Austin Edward Bozarth born at 5:47 pm on July 10, 2015 weighing 6 lbs and measuring 19" long.  

Ace Gifford Bozarth born at 6:02 pm on July 10, 2015 weighing 4 lbs 9 oz and measuring 17" long.

We had quite the day.  The anticipation for delivery was intense.  We slept, talked, and took selfies to pass time.  We were surviving in the waiting room on skittles and soda, not the best mix to calm our nerves.  It was nice that our families and the family of our carrier were there with us waiting too.

Finally a little after 5 pm on July 10th it was time.  We headed to the OR to meet our little bundles of joy.  

It was an experience that neither Kent nor I will ever forget and one we will cherish for the rest of our lives.  The OR was filled with an amazing team of doctors and nurses ready to get these babies delivered, cleaned up and into our arms.  

First up, Austin.  He came out screaming!  It was like hearing the best song ever, truly music to our ears.  The nurses took him to the warmer and wiped him off then Kent cut the umbilical cord.  It was a surreal moment when they handed him over to us at just minutes old.

After a little struggle, Ace was delivered.  He was stubborn and decided to come out feet first.  There was no scream right away but it only took the amazing nurses a minute to get his airway clear and he was wailing.  Kent was able to cut the umbilical cord, which had come out tied in a knot.  Neither Kent or I had any idea he would be so small, it was like holding a doll, not a baby.

After delivery we headed back to our room and waited for the grandparents to come and meet Austin and Ace.  The boys also had some special friends visit them.  They are already so loved.

Our stay at Sky Ridge Medical Center was a wonderful experience and I cannot thank our amazing Gestational Carrier and her family enough for giving us the most selfless gift we could ever hope to receive.  We have so much respect and fondness for you all.
