Hey, everyone! I would have posted sooner...but my parents have been here visiting and helping out for the past week. They were a lifesaver, especially those first few days home from the hospital.

I went in on the 10th for a scheduled c-section. The doctor ended up calling about 30 minutes before I was headed into surgery to say he was going to be an hour late. No biggie...that hour went by super fast.

Kinsley was born first at 3:19 pm weighing in at 6lbs 5ozs, 19 inches long.

Eligh was born at 3:22pm (took a while because he was stuck up in my ribs) weighing in at 6lbs 10ozs, 20 3/4 inches long.

No time was spent in the NICU, which is great! I'm not feeling as horrible as I thought I would, just sore. I was supposed to be sent home on Saturday, but I asked if I could go home Friday and my doc and twins' doc said that we could.

We all had our one week appointment and my incision is healing great and I lost 31 lbs, and have 9 to go! YAY!! The babies gained back the 4 ozs they lost when we went home. Kinsley is back at 6 lbs 5 ozs and Eligh is now weighing 6 lbs 11 ozs. K is 20 inches long and E is 21 inches long. So, they are already growing like weeds. LOL!

Here are a bunch of pics...I hope you don't mind all of them

Congrats! They were good sizes.

Is Eligh pronounced like "Eli"? If so, that's my little guy's name, too--just a different spelling.

Congrats you and your family are beautiful and look so happy! Welcome to first year! I was wondering the pronounciation of Eligh too!
Now I see that 5 years of infertility was worth the wait, look at my precious boy/girl twins

Yep, I had to be different with his spelling. wink.gif

I think they are little cuties, too.
