They're Here!

After 27 & 1/2 hours of contracting, the doctors finally determined that I might be in labor. So . . . at about 1:30 am this morning, they prepped me for a c-section and at 2:58 a.m., both little girls, Sadie and Zoe, were born!

We didn't get to see them at all b/c they got passed through to the nicu right away and in fact, we haven't seen Zoe at all yet, but, both babies are doing great. Sadie weighs 2 pounds and 4 oz. an Zoe weighs 2.14, Sadie is on room air w/ something called a nasal canula and Zoe is taking in a perfect amount of oxygen.

Zoe, as most everyone knows, has a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and will need to be operated on as soon as she is stable enough. But, with her condition, sometimes this initial stabilization period can be most difficult so we are thrilled to hear that she is doing so wonderfully! We are heading down to the to nicu try and see them again and as soon as we have photos of both baby girls, we will post them.

xoxo,
deb and rich

Congrats Debbie & Rich. I visited the cutie pies after I saw you today. I think Sadie has more hair than Zoe. Abi says "big hug" from her.
