Two babies OUT of my belly!

On May 21st at 9:51 pm my two sons were born via c-section in Orem, Ut. After pushing for three and a half hours, I finally decided that enough was enough and that we were getting these guys out. Isaac weighed in at 4lb 10 oz and Aaron was 5lb 6oz. Even though the are a little bit different in their weights, it is still believed that they are identical because they shared a placenta and sac. The boys have been in the NICU now for fifteen days but soon should come home. The discharge dates are currently Sunday for Aaron and Monday for Isaac. Although they did not have any infections or serious health concerns, because they were five weeks early they did struggle at first with feeding but have learned to be champs at it! Both are growing quickly. Isaac now weighs 5lb 2oz and Aaron weighs 5lb 8oz. We are thrilled to be bringing them home and so excited to start our new life as a family of four! Tyson is an AMAZING Daddy! He takes the night shift at the hospital so Mama can get some sleep. I am so grateful for him.

So glad that you posted! I've been wondering how everything was going, but didn't want to bug you when I know you are busy at the hospital. Post some pictures! Can't wait to see these little guys.
