our precious little miracles

They're here and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Our precious twin girls were born on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 via c-section. The first to arrive was BabyF at 9:03pm, weighing 7lbs 1oz and measuring 21 inches. She's delicate but feisty and has darker hair and a smaller face than her younger sister. She was followed a minute later at 9:04pm by her baby sister BabyB, weighing 8lbs 5oz and measuring 22 inches. BabyB looks a lot more like her daddy, with her lighter hair and more rectangular face and she seems to have a more relaxed disposition than her older sister. Their personalities already seem so different and we adore them both more than we could have ever imagined.



I don't have much time for a more detailed update than that right now, but I promise to post more as soon as I can. The important thing is that we are all doing well and happy to be home. I can't thank everyone enough for the good wishes.

Oh, Anna and J! Huge congratulations on those baby girls - they are gorgeous! I have no idea how you lugged that much baby around before the delivery, but I am soooo relieved to hear they and you are well.

Warm hugs to all of you!

CONGRATULATIONS to you both and to your instant family :)

I'm so glad it all went well and like Ponygirl I'm way impressed with the fact you carried around two large babies at the same time!!!

This is beyond wonderful!

Hugs

Congratulations Anna and J. I am so happy your beautiful girls arrived safe and sound. Their weights are amazing and you must have been soooo uncomfortable. Mine were only a little under 5 pounds each and I was HUGE.


I lost track of you briefly and was worried when I didn't see a post for a long time. So glad to have found you again.


Now the new phase of your life truly begins.......

A long and winding road, but here you two are with a couple of gorgeous girls.

Amazing.

Congratulations and big hugs.

Now I'm going to pace my way all the way to Montreal to see them and you.

All the warmth in the world to you all.

Congratulations - I have 2 year old twin boys ... your daughters are adorable !

If you think our hands are full, you should see our hearts !God touched our hearts so deep inside our special blessings multiplied.


Twice the smiles, twice the hugs,
Twice the troubles, twice the tugs,
Twice the nappies, coos and sighs,
Twice the fun and late night cries.

Two stuffy noses, two first smiles,
Double the joys and not double the trials.
Twice the wonder a baby brings,
Twice the feelings that make your heart sing.



Q: Do twins run in your family?
A: Yes, they run up the stairs, down the stairs and all around the house!

Q: How do you do it?
A: Very well, thank you.
