I have babies :-D. Born on 4/7/06.

Brock Michael was born at 3:17am. He weighed 8lbs 7oz and is 20.5 inches
long.

Benjamin David was born at 3:27am. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and is 21 inches
long.

My jaw dropped when I read their sizes. That's a lot of baby you were
hauling around, Nikki!! Congratulations!! And what an awesome, awesome
birth story!! I'm just so... awed and impressed.

I hope the nursing continues to go well and the soreness goes away soon.

I'm so blessed. Both are healthy. There were no complications and
vaginal delivery for both! We got to come home on Saturday. I was
scheduled to be induced at 8am on Friday morning but at 1:30am I woke up
and thought my water may have broken and was possibly having contractions.
After 30 minutes I decided it was for real, woke everyone up, got the kids
squared away and went in. I was getting checked in and having serious
contractions. I thought I'd better go to the bathroom while I was still
able. Brock was born on the bathroom floor, lol. The nurses were going
crazy. I made it back to the bed and Ben was more civil ;-) Two hours
from waking up to having two babies! Fast and furious but much easier to
recover from. I had a few stitches but not nearly as bad as with the
first two. Nursing is going OK. They nurse great, which is a huge
relief. I'm very sore though and Brock cries all the time. I hope my
milk comes in today. Hunter and Luke love them and are doing great. They
are each holding one right now - awww. I'm very tired, which I'd better
get used to. It is quite a learning curve with two!

That's great that you went into labor on your own! And so fast, too. Wow.

Welcome, Brock and Ben! Love your names.
