The twins are here! I had to have an emergency C-Section because I was going into labor. I was 35.5 weeks along, so they came 4 and a half weeks early. This was really good considering I had been on bedrest to put off early labor since Mid-October.
They were born late at night on December 17. We had gone into the hospital not knowing if they would for sure decide to do the C-section but it all happened very fast when they decided it was too risky not to do the C-section since Asher was so low and he was breech.
The C-section went well, but when Asher came out he was not looking well and needed to be rushed straight to the NICU. Avery was doing better and although she also had to go to the NICU because it's protocol for any baby born that early, she was doing fine, just very small. Asher on the other hand seemed to be getting sicker as time went. We thought he just needed some help breathing and that his lungs may have been a little underdeveloped.
Even with the stress of what was going on with Asher it was still such a special, joyful time. The babies were so sweet and precious, and we were so glad to have them here.
Here is newborn Asher, so sweet and darling, but also it was a bit heartbreaking that I couldn't hold and snuggle him because he had to be hooked up to oxygen to help him breath and the doctors didn't think holding him was a good idea because it may have been too stressful on his system and destabilized him. But I was very grateful he was in good hands and was willing to do whatever it would take to keep him safe and healthy and on the path to getting better.
