Life with newborn twins has been quite exciting! We had our twin babies, Jake and Emmy on Tuesday, July 22nd. Both were born at 9:49 a.m., within seconds of each other. Jake came out first and Emmy followed very shortly after. Jake weighed in at 6 lbs. 3 oz. and Emmy was a whopping 6 lbs. 11 oz. That was quite a lot of baby! They both had a little difficulty feeding at the hospital and lost some weight. We're working on adding that back on. We left on Friday and enjoyed a somewhat quiet night at home. From that point on, each night has been different!
Chris returned to work on the Tuesday after we went home. This day was quite difficult for me, even though I had help. Hormones from pregnancy and childbirth can be a beast!!!
We've had a few visitors that have enjoyed seeing the babies. Mostly family has been by, but also the girls I work with. Erin brought Eliza by to "play" with the babies in the hospital and after we got home. Then Beth, Melanie, and Melissa came by to visit as well.
We are loving learning all about the babies. They each have such a different personalities. Jake is laid back and very quick to inform us when something is amiss, like when he needs a diaper change or is hungry. Emmy is high maintenance and is such a daddy's girl! She loves when Chris rocks or holds her. It has been a blast so far and we're both enjoying every little minute because we know it will fly by before we know it!
