Together again

 Kaia came out of NICU about 2 hours after Corryn! You can totally see they like laying next to each other!

The welcoming committee

 Corryn Rose was the first one to our room! We couldn't love on her enough! Karis, James, Aunt Rachel, and Grandma all joined us in welcoming her!

 Karis couldn't hold the babies enough!

 First time BIG brother is in love! Every morning ( and you are almost 6 weeks) the first thing Conner does in the morning is find his sisters and kisses them several times on the cheek. too precious!

couple hours in NICU

 So the babies, since they were twins, had to spend their transition time in the NICU! Fine by me! Corryn really could have come right to the room with us but due to policy they kept her there for about 4 hours! " Baby A" (since we were still working on the name) finally came out to us once all the company left around 10pm!

The NICU was great!  Baby A is below! Look at her! She looks huge! She was breathing rather fast for a bit so they were watching her! She is a trooper! 

 Brothers and Sisters were allowed into the NICU as long as they had their temperature taken first! They were soooo proud!

 Here are some pics of Baby A that Aunt Rachel took when she went to visit little Miss K in the NICU. Corryn was already in the room with us and daddy took Aunt Rach in to see K.

 The one below is of Corryn. See her little face!

Baby B

Stephanie was doing such a great job of pushing! Really amazing....like she had done this 6 times before!! Heeheee. It took awhile to push out baby A's placenta and then Baby B was still high up and the doc couldn't get a good hold of her! Then baby B's heart rate plummeted! I could hear it slow wayyyy down and go lubdub...............................................lubdub...................................lubdub!!!! Next thing you know Dr. Strong is calling for a C section and the room when crazy! It was already jammed packed with tons of people for the two babies and "organized" chaos ensued! We all eventually got kicked out of the room and had to wait in the hall! I could hear Stephanie scream from the pain and within minutes we could hear baby B screaming as well! 

 Baby B was born 16 minutes after her sister! We knew her name would be Corryn but it took us anoter 16 hours to come up with her sis' name! A whopping 5lb 15 oz, Corryn has no hair and look at those lips! Perfect in every way! God is so good!

Baby A

Baby A came out of a few pushes! Stephanie did an amazing job! She was totally in the zone!

 A whopping 7 lb 9 oz! That is amazing!!!

 Look at all the chub! Can you see a dimple in her left cheek? Look at all that hair! She looks a lot like Conner did when he was born! We were over joyed! She came out all flaccid, limp, and white!! She was having some problems breathing but when that finally happened then she was breathing so fast she needed to be observed in the NICU!

Delivery Day

Daddy came into the airport late last night! We headed to the hospital the following morning  so Stephanie could be induced. We were a day shy of 37 weeks. 

 Rob, Stephanie, daddy and I just hung out and goofed off all day in the labor room. Stephanie really wasn't feeling much for quite some time! Pitocin finally got started and we were off!

 Babies did great all day. S's bp was borderline but it stayed ok! We were all just excited to get the show on the road!

 Killing time!

 Dr. Strong did an ultrasound to make sure Baby B was still breach and baby A was still head down. No changes there!

 Since I am now an OB RN I knew more than I probably wanted to know at this time. However the good news is both babies looked awesome all the monitor the entire day! And look at those contractions coming every 2-3 minutes!

 YAY!!! 8 cm!! Almost there! Actually it was about 5-10 minutes later and we were ready to move!

 Vet and Sheila were our nurses and we had fun joking around with them throughout the day!

 Once Stephanie got to 10 cm we were off to the OR! The doc wanted her to deliver there in case an emergency C section had to be done!

hanging out with the cousins

Guess who made it?

Aunt Rachel, Karis, James, and Grandma drove over from Pensacola, FL to be here when the babies arrived! They are going to hang out with K and C as Tim and I are at the hospital! How sweet of them. So they arrived a couple days before "induction" day and we left the Provo house to go stay with them in the hotel! We are feeling the love from everyone!
K is going to make a great big sis again! She is so helpful and so full of love!

Rollerblades

 So Kaitlyn got a pair of rollerblades for her birthday! She had never been on any before this trip and look at her go! She is getting really good! Here she is below trying to teach Kenley!

Lake Conroe

Father's day was lonely without Tim! We left the P house so they could spend time with their dad! So we hunted down somethings to do! We went and explored a local lake, went shopping, watched a movie in the car with frozen custard dessert! We topped it off with a bunch of roller blading! We missed Tim tons but it won't be long until we are a family of 6 and all together!

library time

 We can't get enough library time as we wait for the girls to arrive. We have plenty of friends to play with as we wait! :0)
