I wanted to write down my labor story before I forgot most of it. So it was a Thursday and I was feeling pretty good, 35 weeks and 6 days. When your pregnant with twins you have a stress test twice a week from week 28 until they're born. I went in on Monday of that week the doctor had checked me that day and I was at a 4. She told me to watch for signs. I had told my mother that I didn't know what labor was, she said I would figure it out when I was in labor. So I didn't worry about it. I really wanted to have them on Wednesday of that week because it was January 19 which was my late aunts birthday, so that day I was really looking for signs. Little did I know I was in labor. I went in on Thursday January 20th to have a stress test. Let me just tell I loved I mean loved being pregnant but that day I was ready to have these babies, so I was trying to talk my doctor into an earlier date then January 31. She said she didn't think their lungs were ready and I would have to wait, but she would check anyway. I was at a 7 and 100% effaced (she also could feel little Bentley's feet). Yes I was at a 7 and I had no idea I was in labor. I was told I got my wish and she would meet my at the hospital at 6. We had to wait until 6 because Evan the father of my children was working in Logan and I wasn't about to have my children without their father. So I called Evan and of course he didn't believe me, but soon headed home. The pictures are of me before I went to the hospital and after my doctors appointment as you can tell I'm really tried.
After I left the doctors I went to my sisters and called the rest of my family. I was really just hanging out and laughing, my doctor called and said she wanted me to head to the hospital so I didn't have them in the back-seat of a car. My mother and I went and got my bags and then headed to the hospital. When I got there, there was a couple talking in front of labor and deliver, I asked them what to do and then told them I was in labor. The man was laughing and thought for sure theres no way I was in labor. Then I just walked in and asked the nurses what to do. They got my room ready. And told me if I felt like I was going to poop my pants to let them know. Then I waited for Evan to make it to the hospital and for my doctor. I didn't ever need anything for the pain expect for when I had my c-section. The next pictures are of use waited for my c-section
When I found out we were having twins I wanted a C-section. I wanted one because I know if I had one I wouldn't have to worry about anything going wrong with the babies. I didn't want to have one naturally and one C-section, I've heard scary stories and I did't want that happening to me. So when Bentley was bum down its was pretty good news at least for me!! I knew I was going to have a C-section for most of my pregnancy, so I thought I was fine. But when I was in the operating room and getting a spinal tap I started to wig out. Not because I was going to be a mom for the first time, not because the doctors were cutting me open. But because I couldn't feel my legs. The only thoughts that went throughout my head was, "I can't feel my legs, I'm I ever going to feel my legs again". It took about 30 minutes from when they started until the babies where out. Bentley Tait Cornell was born first at 6:27 p.m. at 18 1/2 in. long and 6 lb 8 oz. Then came Chloe Jean Cornell she was born at 6:28 p.m. she was also 18 1/2 in. long and she weighed 7 lb 4 oz. Yep I was carrying around almost 14 pounds of baby and I was month early. I'm sure if they waited until I was 38 weeks my babies would have been 8 or 9 pound each. I'm glad they came when they did.
