Evan & Mommy

Hello, it's Matt again. I have to admit, a part of me wishes we could just repeat yesterday over and over again, although I know Dana wouldn't necessarily agree! Fortunately, I know I'll never forget the moment I heard their first beautiful cry, and we both greatly anticipate all that lies ahead. So, let me fill in some details...

After Dana's water broke at 1:15 am, we hopped into the already packed car and arrived at the hospital in record time with white knuckles. Luckily our doctor was on call that night, and based on how Dana was doing, they scheduled a 5am Cesarean. Although she faced a traumatic surgery, Dana was calm and collected to no one's surprise, and I'm sure I was wearing a goofy grin. Dana was amazing during the surgery and continues to shock me with such strength. Evan and Alex were welcomed shortly thereafter and have spent the last 2 days in the nursery in their warming beds. Despite a big difference in size, we have no real worries as they are both showing strong vitals. Dana and I have been lucky enough to hold and feed each boy and we look forward to when they'll move into our room. Hopefully soon! So to wrap up for today, Alex has officially moved out of his warming bed and successfully latched on. We're sure Evan will be right behind but he's looking stronger every minute. Cool stuff so far: Alex has really cute sneezes and I got a kick out of a big yawn from Evan this afternoon! More to follow!
