After a long night of waiting – at 1109am Cora Louise Muller-Zelazny was born. Not too far behind, at 1132am William Frederick Muller-Zelazny was born as well. The babies, and their parents are doing well and enjoying the first few moments together.
Overall – everything went really well. After a nightmarish epidural encounter (6 different tries) – everything went smoothly. We could not have asked for a better doctor (family excluded of course Julie) to deliver the twins. She did great, took charge, and made it possible for Amy to an easy delivery. When the doctors and nurses that interacted with us throughout the day found out that Amy had no complications, did not have a c-section, and had two good size babies – they were all impressed. They called her a “rockstar”. I was just glad everyone was healthy and doing well.
We had a great team of doctors and nurses throughout the day and our room was amazing. We were in the new wing of Lutheran General where we had a magnificent view of the Chicago skyline.
For the first night, we had Will and Cora stay in the nursery and come in for feeding. They both did great and we actually got some decent rest.
Thanks to all friends and family for all the support!
