Delivery Day!

(From email that I sent out after the birth...)

Hi Everyone!

I finally found some time to send an email to let you all know that our twins have arrived! They were born at 38 weeks on Monday, July 14th following a very easy induction...I was admitted at11:20am, started on the lowest dose of pitocin at 12:20 and had Baby A's water ruptured at 1pm. I went into labor immediately on my own and the pitocin was stopped. At 2pm, I was given an epidural...heavenly as the contractions were coming very quickly! At 5pm I was almost ready to go (9 cm dilated)...Joe ran to the cafeteria for a quick dinner and I started pushing in the operating room at 6:30pm. Keegan Cole arrived after 30minutes followed by his sister just 20 minutes later. All in all, it was a wonderful experience...but a little too short as I really liked that epidural :-)

Stats:
Keegan Cole Maxwell (boy) 6 lb 7 oz at 6:59pm
Molly Jo Maxwell (girl) 5 lb 3 oz at 7:20pm

We returned home on Wednesday night...and I will admit that the last few days have been very difficult.But, I know that the weeks will pass quickly and we will find our groove as new parents. I hope this email finds each of you happy and healthy.

Take care,
Sarah, Joe, Keegan and Molly
