The girls had a big night, while Rowan came right out of the starting blocks with a big hunger, Evelyn wins the prize for 1/2 hour of solid eating and then going to an angelic slumber. Ro-ro on the other hand was more of a foodie, taste-savor-relax-repeat. She would fall asleep on the teat, and when we tried to lay her down to sleep would wake up for more. Sigh, suddenly I see what my foodie-ness has wrought!
I will let Mrs. Mono relate the entire birthing story, I will just leave it at the basic facts:
- started at 7am, done around 10pm. Total of 15hrs, 3hrs of pushing
- Epidurals are god-sends, especially for twins (even if the first one fails, and you need a second at go time)
- Foreceps are scary looking implements, but great when 15hrs have taken their energy toll
- all signs point to fraternal twins
- did I mention how horrible hospital coffee is?

Whew.! What a long day!! Your girls are beautiful. That's usually pretty hard to say about newborns, but it's true in this case. I stayed home because of a cold, so I won't be going there to infect everyone with disease. I'll wait until I get over this. So, I guess the Schrutes aren't the only ones who produce very thirsty babies. We've signed up for food duty. I can't wait to see the girls (and you two...too).
Wow, your babies are absolutely beautiful. I am in awe of Leigh. 15hours and two babies! Congratulations.
Leigh, you cooked up some cuties! Can't wait to see 'em :)
Words cannot describe how much I love my new nieces. You brought angels into the world! And I couldn't be more honored to have been at your bedside. Thank you for letting me be a part of your miracle. I love you...all four of you!
