My Twins and Me

By Kelly

I had an ultrasound to find out I was having twins! I was so excited! Girls! I waited and waited.

On April 19 (six days late) I finally went into labor. I got to the hospital, and my contractions were three minutes apart. Then I found out I was fully dilated and effaced!

So I began pushing: Baby 1: girl, 7 pounds, 3 ounces, 21 inches; Baby 2: girl, 6 pounds, 6 ounces, 26 inches. I was so happy. Baby 1: Hannah, Baby 2: Ashley. My husband and I were delighted!
