They are here!!!

Anyone that knows me well, knows that this day has been anxiously awaited for a while now...

The twins are here!

My bestfriend in Charleston and her husband were blessed with the arrival of their new baby girl and boy on Thursday. Dad was working in Columbia and of course I live here as well, so once we got the word we hopped out of town as fast as we could... of course dropping 2 kids in the lap of the best neighbor in the world took a little bit of extra time, so I was about 30min behind Dad.... In typical me style, I was running in at the buzzer. Literally - RUNNING - an out of shape preggo lady... I just about hyperventilated... good thing we were in a hospital just in case! :) I'm really glad the highway patrol on I-26 were not out in force!

They waited for the first cut for me to get there, thankfully. My friend blessed me with the chance to be in the OR for the delivery (with the camera of course!). The doctors were so great and put up with me bobbing and weaving around the action. The two doctors in the room delivered each of my boys, so they know me well!

The delivery went wonderfully and the babies are beautiful. Mom & Dad are doing great and trying to enjoy time in the hospital before they go home to Big Brother!

Baby A - girl - weighed in at 5lbs 9oz and 17 1/2 inches. She is doing amazing and mom is enjoying holding her newest baby girl.

Baby B - boy - weighed in at 6lbs 8oz and 18 3/4 inches. He is doing well, but is on a little oxygen and an IV for fluids. They are keeping him stable and hopefully tomorrow will try to bottle feed. Please say some prayers for him and for Mom & Dad. After all that they have been through I pray that they will not be home too long without him!

These aren't ALL of the pictures I took of course, but I tried to eliminate the ones with the most blood. ;) Most of these after the delivery are baby girl since baby boy is still in the nursery being taken care of... just to help you figure it out. It's harder with TWO!
