The date was set. The clothes were folded. Temporary sleeping arrangements had been made. The nursery was 50% done. We have diapers for days. We were ready for Ethan and Madelyn to arrive.
We arrived at the hospital early, neither one of us anxious, just ready to start the procedure. I cannot believe that we are having twins. Two babies at the same time!! That's all I could think about as our scheduled c section time came and went. Finally our nurse gets me prepped and we walk to the operating room.
This is really happening....I'm getting an epidural, they put up a white sheet, and my husband comes in cracking jokes! He immediately asks "Why are you shaking"...now I start to get nervous. I reply "Because I'm cold!" Focus husband focus. As they continue to make the incision I start to get antsy because I'm ready to see my babies. POP! Baby #1: Madelyn makes her grand entrance crying and screaming. Two minutes later after another POP we have baby #2: Ethan. Not a peep but from what I hear he is just taking it all in.
"ME" (Madelyn and Ethan) made it safely into the world and I was so relieved, proud and now nervous because how do you care for two babies at the same time?!?! Let's find out together! Welcome to our new adventure.
