The Twins are here!!!






Here's a few pics and a quick recap...

(pic 1 - marin holding brooke, 2 - brooke on left rhead on right, 3 - ditto, 4 - rhead seconds after birth, 5 - brooke seconds after birth)

7:30am - checked into hospital
8:00am - marin was found to be at a 4!!!
8-1pm - light contractions, very little pain...at a 6.
2-5pm - more frequent contractions, a little more intense, but nothing really painful
5:15pm - marin still stuck at 6...doctor "pin pricks" Brooke's water. she was closer and this was thought it would help speed things up. contractions pick up in intensity/pain.
5:45pm - epidural in to help ease pain.
6ish - doctor comes to check marin again. she's a TEN! in about 20 minutes! wheeled into Operating Room (just in case a c-section was needed)
6:22pm - Brooke born
6:35 - Rhead Born
6:56 - wheeled back into original labor and delivery room...less than 1 hour after being wheeled out of it!!!

the doctor said the whole process was the smoothest and quickest twin labor she's ever been a part of. it really was incredible. everything went perfectly. i'll let marin elaborate on that more later.
