My water broke

What a crazy day. I was sitting on the big chair talking to Mike. He was at the grocery store and called to see if we needed anything. As I was giving him a list my water broke. I said, "I think my water just broke!" I stood up and realized I was right. I then said, "My water DID break you've got to come home NOW!" I called the Dr. and then started to call my sisters, Mom, Dad and Aunt. I needed someone to come help with Bella and Carter. Noone was home or answering their phones. Finally my mom answered and said she would come right over. I instantly hopped in the shower. When I got out my mom was already at my house, Mike walked in a few minutes later and then my Aunt Patti came just as we were about to leave. My Mom and Aunt stayed with Bella and Carter. They got them dressed into their Big Brother and Big Sister outfits and brought themup to the hospital.

This is me after they got me all hooked up to the monitors. The nurse was asking me a ton of questions and preparing me for the c-section. They wanted to hold me off an hour or two but the babies had a different timeline. My contractions were aweful and coming faster and faster. I was 9 cm. dialated and in a lot of pain. The decision to move things up came quick.

weren't letting anyone in to see me except Mike at first because they were trying to beat the clock. Mike went out to see Bella and Carter who were a little nervous, scared and excited. He also went to give my Mom and Aunt an update. Here is a picture of Bella and Carter waiting to come in and see me.

This is when they took me into the OR to get me ready. Mike stayed behind until I was on the table ready to go. This was him right before he came in.


Here we go........about to be a family of 6!
