Happy birthday to my dear sweet little girls Aubrey Belle and Charlotte Ruth! It is so hard to believe that the day we have been patiently waiting for was finally here! On August 19th, Charlotte was born at 6:30pm weighing 4lbs 16-1/2 in long and Aubrey at 6:31pm weighing 2lb15oz 15-1/4 in long.

The c-section went well and the doctor and nurses were amazed at the twisting and knotting of the girls' cords. The girls were shown to us and then taken out to be assessed. John was able to go with them and see them as they got them stabilized. After being with the girls, he met me in the recovery room. My stay in the recovery room that was supposed to be an hour ended up lasting almost 5 hours due to my blood pressure. While I was in the recovery room, the girls were brought down to see me before heading to the NICU. Aubrey was breathing on her own at first and headed up to the Level 2 NICU. After a short while of labored breathing, she was put on a CPAP and brought to Level 3 NICU with sister. Charlotte and Aubrey are both on CPAPs to help them breathe. They are in the Level 3 NICU right now. They are eating and breathing getting stronger every day.

Of course, we want to see our girls get better everyday, but know that it is a roller coaster. There will be good days and bad days with Charlotte and Aubrey. This entire pregnancy has certainly been a learning experience for John and I. It has helped us grow together as a family and rely on each other even more. Our family of 2 has grown to a family of 4. We could not be happier and more in love with these girls.

There are so many people out there rooting for us. We have family, friends, and even people we don't even know praying and thinking about us. We appreciate all of it and am amazed at all of the support we have had! THANK YOU!
