Life at home has been crazy. I have been gettin' the hang of it really slowly. The Babies got their first sponge bath, which of course they hated. But they smell so much better! So we decided to take so pictures to show how good they Smelt!!! J\k They pretty good too.
Can I just say that hospital stay is awesome, I wish that I was still there. But the babies are here they where born Dec. 19, 2007
Tristin Rodger 5lbs 15oz 19 1/2 inch
Time: 12:00 pm (noon)
Gavin Martin 6lbs 10 oz 19 inch
Time: 12:37 pm
I had trouble getting into the hospital to actually get induced but once there it went great. I was finally admitted at 12 midnight on Wed. and they started the induction then. By 5 am they where ready to come. I never felt any contractions, the nurses thought that this was pretty amazing. I was dilated at 7 when I finally got an epidural. Then went into the O.R. to deliver and was only in there for about 2 hours. We found out that the babies are fraternal not Identical! Which really surprised us but they look like brothers!!! Aron the father really surprised me when he cut the umbilical cord of Gavin, even better he cut it with out looking!!! What a man! After the hospital Gavin has been crying alot, but is a great eater. Tristin is so curious and wants to check out everything. He is my little guy I feel like he is so breakable being so small, but I have a feeling that they will both change so much in the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted.

The Hospital is so mean!!! I was supposed to go in last night to be induced but they called me at 8 pm and told me they had no room in the Hospital and no nurse to help me. So I was told to call back in the morning, today at about 10:30am and was told that Dr. Morrison wanted me in tonight at 5pm. Again I was told to call before to see if there was room. At 4pm when I called I found out that the Dr. had gone home sick and that another Dr. was going to get me started till Dr. Morrison came in the Morning. But because the other Dr. was already scheduled to do another induction at 9pm I have to wait till 8pm so that me and the other girl are close to each other so the Dr. isn't there all night. So now for sure I am going to finally be admitted tonight! Hopefully I can wait till my Dr. can make it, it would be really great to have him and not some guy I've never meet but with all the mind games I am ready and want the babies out. I didn't think so at first but when they called to tell me it wouldn't be as planned I was shattered. I promise the next time you hear from me I will be a mommy!
Yesterday we had a Dr.'s Appointment, the doctor let us decide on a Birthday for the twins! We picked Dec. 18th. So next Monday I will go to the hospital at 10 pm and start the inducing and the doctor thinks that they will be born the following day on the 18th. I'm not sure if I like picking a day to go into labor and be in pain but it is exciting to know that they will be here! So I guess 6 days and counting, unless they want to come on there own before that.
I went camping with the family the other day. It is really hard to sleep on hard ground while pregnant. But it was fun I haven't been camping in about 10 years with my family so it was really fun. We did a lot of hiking which I'm sure was good for me but I was so exhausted. I came in last every time. There is one picture of me and mom wading across the river it was freezing and the rocks hurt our feet but it was a fun little adventure.
I have decided that I need to keep a blog to keep people updated on my new unexpected pregnancy. I haven't told many people yet. My Sister Bailey and my Friend Brenna. They are both supportive and want the best for the new baby. I love having great people in my life. I have also told the Father, Aron, and he has been as supportive as someone 600 miles away can be. He calls everyday to check up on me. Unfortunately I have not been able to go to the Doctor but I am hoping to get that taken care of.
I have been looking up all kinds of things up on the internet and found that I am about 10 weeks. I can honestly say that I hate this part of pregnancy it is making me very sick and today alone I have been sick 3 times. It is frustrating especially being at school trying to get work done. I am a fighter and I will make it, there are only 5 more weeks of school left and I am very excited.
This a unexpected turn in my life but I am happy to be doing it. It is scary and I hope that I can be a good mom. And more than anything I hope my family is supportive whether they want to or not.
