I thought it would be fun to look back at their arrival post. 6 months ago...

We are so excited to introduce you all to our sons!

The boys arrived Friday, July 31st after an unexpected trip to the hospital on Wednesday. I had a dr appt that morning and the dr was a bit concerned about my blood pressure and labs. So off to labor and delivery I went to be monitored after a quick phone call to a panicked Derek. The dr ended up keeping me over night to continue monitoring me and the boys. After waiting all day Thursday for the results, the dr told us at 9:20 pm that our boys would be delivered first thing in the morning!

Friday morning, at 36 weeks and 4 days the boys entered the world. Camden came first at 8:08am, followed by Donovan at 8:09am. Camden got to give me a kiss and was held for a minute by Derek. Donovan got a quick kiss from me and headed right to the nursery. Daddy followed the boys to the nursery for their tests and baths while they finished up my surgery. Camden was able to come right to my room shortly after I returned from recovery. Donovan was working a little harder to breathe so he got to spend a few days in the nursery so they could keep a close eye on him. Finally Monday night Donovan joined his brother in our hospital room.



We were all released from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. After almost a week at the hospital we were all ready to go home. They boys seem to like their home and are adjusting well. They eat on the same schedule- trying to breastfeed first, then offering some formula until Mom can fill their bellies. They are sleeping well and frequently open their eyes to interact with us.
