Your DW had a diffuclt birth, what happened?
John and I were thrilled to find we were expecting a baby. And w were even more surprised when we went for an appointment and learned we'd be having not one, but two babies! Twins do run in my family, but I never thought I'd actually have a set, let alone on our first pregnancy. But of course, we were happy and excited, but certainly, a bit nervous. John and I decided that we did not want to know whether we were having two boys, two girls, or a boy and a girl, and so, we were happily surprised when we welcomed our son and daughter into the world.
Their arrival didn't come easy, though, and for a while, turned quite frightening. We were in the hospital and all was going well, up until shortly after our son was born. It had been a long and rather difficult labor, but when I looked at our son for the first time, he was absolutely perfect...five pounds, fourteen ounces; nineteen inches long, and looked so much like his Daddy. He had light brown hair and dark blue eyes, and I couldn't wait for his sister to join him.
Her heartrate, however, started to drop and there was concern for a while over whether we'd have to resort to a C-section for her arrival. I didn't want to, but at the same time, knew I'd do anything to keep her safe and bring her into the world healthy (and quickly, if need be). She stabilized, but only for a while, and we went through the entire fear again. Fortunately, though, her heartrate fell back into rhythm, and she joined her brother at five pounds, four ounces; eighteen inches long. Though, considerably smaller, she was just as perfect with light brown hair and gorgeous, sparkling blue eyes.
We had a few names pick out for both babies, but the moment I saw our son, I knew he was his father's son and wanted nothing more thant to give him Daddy's name. And so, John it was. Dad wasn't convinced on having a junior, so his middle name, Joseph, is in honor of John's father and my uncle. Our daughter's name was slightly more difficult in choosing, but we agreed, that of our top choices, she looked most like a Natalie. Her middle name, Maria, is in honor of my grandmother.
Now we're happy to have both babies at home with us, and though it certainly has been a challenge at times, I couldn't imagine life any other way right now. They're both healthy, gorgeous, and sweet babies, who literally bring so much joy to our home.
