The long-awaited day has finally come and we are very excited to introduce to you our newest family members! God is good and we are thankful for his hand on us in the last couple of days. Lucas and Lauren arrived Wednesday, March 30 around 4:40 p.m. They both weighed in at 5 lb. 11 oz. and are 18" long. They are doing very well and have made a fairly smooth transition to home life. Enjoy the pictures, I'll try to label what is going on and who is in which photo. :)
Laying around waiting for things to happen....it seemed like a LONG morning when you have to arrive at 5 a.m. for inductions.
Tony watches as Lucas is attended to right after he is born.
Bonding with skin-to-skin a few minutes after they were both born. I think Lucas is on the left and Lauren is on the right.
Under the warmers waiting to be weighed, measured and cleaned up.
Lauren weighed a 1/2 an ounce more than Lucas.
Hanging out under the same warmer. I'll try to post the video we got of this too. It's pretty cute.
Big brother was pretty interested from the start. "Can I hold it, Dad?" was the first thing he said. :)
Tony enjoys a few minutes with Mason getting to know Lauren.
The first bath. Ahhh, it feels SO good!
Nana with her 2nd set of twin grandbabies. Who would have thought?!?
One of our first photos as a family of 5. This is our new normal. :)
Mason with both Lucas and Lauren. He keeps saying, "2 babies, Mom!"
Ready to go home, all dressed and ready to go!
They really look funny in their car seats.
These balloons and a banner on our garage greeted us when we pulled in the driveway. We have such sweet neighbors!
