oxytocin to contract my uterus so each time I'd get a contraction I felt like I was being torn apart. So the wonderful Morphine began. It took a while to feel managaged. I did not get to see our sons last night. Brett did though. So we have lots of pictures. This morning my parents had come to help clear out my room and prepare to move me. I slept for a few hours throughout the night but was still exhausted. This morning my nurse came in to the room and told Brett and I that the NICU dept said we should get down there. I lost it immediately. I knew this was not good news. And was beyond terrified. I figured we were going to be told that we needed to say goodbye. But as we got down there, yes, Zac was struggling, but eventually pulled up a bit. Evan has been doing great. Our boys have stolen the show with the NICU nurses!! Brett and I were just down in NICU and Evan is doing really well. We went over to visit with Zac and were told that he is struggling with his blood pressure. He was trying to open his eyes as we talked with him!! Amazing!! But for the most part he just pretty much lays there. He has been through SOOOOO much!! He is truly a fighter. I ask everyone to PLEASE pray for our little guys!!!!! Zac especially!! He is fighting so hard, and I will not let him go without the biggest fight of my life ever!! We are exhausted...me especially. It feels so wierd to be laying here in bed and knowing that my boys are no longer within me, but upstairs. The NICU staff is amazing! I've really appreciated that!! I am beyond tired through. But fight sleep. Although tonight I don't think it will happen!! Anyhow, it may be quiet here for a little while as I try to regain some strength and spend time with our little ones. God, you have provided such amazing and precious miracles for up up to this point. And I pray with everything in me to spare both our sons any complications. I pray for little Zac and his precious little lungs, I pray that his blood pressure will not be an issue tomorrow. I pray for continued miracles to happen though this little boys life...our son. I pray that he will just really fight hard to pull through and that through all of this the NICU nurses and doctors will just be blown away. I thank you for the people whom you have in charge of them! Help Brett and I to rest...me especially. I pray that my incision will become tolerable without pain. That I won't have to rely on the morphine. Well everyone, I am absolutely beat...so I am going to sign off. We will try to post a couple of pictures of the boys. They are toooooo cute!!!
