They Have Arrived!!

I'm so sorry about the lack in posting. It was an extremely difficult and long pregnancy and I honestly didn't have the energy or gumption to post things. Well, that's all over with now because our babies have arrived!

Charlotte Jo and Harold Benjamin were born on September 14th (Ben's birthday actually.) I carried them until almost 38 weeks which is pretty long for twins. The day before I delivered my uterus measured 57cm from bottom to top (to give you an idea of how big that is, a full term woman with a single baby *might* measure 40cm.) It was a bit depressing that the Dr couldn't help but chuckle every time he measured me. My belly was also 53 1/2 inches around when I delivered, whew. I have some pictures of myself at that time along with pictures of the twins that I will post when Ben comes home with the memory stick from the camera. Haha.

The twins were born at 1:09pm and 1:15pm. Both weighed in at 6lbs 6oz each (yep, they weighed exactly the same.) Charlotte was 19 1/2 in and Harold was 21 1/4 in. They are so tiny! Neither of my other girls were even close to being this small. I suppose it's a good thing they were small, there were two of them after all. Although I had to deliver the babies in the operating room, I did not have to have a c-section. My recovery has been swift and I feel good.
I will make sure to post some pictures of the twins as soon as I have them. Thank you all for your care and concern. We love you and appreciate you all very much.
