Sweet, sweet babies...

Hey everyone! We're excited to announce the arrival of Paige and Garrett yesterday. Paige was born 6 lbs 6 oz and 18.75 inches long at 11:59 a.m. Garrett was born 6 lbs 13 oz and 19.25 inches long at 12:00 p.m. They look a LOT alike and all of us keep commenting that it's a good thing they're different genders because they're hard to tell apart sometimes. Garrett is the first picture and Paige is the second photo!

The C-section went relatively smoothly after a couple of tries at the spinal. The babies were both born screaming and healthy as can be. Little Paige had a little trouble thermoregulating at first, but she's fine now. She's the good eater, particularly because Garrett is having a hard time staying awake to feed. Big sister Molly came by for a visit yesterday evening and was fairly enthralled with the babies. Molly has been a real trouper and has been surprisingly easy going about not being with Mommy and Daddy. She's at preschool this morning, and will be napping at Auntie Paige's house before coming back to the hospital today. Mommy is missing her terribly though!

Recovery is going alright with the aid of some good drugs. We'll definitely be here until tomorrow, and possibly until Thursday. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!
