AT LAST!! Part 1

There is so much news to tell and pictures to show that I thought I would do it in parts. I need to get right on this so that I can remember as much as possible.
The events leading to the big day!!
First it all started in week 34, like I said I just kept swelling up. We had a doctors appt. on Wed the 17th. We went in for the U/S and baby a's fluid was down to a 6 and still had not grown that much. Baby b was doing fine. Then we did a non stress test and everything was good on there. My blood pressures was really bad and they also check reflexes, and protein in my urine. These are the symptoms for toxemia. (which then leads to pre-eclampsia and a whole bunch of worse things.) So the doctors said we needed to have these babies within the next couple of days. We chose the next day, since we were already in down there. I all sudden got nervous and excited. A part of me wanted them to come soon, for my own selfish reasons, but I wanted them to be healthy too. So June 18, 2009 we scheduled a c section for 7:30 in the morning. This made me scared, because I am not a morning person and get a little sick in the morning times. I didn't mind my first c section. I felt I healed really fast and was good to go. Of course I don't have anything else to compare it to, but still I always said I would do another one! So we started making the calls to our fams to let them know we would soon be adding the 2nd and 3rd members of our family! We got a hotel room and my mom came down with our oldest to spend the night with us. I could not go to sleep. I didn't go to bed until 1 and had to get up at 5. We had to be 2 hours early to get checked in and what not. I was getting nervous and kept watching the clock. I was so glad to have my sweet hubby there holding my hand. Finally I walked into the OR and got up on the table. The spinal block was painful this time. They said it was because I was a little bit swollen. IT also took longer for it to work. The doctors asked if I could feel anything, they were pinching my toes! I said I thought I felt something on my stomach! I am not sure when they started. All I remember is telling hubby that it was coming. I was going to throw up. It is the weirdest feeling trying to throw up being numb and not being able to use my muscles! The docs also said that was very normal. They had to give me two different meds to stop it. Finally one baby was here! Crying and sounding healthy. We got to hold and see her, then 2 mins later out came the 2nd. She did not sound so good. They immediately took her to the nicu. Hubby followed her out to see if everything was ok, and I was wheeled into my room, I think. I really dont remember much!
To be continued in part 2!
