Hello everyone…

I wanted to let all of you know that our twins arrived on Saturday July 19th.

Baby “A” was born first (screaming) at 1145 weighing 5lbs and 11oz / 18 inches long. She is now known as Ava Cathryn Carter.

Baby “B” was born next (and much more mellow) at 1146 weighing 4lb and 13oz / 17 3/4 long and is now known as Emilie Maire Carter

Both babies were born healthy and bypassed both the NICU and actually didn’t even need a puff of oxygen at birth. I am recovering from the c section well and feel great. I am on antibiotics for a temperature that spiked yesterday for an unknown reason but otherwise doing well.

We were discharged today and are home getting to know each other and trying to figure each other out. We are totally in love with the girls. Ava looks like a Shar pei puppy and Emilie grunts like a pug puppy… they are hysterical!!

The Girls are a week old and doing so well at home. We are getting into the groove of parenting with the help of my mother and mother in law. Sleep is happening (not always at night) and we are showered most days (however, I forgot to brush my teeth and put on deodorant)….

More to come in the following days.
Stephanie
(no longer pregnant)
