Hello All-
Well, I thought I would just let you know what has been going on recently. Earlier today, my mom went into labor with the twins. Everything was pretty calm considering. She was having contractions and the injections they were giving her to postpone them were not working. So they decided to deliver. It was a fairly quick process, but it seemed a bit long on the other side of the delivery door (it was a c-section so only the father was allowed in there). Finally, I saw the little bodies covered in blankets. Here are the stats:

Baby #1:
