Just wanted to let everyone know that at 12pm today Laila Grace and Liberty Hope were born! They are the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. Laila is 5 pounds 7 ounces. Liberty is 5 pounds 6 ounces. They were born at around 35 weeks and 2 days so as far as a full term baby goes they are considered a little premature but to too terribly bad. But due to the fact that they are a little early their little lungs have not fully developed and they have been put in Special Care here at St. Luke’s. The doctor said that she expected that this might happen and is common in babies that are born this early. They are not worried about them having any major problems. The part that really stinks about the whole thing is that Sarah nor I have gotten to hold them yet and may not be allowed to for a few days.
Liberty is almost done in the whole process of getting to where she should be. Laila on the other hand is still having difficulty but the doctors assure me that everything is fine. We are extremely excited and can’t wait to spend time with em. I have to say, they have only been here, not even 24 hours, and I already have a sick feeling in my stomach when we are apart. I know I am a push over already, but when you are the brand new father of two beautiful twin girls you just automatically accept it.
Please just be praying that they make a smooth and speedy recovery and breath with ease, because other than that the doctors say they couldn’t be more perfect, and I agree.
I will put pictures up later.
