It was 6 years ago today that I woke at 12:41am and said those 4 magical words to Rob...
"MY WATER JUST BROKE"
...up he jumped out of bed with his eyes wide open (kinda like a deer in headlights) and says "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm not peeing so it has to be my water" Then it was kinda like, oh crap what do I do, lol, grab me a towel honey, then grab the bag in the babies room and lets head to the hospital. I called my parents on the way there and talked to dad and he said well it will be a little while so call us again when it's closer to the time. We got to the hospital, me in my robe and a blanket around me with a towel between my legs, oh such a pretty sight I am sure. Head in to ER and up to labor and delivery. They took me straight to a room, got me all hooked up on the monitors and there I lay awaiting my c-section. They bring in this suit for Rob to get dressed into and off we head to the OR.
Man oh man, I remember the spinal they gave me, that was NOT fun but it sure worked FAST. All of a sudden I was numb and couldn't feel myself breathing, very weird! Scrub down my belly, shave a little hair where they were going to cut me open, throw up into this little straw like thing (you know like the one they have you spit in at the dentist), and by 3:07am out came a noisy little boy Mr. Ryan Mark Pitman weighing in at 6.6 lbs and 19 inches long. Shortly after him at 3:10am out came a very noisy little girl Ms. Emma Sue Pitman weighing in at 6.4lbs and 18.5 inches long. Rob got to help clean up the little guys and he brought them over to me one by one so that I could say hi. Then off he went to the nursery one in each arm and a HUGE smile to boot.
I spent time in recovery, I remember that they told me that I had to be able to move my feet/legs before I could go back to my room, It's the weirdest feeling to think that you are moving a limb but you are no where close to moving it.
After I got back to the room Rob was there waiting for me and then they brought in the babies. The rest is history.
Here are some of my favorite photos of the goobers. (in no particular order)
And some from their 6th Birthday Party today.

You know, now I think about it, I do remember Karen talking about your twinners being born around the same time I had Isaac, but yeah, I didn't realize either that they were born within days of each other, how cool! :)
Looks like you guys had a fun party, the cake and pizza look so yummy...
Love the pictures, that one of the two tiny's laying next to each other all wrapped up in their little hospital blankets burrito style ;) is SO cute. I can just feel the fun and excitement you guys must have felt getting double the sweetness that day.
Happy 6th birthday Ryan and Emma :)
