Everything is going well so far. The babies are now over 10 hours old. The girl is doing fantastic. Feeding well, sleeping well, etc. The boy hasn’t been doing as well at feeding and as a result has had lower than ideal blood sugars.

Apparently this isn’t abnormal for a twin, delivered at 37 weeks, with some gestational diabetes from the mom thrown in the mix. Also it’s typically the kind of thing that corrects itself in a few days. The girl having been both larger (weight) and a better eater means she’s doing better, yet both are generally perfectly healthy in realm of twins.

And here’s a photo of them sleeping about an hour ago.

And here they are. The girl was born at exactly 11 am, weighing in at 5 lbs 11 oz, the boy was born 2 minutes later weighing in at 5 lbs 5 oz. everyone is healthy and happy so far, and Kelly is exhausted and resting in recovery.

Kelly and I just arrived at the hospital for the planned c-section of our twins. We got checked in and Kelly is now being hooked up to the various monitors so they can check in on the babies before surgery. If all goes smoothly I hope to be posting back in a few hours with a pic of the tiny little ones. Fingers crossed!
