John and I welcomed our two little angels into the world on November 11. After a little over 16 hours of labor George was born at 8:26 am and was followed by his sister Clara at 9:03 am. George weighed in at 5 lbs 6 oz while Clara weighed 4 lbs 14 oz. When those babies were placed on my chest, it was one of the most amazing and emotional moments of my life. We are so blessed! Four hours after delivery the twins were moved into the NICU due to a quick respiratory rate. Once there they also had difficulty regulating their temperature and feeding. We were finally able to hold them at about 6:00 that evening. I melted the minute I looked into those eyes. The next few days were rather hectic trying to recover from the delivery while spending time in the NICU with the twins. I was discharged from the hospital on Saturday and had to leave the twins there. While having these two babies was the best moment of my life, leaving them was one of the hardest moments of my life. I know that they are in good hands and are receiving the best care. Now John and I spend our time driving back and forth from the hospital for feedings and bonding time. They are improving every day. I know it will only be a matter of time before they come home. I can't wait to be able to take care of them. Please keep the babies in your prayers for a quick and full recovery. We appreciate all of the support from our friends and family. We can't wait to introduce you to the twins!
