Kaden Jason "Max" and Kyle Andrew "Sam" was born on August 19 2012 at 40 weeks gestion. They came much later than we expected, and our twins were welcomed into this world healthy, and beautiful! We never felt this love before. Love for our twins is not describable.
Our Story
I was in labor for 23 hours. We had decided to give birth at the hospital because we were first time parents and didn't really know what to expect. I had read many natural birth stories on Google, and it looked really painful. I wanted the least amount of pain possible giving birth to my twins, but at the same time, I didn't want to use pain relievers because I was afraid the pain reliever would "sink" into my twins. So, I just went with not using pain relievers at all; whatsoever.
Labor was one of the painfullest things that I have ever experienced in my entire life. I never felt this pain before, and I couldn't describe it. I was the luckiest teen mom to be because my whole family and my baby daddy was there, supporting me throughout this whole journey and beyond. Of course I supported my family and baby daddy as long as we live (and beyond). While I was in labor, I took a walk with Kyson and when were returning back to our room, there was suddenly the sharpest pain in my back. And of course I screamed. Any teen mom or first time parent would. Kyson kindly rubbed my back, and I was so grateful to have him next to me.
Once we were in our room, I was finally fully dilated and was ready to push! Thank God because I had the urge to push then. The nurses and doctors explained to me how to "push" when I was going to give birth, and when to breathe between pushes. So I guess I was ready... sorta. So Kyson had rubbed my shoulder and I smiled at him.
While we were moving into the delivery room, I had already started pushing. It was the MOST painfullest thing that I had ever experienced. It felt like my vagina was splitting in half, and it was just... painful! While we were in the delivery room, my doctor didn't even have time to put on his gloves. I grabbed Kyson's hand tightly and grabbed the pole on my left. I started pushing. And breathing. And screaming on the top of my lungs. My younger sister was video recording and I couldn't help but smile. But I quickly stopped smiling and began screaming. The pushes were really painful too. It was my 6th push and Baby #1 was still not out. My doctor injected his hand (1/4) into me and I screamed. I remember swearing cause it felt like I was electrified. Well, I never been but you know what I mean. With one last hard push with my doctor's hand still in there, Baby #1 (Kaden) had arrived. I was tearing up when I saw his face. I held him in my arms with blood everywhere but I didn't care. At all. I was full of different emotions. Happiness, Excited, Crying for joy.. you name it! Even Kyson was bawling! He was seriously the best man I could have ever asked for. The nurse took Kaden away and I was soon coming from tearing of emotions to pushing again. This time Kyson grabbed my hand. I pushed as hard as I could. With three pushes, Baby #2 (Kyle) had arrived. Kyson began crying again and so did I. Our twins were anything and everything we had ever asked for. We were really blessed, and we wouldn't have our life any other way.
Kaden Jason Shafer was born at 4:09am weighing 6lbs 6oz. Kyle Andrew Shafer was born at 4:30am weighing 6lbs 3oz.
We are truly blessed, and we could never have asked for anything else in the world. Our twins are our world and they are the reason why we get up everyday in the morning.
