Our babies have arrived....

5 weeks ago! I wanted to update my blog right after they arrived but life has been so hectic as I'm sure you can imagine.

Thomas Gordon & Emily arrived November 11, 2011 (11/11/11) at 7:30pm. Thomas was 6 pounds, 5 ounces and was 20 inches long. Emily was 5 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long. I was induced early that morning and it took all day for the doctor to finally break my water and get things started. I only pushed 3 times for Thomas and Emily just slipped on out. I feel so fortunate that I didn't have to have a c-section and everything went so perfectly.

Things have been crazy since we've been home. I feel like all we do is feed babies and change diapers (I still have a 2 year old in diapers as well) and I barely find time to shower or brush my teeth. We're happy but super tired!


Here are some pictures of our little babes!

37 1/2 weeks pregnant with twins. I never had to go on bed rest - I was so fortunate!

I'm so glad my mom was able to be present during their birth!
