Ryan and Kyle have arrived!!

Our two little blessings have arrived. On Tuesday, April 24, Ryan Nicolaus and Kyle Jamison were born via cesarean section. Ryan was born at 6:59 a.m., and measured in at 6 lbs., 6 oz., and 19" long. Mr. Kyle arrived only one minute later, at 7:00 a.m., and charted in at 5 lbs., 11 oz., and 20 1/2 " long.

In the fashion of being twins, they were crying loudly upon arrival (a very good sign), as if to say we are a competitive couple of guys. Each of them wanted to be louder than their brother. Since then, for much of the time, the boys have been sleepy-heads. Much of that is normal, but it may have been extended due to the magnesium sulfate being administered throughtout the process. Let me just add their is still quite a juggling act that naturally comes with babies.

Mom is doing terrific, and has been a trooper through the entire process. We did not necessarily expect for labor to be induced on Monday, nor for the C-section. All I can say is she is a lot tougher than her husband will ever be. In fact, I will now forever consider myself a wuss.

A few pictures are attached. There are far too many good ones, and so little time to post them.

Thanks for all of your prayers and well wishes!!
