Twins' Arrival, Part 1

As all of you probably know via email, the twins arrived.  I'd bore you with details but you really just want to see the photos.

Lizzie loved the munchy food Brooke had around the house in those last weeks.  Most of it was healthy, the oreos were not.

Brooke's final size a week before giving birth to twins.

The twins arrived - on the first night when Brooke still wasn't allowed out of bed they wheeled her into the nursery so she could meet the two new additions.

The twins were then moved to the NICU.  It was/is a surreal experience to go visit your kids in hospital during their visiting hours (we can go anytime, the twins are on a 3-hour day so trying to show up when they're awake is the goal).  The staff have been awesome about trying to make us comfortable and it helps that half of them are extended family.

Because of their prematurity and the horrible flu season, Lizzie has only met her siblings through glass.  Only parents and grandparents are allowed in.

These are the sock monkey hats made by my sister-in-law Brittani which fit perfectly. Tavian Anthony is on the left, Abigail Elouise is on the right.
