"Birth" day for our twin boys

This day finally was here. January 23, 2014 our scheduled Cesarean delivery @ 11am. We arrived at the hospital at 7am ( I think) lol swear it was super early. We got all checked in, I changed into my beautiful hospital gown 😜 and of course had to take a morning delivery picture haha

The waiting game was on, we were so anxious for them to be here. It was about 5 years since my last cesarean and "baby" , I was starting to get real nervous, shoot it was a while since I've had a tiny baby, let alone 2 tiny babies to raise in this world. The surgery I was scared about too. But glad to have my husband there every step of the way.

I've always wanted to be able to give birth vaginally to my kids, but my pelvic bone is too narrow (TMI sorry haha) 😛 for them, so cesarean it is. I was able to be in the delivery room for my older sister when she had one of her kids and let me tell you, it was the most amazing thing ever!! I'd do it over and over to any of my sisters to be able to experience it. We all literally cried when her son was born. If you have never experienced being in one of your sisters delivery room when they have their baby, I suggest you do. It's an experience I can't put into words. Thanks Carol for letting me be a part of that day! 💓

We had a few hours to lay around, watch T.V. and filling out paperwork.

So around 10:30 am the nurses came in told us to get ready to have our twins. I vaguely remember walking to the operating room, holding all my wires and the back of my gown that way I wasn't flashing the doctors and nurses haha 😨 I remember having to sit on the edge of the bed hunched over hugging Will, ready to receive my spinal block. I can still remember how nervous and anxious I was. I was shaking and crying holding on to Will. Will was being an amazing husband trying to calm me down as they poked the HUGE needle in my back. I could feel the fluid go in and popping as they gave me the medication. Next thing you know I was laying down on the table getting numb by the second. I can hear all the nurses, my doctor and her assisting doctor talking. So the funny thing is  I actually have my doctor as a friend on my FB and she told me that she saw my post from our last appointment saying how I suckered her into delivering me early (oops haha) *hint don't have your doctor on your FB* Glad she has a sense of humor otherwise it would of been very awkward.

I was getting all hooked up to all the machines in the operating room. This is so embarrassing but they had to put some type of "string" under and around my belly to hold it up so they could get an incision. 😱 I can only remember some tugging and pressure during the whole time during the C-section. I actually have a video of them taking each baby out. After Baby A was out I was getting kind of nervous because it took a minute for Baby B to be delivered. But all was good and they both entered this world screaming their little lungs out! lol Seeing each of them over the blue sheet was crazy, I felt like they would be smaller (being twins) but they looked like normal sized babies, I was in shock! lol They seemed like they were same size as when Makisi was born, although its been a while since he was a newborn.

Then they were finally here, both of them. Matthew Ioasa at 5.15 lbs & 18 inches long and Finau Volo at 6.3 lbs & 17 inches long. I was in such awe seeing them, hearing them cry (I was in for some crazy sleepless nights I already knew) but nothing like that mattered, all that mattered was that they were here and healthy. Seemed so fast that I was all stitched up, holding my twin boys in each arm being wheeled back into our labor/delivery room. When the door opened I was so relieved to see my mom, Will's mom, and Tuna were there too just waiting for us. Then the visitors started flooding in, from family members to close friends. We were so happy to see so much love and support from all our visitors during the whole time we were there.

Our most excited visitor was their older brother Makisi 💗

We stayed at the IHC Riverton and was released on January 26, 2014, both boys doing great! We were so ready to go home and be in our own house and beds.

First couple weeks at home, was a little rough. I had to sleep upstairs in the living room because walking up and down those stairs were tough for me and my C-section incision and going up and down that many times a day and at night, would suck! I had so much at home help from my family. Honestly right now, the first year of the twins is all blurred together and I can't remember much on how I did it. lol but we all survived!

At this point my husband and I decided that it would be a good time for me to stop working and stay home with the kids. So thankful for hard working and amazing husband to be able to stay home with our kids. So this is my life from then to now...couldn't of asked for anything better! I love being a mommy!!


This is my little "condensed" version of the twins birth, hope you all enjoyed it!

Big brother Kisi feeding Finau, such a good helper!

 They are my world ❤❤❤
