Happy Birth Day!

The stork finally arrived on Tuesday, November 1st, 2011 bringing with him our two wonderful little Twin Boys! When we got to the hospital the doctor did an ultrasound and found that although both babies had their heads down, one had his body across and so I had to have a c-section. I was pretty upset, but I know that the little guy tried really hard (he had been in a completely different position the day before at my weekly appointment) and that it was what was supposed to happen and for the best.

At just before nine 'o clock we had our two little boys. Nickolas Steven weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 in long and Zackary Denis weighed 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20 3/4 in long.

They are both happy and healthy. It is so fun to see their two different personalities. Zack has been pretty alert from day one. His eyes are always open wide and looking around. He is also pretty mellow. When Nick is fussing he will just look at him like "why are you crying?" They are both great eaters. Nick is already back to his birth weight! Nick has been a little more sleepy, but he is starting to be more alert. He really likes his binki for comfort, but often loses it and that means he has to try and find his little hand to suck on. They both really like to cuddle. They sleep pretty well in their crib, but when we were in the hospital we took our best naps with them cuddled up one on each side of me.

Macy isn't too interested in the boys because they don't really do anything. She just carries on with her own business. She does say, "baby" and comes and looks at them sometimes. She does try to touch them every once in a while and yesterday she came and gave Zack a kiss without being asked to. I think they will all be good friends soon!

We are so happy to have the boys with us! We are a little more tired these days, but it is all worth it!

One last picture before heading to the hospital. Exactly 40 weeks!



Right before my c-section. If it looks like I am crying, it is because I am. I was terrified! But it was nice that Andy could be there with me.
