Home Sweet Home

Filip and Lukas were born on Friday afternoon/evening. Lukas was born at 4:46pm 6lbs 9 oz, Filip was born at 5:27pm 7lbs 3 oz.

They look completely different. Lukas is skinny and darker complected. He has a shock of long dark hair and a nose like a little bird. He is very active and opinionated! Filip was bigger, and has round cheeks, a lighter complexion, with a peach fuzz of light brown/dark blonde hair.

I am doing ok. There were some complications. I was beginning to develop pre-eclampsia. Thankfully, that had just started to begin when my water broke and delivering the boys took care of it! I also was slightly anemic and thanks to some blood clots lost too much blood. I bordered on needing a blood transfusion, but narrowly avoided it (thank god!). I also narrowly avoided a C-section on the second baby. The chord was wrapped around his neck, so thankfully my epidural didn't work and I was able to push him out fast. Otherwise I would have had to have an emergency surgery to deliver him.

Now, I am tired and the girls are hanging on me. I will try to write again soon!
