Feeling relieved

Well I finally gave birth to two beautiful babies! I had a c-section last week, which was almost 39 weeks pregnant! Both babies came out healthy and crying. Baby A ended up being 5lbs and 13oz with Baby B weighing in at 7lbs and 6oz. The surgery went off without a hitch. It is amazing to get that far in the pregnancy and deliver the babies with no complications on either side. I have been asked aren't you sad? I think back and give the most truthful answer I can "No I look at the parents and see what I have given them and wouldn't trade it for the world. I also see them taking care of the babies and think nope I don't want to do that again!" I know everybody talks about what I did being such a great thing, and it is, but unless they have done it themselves they just don't understand how much all of this meant to me. I feel honored that they instilled their trust in me and let me share this journey with them. This was an amazing experience! I will enjoy my time not being pregnant but I am also excited to do this again! So I will be taking time off blogging for a while but will continue when I start my next journey!

I went to my last doctor's appointment today and everything is well! My BP is good and he is impressed with my blood sugars also. I have officially gained 13 pounds with this pregnancy or 17 if you count the weight I lost then gained back. These babies could come at any time! The parents are on their way into the states as I write this so they are ready for this to happen also. The doctor did determine that baby B is still transverse and they are kind of intertwined so a C-section is the safest bet for the babies and I. It is scheduled to happen next Tuesday so 8 more days, unless I go into labor before then they will do the surgery when I get there. I have not had natural contractions for 12 years so I am nervous about how it will go I told the doctor in that case I am almost like a first time mom. I informed him about my previous deliveries and how quickly they went once they got going (with Toby I went from 6cm to 10cm in 20 minutes) so he said if you feel steady contractions you should come to the hospital immediately. I am really ready to deliver these babies! The next time I post on here I will likely not be pregnant anymore but don't worry I will continue updates! Thank you to everyone for the support and uplifting words!
