Miracle Birth Story!
I was having early and false labor for weeks and weeks and I had to go in to have it stopped once also! These boys were ready to come out too soon! I was put on complete bed rest so that I could keep them inside as long as possible! In the meantime I just got bigger and bigger! I kept wondering “how in the world can my skin stretch anymore?”
The day before Thanksgiving I had my last appointment with the dr. and he said that they could come anytime now (37 weeks) and I was allowed to do whatever I wanted etc… I remember cracking up because by this time was so big and could barely move at all! Plus I had developed that crazy rash (P.U.P.S.?) and it was unbearable. I remember begging my dr. to give me anything for it! I was trying everything and nothing helped. I would have to say that was the hardest part of the entire pregnancy delivery thing!
My doctor scheduled an induction for Dec. 4th if I hadn’t delivered by then so we made it all the way to that date!
What a great day!
We woke up early and went to the hospital for the induction and they were having a hard time getting the positions of the babies. It was crazy cause I could hear my doctor and all of the nurses counting heads….one..two..three? and they kept saying that and I was like “Are you kidding me? There cannot be three!!!” haahaa..finally after 2 Xrays and 3 u/s they discovered that Tanner was not in a good position so my chances were very good of delivering Tyler just fine and then having to have a Csection for Tanner! Yikes ! That is the worst of both worlds.

We talked with my dr. for a long time about it and finally we asked what
the safest option was for the babies?
He said the C-section was for sure the safest for them, but not for me.
Then he sat down on the bed and prayed with both of us that we would feel a peace about what we wanted to do and that God would guide his hands in the process. I was just amazed and felt so peaceful and sure we were to do the C-section.

After the catheter insertion one of the babies must have moved over onto it or something because I started to have horrendous pains that were NOT contractions as they prepped me for surgery! I was crying so hard because it was just awful pain! I remember barely being able to lay on the table! They had to give me something for the pain, which was great! Although I wish I never had anything so I would have been a bit more aware of the day. But I do remember hearing that first cry (after they suctioned Tyler out with the vacuum!) and just thanking God over and over and then hearing that second cry and just feeling like I was the luckiest girl alive! They were both healthy and crying and doing just fine. Tim brought them over to me for me to see and to kiss their little heads and I was just in awe of them! I will never forget that feeling! Pure joy!!!

The rest of the day was a bit of a blur! I had been given too much pain medication in my IV and the wrong kind too or something and I was so nauseous forever and very out of it and sleepy! But, I can still remember the first time I held each of them and then both together. My little miracles!!!
We were more blessed than we could ever imagine with
Tyler 7lbs 6oz and Tanner 6lbs!
I have been in love with them every since that day!
