They're here!

I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! It's just been so crazy. Colton James Scott was born at 4:09 pm weighing 5lbs 1oz 18 1/2 inches. Cora Leigh Scott was born at 4:32 pm weighing 5lbs 7 oz 19 1/2 inches. It was quite an experience.  They wheeled me in the c-section room next door. They let our moms put on scrubs and watch through the scrub room window. Colton's heartreate kept dropping and Dr. said the his cord was probably around his neck. Once he was crowning, it got extremely low, so the Dr. put the vacuum on his head and helped pull him out. His cord was around his neck, but he was perfectly fine. Baby girl's water broke while she was still up high. She wasn't' moving down much so the Dr. put an electrode on her scalp. They were having trouble keeping her heartbeat. As he suspected, her heartrate was doing the same thing, but she wasn't moving down. They kicked out our moms from the other room and the Dr. said to prep the c-section team, she needed to come out now. Her heartrate was worse than her brothers. I pushed back to back 6-8 times as hard as I could. I moved her just enough that the Dr. could get his hands up there and get a hold of her. Her guided her down and I continued to push with everything I had. She came out and she was just as perfect as her brother. Her cord was not around her neck, but it was getting compressed somewhere. The nurse went and told our moms that we didn't end up having a c-section. Apparently they were practically crying, they were worried. We have 2 beautiful babies!!! After that, I obviously had an episiotomy, the Dr. stitched me, but I kept bleeding. A lot. I had to have 2 shots ( I can't remember the medicine at the moment) to get my uterus to harden. OMG! The massaging of my belly to get things to go back right was downright painful. I kept lifting my head to see my babies and they would yell at me because they needed to massage my belly properly. Shawn stayed with the babies until things calmed down with me. So, we had 2 babies in a rush. Things were such a whirlwind, I finally bawled while nursing last night.
