The past 10 days...

...have been absolutely wonderful.

On Friday, October 1st we were admitted to the hospital to be induced. Things progressed very quickly and we were right on schedule to have the girls by midnight. But, Little Miss Emma had different plans for us. After three hours of pushing and being awake for almost 24 hours we finally made the decision to go to have a c-section. At 5:18 and 5:19AM on 10/2/10 Emma and Avery graced us with their presence.
Seeing my daughters for the first time was absolutely the most amazing experience. It is just so surreal that I am a mom. The doctors and nurses were great and I was able to hold and feed them 20 minutes later.
Mike and Grammie were troopers coaching me along the whole way. Grammie didn't want to leave the hospital and Mike was out a couple hours later.

The first night was a bit tough since I couldn't help out much, but Mike stepped into his Daddy shoes very quickly.


Grandpa and Grand Nan Roth and Grandpa and Grandma Kocher came to visit along with Auntie Courtney, Michelle and Jamie.



We spent two nights in the hospital and by then we were ready to bring Emma and Avery home and meet their brother and sister.
We've had lots of visitors since we have been home. Thank you all for the delicious meals!

We were so excited that Auntie Stacey, Uncle Harold and cousin Cole were able to come for a short visit over the weekend. Cole LOVES his cousins and kept saying "Me hold, me hold". He also loved to beep their noses:)
We were lucky enough to have Grammie stay with us all last week. She was such a help around the house and loving her two grandaugthers. We were very sad to see her leave, but I'm sure she will be back soon, who could stay away from these precious faces?
Our days are pretty much filled with feedings, diapers changes and cuddling with our little girls. Life couldn't be more perfect.
