The Twins are Here!

Cooper & Boston arrived yesterday, September 10th at 11:14 and 11:24 am after a 3 hour labor. Cooper was a good boy and arrived head first weighing in at 5 lbs 5 ounces and 18 inches long, while Boston decided it would be fun to arrive as a footling breech weighing in at 5 lbs 10 ounces and 18 inches long. Thankfully everything went really smoothly & everyone is healthy.

I will try and update more later, but for now I will leave you with some pictures.


My last belly picture at the hospital. 37 weeks, 4 days...and yes, I know I was huge!

Welcome Boston (baby # 2)


Me & my boys (Cooper on my right, Boston on my left).

The proud papa!


Gavin meeting one of the babies for the first time. Blurry shot, but I love it.

    Congrats on your beautiful twins!! I am Denise & Jessica's cousin, and I have twin girls that are three. I'm not an expert but if you have any ?'s you can sure call me! You will definetly enjoy them but try and get as much sleep as you can while they are sleeping, and get them on the same schedule if possible ;) That is my advice as a mother of twins! They are adorable!

    I'm so glad for this little blogging world that we practically live in now, where we can share the awe-some-ness of twins together. What a beautiful couple of boys. They need to meet our boys when they get a little older. What do you think? Congratulations, have fun, and GOOD LUCK!
