Katie has been in the hospital off and on over the last few weeks for contractions. She spent two nights in the hospital the first week of June to be observed for her contractions and swelling. The Dr. sent her home on Tuesday night and said that the contractions are just going to continue until the babies arrive. While there he had a tests ran to check a few things out. We received a call on June 7th at 08:45 pm from the hospital and they said the Dr. called and planned on admitting her for delivery the next morning. We were caught off guard because it was so late in the day and we hadn't planned to have babies the following day.

We got up and headed to the hospital on the 8th after Mark and Wesley had breakfast. Wesley was very excited that he was going to FINALLY be a big brother. Once we were admitted and in our room they started the pitocin to start labor. It started contractions immediately. The nurse checked Katie and she was at 3 cm. dilated. The Dr. came in after lunch and broke her water and said it wouldn't be long. Around 4:30 Katie began to feel the epidural wearing off so they gave her a booster shot of epidural and checked her again. Mark had gone down to get some dinner at this time and he got a text from Katie telling him he better quickly get back to the room because we were having babies. The Dr. and nurses rushed us back to the Operating room where they had everyone set up and ready for the babies to be delivered.
Katie hooked up and ready for the day to begin.

After 5 hours in the NICU his temperature was perfect and didn't have any issues breathing. He was able to come back to our room and stay.
Evan was born first at 5:52 pm weighing in at 5 lbs 5 oz and 18 3/4 inches long.
Luke was born second at 5:55 pm weighing in at 5 lbs. 12 oz. and 19 inches long.
