Then there was 4

So my Littles have finally made their appearance. On Tuesday May 12th at 1:30 I started having contractions every ten mins I was on my way to my mother's house when they started and I was starting to get excited because I knew my precious babies were soon to arrive. My mom took me to the hospital and they hooked up all the monitors to make sure everything was fine. Then the Dr came in to check and see if I was dilating any and surprisingly I was only dilated to 2. Seth was at work and I couldn't get a hold of him but it was Ok ge only had about 30 mins left and I knew he would call as soon as he got out to the car. So when he got off and called me I told him the situation and he came up there we figured since I wasn't progressing any they would send me home and we would return the next week for our scheduled cesarean.  Seeing as how the babies were in awkward positions. Around 7 that night they came in and told I would be staying over night just in case something happens.  I was heartbroken I was ready to go home my contractions had started to be every 6 mins and they gave me a shot of dimarol and I went to sleep. I woke up every hour to nurses coming and checking on my progress so I was a very sleepless night. The next morning my Dr came in checked me and told me I could finally go home but to take it easy and she would see me next Wednesday for our date with the twins. So I got home and waited for Seth to go to work then I headed to my mom's just in case something happened I didn't want to be by myself.  I stayed until about 3:30 until I knew Seth was home then I headed home and crawled in bed I was asleep for about an hour when I got an urge to cough. Next thing I know I'm standing in the laundry room with my water breaking and freaking out. We started rushing around trying to get last min things together then we hurried to the hospital on the way we stared calling all our family to let them know it was time. At 6 I had an I.V. In my hand and was being taken back for surgery. They gave me and epidural and told me to be still and once they had started they would bring Seth in to be by my side. At 7:26 I heard the sound that would forever change my world my precious baby boy Michaelangelo Alexander Ball was born he weighed 6 lb 3.4 oz and was 19 inches long born on May 13th, 2015 

At 7:27 again I heard the sound of my little princess Ellie Grace Ball entering the world at 4 lbs 8.4 oz and 17.5 inches long born on May 13th, 2015 

It was a moment in time that I will never forget my life was completed. Seth and I had always talked about having 3 children but under the circumstances of having these twins I was told it would be advisable. My world would only accompany two little ones in my house I was heartbroken but then I got a sign from God that came from my husband who told me it would be Ok that it wasn't worth risking my life or another precious baby who might not survive. So when we go for our follow up appt. I'm going to ask her about my options.
