The babies arrived @ 28 weeks and 5 days!

Im sorry it has taken so long for an update but they are here! The last 4 days have been absolutely crazy! What I thought was a false alarm on the 17th of August turned out to be labor!! Started having pressure in my butt at around 7 am that morning... No contractions that I could feel... JUST pressure and a BIT of swelling in my face and hands. Had my mom take me to L&D to be checked out just to be safe. She just dropped me off and I went in alone! LOL When I got there and was first checked, cervix was long and closed. They hooked me up to the monitors and found that I was having contractions every 2-3 mins! Checked my cervix again an hour later... Still closed but softer and shorter. They decided to give me the steriod shots for the babies lungs, a muscle relaxer, and admit me for 48 hours for observation since my cervix was still closed. I called the hubby and had him come to the hospital since he was already in Ann Arbor working.
I got moved to my room and got comfy. By this time I had only been at the hospital for 2 hours. Then the resident Doc came in to check me one more time.... She didn't understand how my contractions were so regular and werent subsiding, but I had no dilation... She went in with her fingers and her face dropped!! She IMMEDIATELY told the nurses to get ready because baby A's foot could be felt inside of me!! WELL, after that it is all a blurr!!! C-section was coming and the babies were on their way! They were here an hour later!! At 7:00 pm Babies A & B entered the world and C came a minute later at 7:01pm on August 17, 2011!
