The babies have arrived !!!!!

Madison and Jackson made their debut Monday morning, December 22. Madison arrived at 9:01 am weighing 3 lbs 10 oz 16 inches and Jackson followed at 4 lbs 8 oz and 17 inches. My water broke on Saturday Dec 20 and luckily my dad happened to be at our house. He took Bailey and Nick home while Trent drove us to the hospital. They wanted to let the babies stay put for awhile and "bake" a little more but contractions started coming heavy, so after giving me steroids and waiting 48 hours I had a c section at 32 weeks.

Both babies and I seem to be doing well so far. They will be in the NICU for about a month. This is such a different experience that I'm just taking day by day. It seems surreal that not only are they here, but that I have 4 kids now!!!!!

Both babies were put on oxygen at first, but Jackson was soon taken off his. This is Madison below

 
Kangaroo time with Jackson - I got to hold him for the first time the next day. I didnt get to hold Madison, she was not quite ready to be held and is a little more cranky.
 
 
 
That evening when Bailey and Nick were visiting me at the hospital, the firemen brought some toys for the kids for Christmas. Bailey got dominoes and a dress up doll and Nick got a remote control car. Both kids were so excited that they got a toy and it wasnt even Christmas yet...it just made their night! I guess they deserve something special since their mommy will be in the hospital during Christmas and it just wont be the same that our family wont be together that day!

We are so excited for the babies to here, even though they arrived too early. Oh how we love them dearly and cant wait to take them home with us. What a wonderful christmas present for 2014!
