And Then There Were Two.....

My entire pregnancy I imagined having two boys , I worried about having enough love and I prayed for these brothers continually ....... Well January 21st my heart doubled in size. 

Lets back up ....... Max was born a week early so of course I expected Zachary to arrive early. Around 37 weeks I was already dilated to 3cm and was almost completely thinned out so I just "knew" he would come sooner than later ... Then I was 38 weeks , then 39, then almost 40! Every week my Dr would say " why are you still pregnant?" Lol. With a little nudge he came the day before his due date. His birth was an amazing experience. I have been so blessed with two wonderful deliveries but this one was just extra special. I knew a little more of what it expect , I felt a whole heck of a lot more , and thanks to that Z man was out in just a few pushes. Other then a scary hour after my epidural it was an uneventful afternoon.I had an amazing nurse named Barb who took such great care of us.  Things went quickly , my dr arrived right around 5:00 and Zachary was born at 5:14. The room was calm and dim and he just melted into my chest perfectly. My only regret is right at the end my dr asked if I wanted to " pull him out" and I looked at him like he was crazy.  Maybe next time ;).
