The twins have arrived

It's a miracle. It's just a miracle. Here's the story:

On Wednesday, Lisa was scheduled for an amniocentesis, which went very well. After which an ultrasound followed to check the size of the twins for the c-section scheduled for the following day. As with past measurements, the boy was almost two pounds bigger than his sister.

On Thursday, Lisa and I arrived at Cottonwood Hospital in the morning (around 7:00am) and she was prepped for surgery. Around 9:30am, Lisa was given a spinal block and the c-section proceeded. It was amazing! It's as if they lift up a pillow cover and pull the pillow out. Tanner Paul Moore was born at 10:04am at 6 pounds 4 ounces, with Natalie Eileen Moore at 10:05am at 4 pounds 7 ounces.

Saturday. We were given the possibility Natalie might not make it home with Lisa on Monday morning, as she was struggling to hold her temperature as she's so small. On Sunday, we found out Tanner wasn't holding his temperature either. Finally, this morning (Monday) came, and Tanner was eating like a pig (he squeals like one too :)), and is happily sleeping upstairs. Natalie's barely into the jaundice levels, and will be under the blue lights today. We're hoping she'll be coming home Wednesday or Thursday, but are more concerned with her health than her home arrival date.

We're ecstatic the twins are doing so well, as at least one of the sets of twins the hospital has seen in the past few weeks have stayed 7-10 days. Happy, healthy, eating, and sleeping, we're grateful for two little miracles following the example of their older sister, Sydney.
