We did it!

On July 21st. I gave birth to my baby girl, Angela and baby boy, Stephen.  

Now we're home dealing with the disbelief.  

My husband and daughter have been amazing at getting our home organized, changing diapers, and taking care of me.  I'm recovering from my c-section and doing very well. All I have to do is breastfeed and get strong again.

Emotionally, I've been feeling very stable, strong and happy.  I was worried that I would feel the depression and fear I had after my first daughter.  I wouldn't be normal if I didn't feel a little emotional and anxious, but overall I feel great.

I haven't weighed myself yet because I still have my edema.  Once that alleviates I'll weigh in.  

HOLY COW, I forgot to mention that my twins were born at 38 weeks and they weigh 8lbs 2oz, and 7lbs 3oz.!  I had almost 16 pounds of baby in me!!
No wonder I was sooo big!!

I did feel like I was going to fall forward all the time!
