Hi Ladies,
Well I am having my first mothers day at home with my two gorgeous boys and am loving it. We've been home since lunchtime yesterday and am slowly getting myself into a routine. Thanks for all the congratulatory messages. Here's a brief birth story:

Sat. morning we arrived at the hospital for the ceaser and were put into the labour ward. I met the "team" of people (I think there was about 12 including us) and I was given a drip. Then we went into the OT and the Dr gave me the spinal, I got nauseous and had to have some oxygen. I was layed down and before I knew it they were in there doing their thing. I got sick again, so while the bubs were being born I was throwing up! I heard the first one cry and I burst into tears. Then before I knew it, another burst of crying from bub no.2. Dad bought one over to me and the nurse bought over no. 2. We all went into recovery and stayed there for a while, I don't remember much at that stage as I was in a bit of a druggie stoop. I know that the boys went into the level 2 nursery to have their body temps monitored as they were down to 35 degrees, but apart from that they were great. The first night was a blur with attempts to feed and sleep and pain. But after 7 days in hospital I have the neatest little scar and no pain and am up doing things. My boys are well and we're learning so much everyday from them. My DH has another 6 weeks off work to help out, he's been an angel.
Well, that's about it for now. I can't put into words how much my life has changed and how much love I have for Cooper and Carter. I thought that I loved DH more than anything and didn't know how I could find the room to love anyone else that much. But I haven't had to share my heart 3 ways, it's more like I have 3 hearts now.
Well, take care ladies and look forward to hearing lots of birth stories and also to racking the brains of the wonderful multiple mums on here.
