Previous post here: Only one week left!
Meet our daughters, Wren Ann and Ada Marie - born Friday, June 27th at 12:47pm and 12:48pm respectively. Wren weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Her sister, Ada, weighed 5 pounds, 4.3 ounces and was 19 inches long.
Both babies were breech, so our c-section was scheduled at 38 weeks - Friday, June 27th at 9:30am. Hilariously, Wren had a different plan and broke my water at 5:30am - only a few hours before we were going to the hospital for our c-section. We went to the hospital early for monitoring, our c-section was pushed several times due to emergencies, and, by the time we got into the OR, I had labored 6.5 hours and we were really close to being the next "emergency" c-section that day. The procedure went great... way better than I thought it would be!
I can't believe it's been a week already. Our daughters have been so amazing! They lost about 10% of their birth weight before we left the hospital, but, as of yesterday, they've both gained 3oz since coming home (yay!). Breast feeding is going WAY better than expected... we've managed to tandem feed most of the time and we've only had to supplement with formula once with each of the girls. They're pretty chill babies - except from 11:00pm to 4:00am when they want to cluster feed... that's not so fun, lol.
