Our new additions

On November 12th at 3:14 and 3:20am, our family welcomed two new boys into our lives. Oliver, the older brother, and Emerson arrived weighting 6 lbs 13oz each and were 19 1/2 inches long. Our doctors, OB nurses, and us were surprised to hear that they weighted exactly the same and were the same length.


Big Brother Eli was very excited that his brothers finally "came out". He clapped his hands and jumped up and down when he heard the news. Upon arriving at the hospital he promptly wanted to hold each of them. he wanted to bring them home that day. luckily for mommy and babies they were able to stay in the hospital a few days more.Upon arriving home, we all tried to settle into our new life as a family of five! Thank goodness for Utah Grandma, she came and was a big help to us all. She took night shifts, cleaned, changed diapers, held Emerson and Oliver and played with Eli. I think she went home tired!

Now it is just the five of us, adjusting to a houseful of boys. We have our good times and our bad. But life with twins is an adventure. Eli is a BIG helper. He loves to hold his brothers and sing to them. He also likes to help out with bath time. Oliver and Emerson are finally out of the honeymoon stage, where they sleep all the time ( a bittersweet moment). They both enjoy tummy time, Oliver has already shown that he can roll over from tummy to back (We have it on video). Their personalities are already shining through. Oliver is laid back most of the time, where as Emerson is more spirited. We love our family and hope to share lots of experiences in the future!
