Charlotte Elizabeth and Mitchell "Beaux" arrived yesterday morning at 7:47 and 7:48 respectively. It was an amazing experience for both me and Micah. The Operating Room was full of Nurses, Doctors and Specialists that all worked seamlessly to help bring our babies into this world. We went into the surgery at 7:30 and we were back in the room by 8:20! The babies went immediately into the Nursery and Micah and the grandparents all got to follow them into the NICU, where they washed them, weighed them and checked them all out. No pictures from right after the birth b/c of the amount of people working on the babies.
Here are some pics of our last night before parenthood and prepping for surgery:

It is hard to believe how small they both are, but they are PERFECT! I am sure all parents think that, but I am sure they are the cutest babies ever!! They have made tons of progress already:
*no more oxygen, breathing all on their own
*starting eating at the breast and bottle, every 3 hours. So we are pretty darn tired, but worth it when they start gaining weight.
*They are in incubators so they don't have to regulate their own body temperatures
*We dressed them for the first time. The Preemie size fits pretty well on Charlotte but still pretty loose on Beaux.
* Lots and lots rest for them so they can conserve their energy and get bigger

I LOVE them already!! Can't wait to see you and hold them. I want to plan a day visit with some of the girls as soon as you are settled. Enjoy it and keep us posted when you can. Love you!!
They ARE the most beautiful babies ever and that is not because I'm a great-aunt. . . They really do look perfect and precious. Erin and Micah, the fun has begun and the next 18 years will fly. My advise - You can never take too many pictures, you can never do too much for your children, no curfew is too early (you won't need that one for awhile), Santa will always be real (just ask Katy) and time spent with Aunt Edith in the summer is the best!!!!!!
Love to all of you!!!
That last pic is absolutely the sweetest thing in the world. I'm so glad they're here!! They are PERFECT. Loves ya!
OMG! I do believe you are right Erin! These ARE the most beautiful babies! ♥
