I woke up to go to the bathroom at about two in the morning and as I laid down I felt a little pop in my stomach. I thought, "Hmmm, maybe one of the babies just kicked me." It kind of felt like it did when my water broke with Danny but I just brushed it off. I wasn't very comfortable so I stood up to change position and...it was confirmed, my water had broken! Now usually I would of been nervous but I can't tell you how relieved and excited I was. This pregnancy had been particularly brutal and I was so ready to be done with it! We had a c-section scheduled for a couple weeks out, but knowing they were ready on their own was a big relief!

Now, although it was a big relief, my heart ached. It ached for Danny. My mother in law was in town to help, but leaving him at night just broke my heart because that meant he'd wake up to no mommy at home. It felt like I was abandoning him. As much as I wanted to wake him up to let him know, I knew it would be worse if I did. We had never been apart for so long and that's what killed me! What made it worse is that the hospital did not allow kids in due to the swine flu. So that meant I wouldn't see Danny for three days!! I missed him already.

Once we got to the hospital, everything went very smoothly. We got there about three-ish and my doctor was scheduled to be there to deliver someone else at six so they were going to keep an eye on me until she got there. I didn't have contractions yet, so they figured I would be ok, but, uggghhh, three more hours, I didn't know if I could wait that long! I was just so anxious. Well last minute, my doctor changed her mind and didn't want me to have to wait. Bless her heart! Ella came out first and weighed 5.5 lbs, next was Emma, I remember as they were taking her out the doctor said, "whoa!" She weighed 7.5 pounds! That means I was carrying 13 pounds of baby around! Now wonder I was so miserable. I was so happy though, they were beautiful and healthy. I STILL can't believer there's two of them!
