Details, Details...

Sorry about the last post with no text - here are the details!

Friday morning at 8:27 a.m. Jonathan Mark made his grand debut into the world! He weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz., and was 18 inches long. Three minutes later his brother appeared (after trying to elude the doctors). Josiah David weighed 5 lbs. and measured 18 inches long also.

The procedure went fine - no problems at all. We had a team of two doctors, one anesthesiologist, a neo-natal doctor, a nurse for each baby and a nurse for me, and maybe one or two others in the operating room as well. Mark was able to cut both umbilical cords short. Both babies were head down when we started, but Josiah decided to flip to a transverse position after his brother left him some space. It was a blessing that we did the c-section from the beginning.

The story we'll tell people to embarass our children for the rest of their lives is that Jonathan's first response to the world was to stick out his tongue, and Josiah's reaction was to pee on the doctor!

Babies, Daddy, and Mommy are all doing well. If things continue this way, we'll be able to all go home together on Monday!

More pics to come...

What beautiful babies!! Congrats to you and Mark. What a blessing. What a double blessing. (And you keep telling yourself that when you're up for the 5th feeding at 3:00am)
I'm so happy for you!
