Finally!!!

It has actually taken me a few days to organize and write this post, but finally I'm on the last leg of this process. We are all doing super well. I am recovering from the c-section like you wouldn't believe...all the Lord! I think I was in so much pain the weeks prior to delivering that recovery from surgery has been fairly easy. Also, we are still adjusting to our babies' sleep patterns and we are working on getting them on a schedule, but I slept so little the weeks prior to their arrival, I just really felt prepared for that physically and am able to function at night and during the day better than ever. Chase and I prayed very specifically going into this process, and the Lord answered each of our prayers with more than we could have ever asked or imagined.  Here are some pics to share with you a little bit of what's been going on. I know we've had several friends and family members who wanted to get see a few more pictures of the kiddos, so hopefully this will work....:-) 




Me, about three days prior to delivery

A Pic Chase and I took of ourselves right as we were about to leave for the hospital. 



My first time alone with the babies. The grandparents were in transition from trading shifts at the hospital and Chase ran home to take care of a few things. The babies and I did great! It has been much easier than I would have expected.

First Time Great Grandparents


Evan before we headed home from the hospital. 

Emily was all dressed up and ready to go as well!

The ride home was great! And the kiddos went straight to bed. This is the first time they slept side by side. Too precious!

  12. Hey I found your blog through Jaclyn's blog. I saw you were having twins and saw that they were born feb. 27. I gave birth to my twins last feb 27 and I have an emma (very similar to your Emily). So funny that our twins share a birthday--I also have boy/girl twins. Ours were ivf. So fun that our twins share the same birthday.
    Love knowing other twin mommies!!

    Wish you the best! :)
