The Buns are Done!!
Dave here. Tasha is probably going to get mad at me for posting this because I'm sure she wanted to be the one to tell the whole world. Anyways, the babies are here. This is the story of the days events. At 1:45 she went to her doctor's appointment for a stress test. She had been contracting most of the day, but when the doctor saw it he wanted to check her out and see how far she has dialated. She was at a 6. The doc. decided to admit her because he knew she was going to deliver soon . Around 5'ish she had dialed up to an 8 so that's when Dr. Ott got the call to come and finish the job. About 5:35 she started pushing and at 5:45 out popped Jack. he came out just fine. Right after that he did a quick ultra sound to check the position of the girl, turns out she wasn't in that great of a position. She wasn't as head down as we would've liked her to be, but Dr. Ott didn't seem to mind too much. He reached in grabbed her two feet and proceeded to pull her out feet first. Kind of reminded me of a dairy farm for some reason. Anyways. Jack was 5lbs. even and measured 17 3/4 inches. Aniston was 5lbs 1 oz. 18 1/2 inches.
They are both in the NICU of course and doing pretty well considering they were six weeks early. Jack is a screamer he is breathing very well on his own and seems to have no problems. Aniston on the other hand is on a low pressure oxygen right now. She is also doing very good. They are trying to work her lungs so she will get them opened up fully. Natasha is doing and feeling very good also. She claims she feels better after this pregnancy then she did with Aaralyn.
We're not sure how long the babies will be in the NICU of course. That all depends on the babies and their progression. All in all it was a good day. Tasha is probably going to delete this post as soon as I take the computer to her in the hospital, but I guess that is okay. She tells better stories anyways.
I took a bunch of pictures, but I forgot the camera at the hospital. You all will just have to wait until tomorrow to see them.
