A Few Notes

I think my posts will be a bit choppier now:) Both babies are in their portable cribs next to me. A has the hiccups (she is twin B) and V is calm. Some nice coincidences since I am obsessed with numbers... They were born on Feb 8 and I am on the 8th floor (M was born 11-11 and I was in room 11 on the 11th floor). My nurse who is very nice is named Violeta! While I was writing about Dr. C before, she walked in and I felt guilty. She did her best and it worked. Last night she asked me if it was okay that she had taken pictures of the babies. I asked her (more for her than for me) if I could take a picture of her with the babies and she asked F to take one with her phone too. Good experience for both of us in the end I guess. She commented that babies are not delivered feet first in this country but that I did a good job. When the deliveries were over and F was out talking to family I was left in the OR with nurses, all from the Caribbean who went on and on about how amazing it was to do it without drugs, how I showed them.. it was funny. Dr B, the assisting twin expert also said "good job, not many people can do that." Thank you doctors and nurses. Thank you body. Thank you nature. We did it!
