NILMDTS- Hayden and Emily

I had the honor of being present today for the labor and delivery of two wonderful babies. Big brother Hayden seems to be doing well for a 32 weeker. Emily was a fighter as I left almost two hours after birth she was still hanging on. Having anencephaly we knew that Emily would be a NILMDTS baby a couple months ago. Mom contacted me regarding that and I offered to doula for her as well. This was my first twin birth and mom did fabulously. Here's a quick shot of mom in labor just before babies were born.
