I'm pleased to announce the arrival of our new twins! Robert & Lydia were born via c-section 1 day shy of 36 weeks they're doing well!

Robert weighed in at 5lb and Lydia at 5lb 7oz.

Here are two pictures taken shortly after they arrived:
(not particularly artistic but I was in daddy snap-shot mode :D)

    Congratulations! They're beautiful. We have twin girls who are 6 y/o now. You're in for lots of fun! Best piece of advice I can give for you is buy a good book on baby sleeping habits and follow it rigorously. If you don't get them on a synchronized sleep schedule from day one, your life is over! :giggle

    Cheers,

    Home from NICU!
    I'm pleased to report that Robert & Lydia came home from the hospital yesterday after ~6 days in the NICU! They're both doing well and we are SO glad to be home - my wife has been in the hospital for almost 4 of the last 5 weeks and was getting a bit stir-crazy. ;)

    Now the sleepless nights begin... but it's worth it. clap.gif

    I'm a dad of twin boys and it is a kick in the pants, sometimes literally.

    The best piece of advice I can give you is to make sure you get them on the same schedule, both sleeping and eating. Once they get on different schedules it feels like your always feeding one or the other and always trying to get on to sleep just as the other one is waking up.

    Hey buddy!

    A boy AND a girl? How lucky are you?!

    I'm glad they're home and safe. For you in the other hand, good luck with all the fiasco that goes with newborns. Here's to those late nights and constant poopsicle changes! thumb.gif

    Congrats!!
