We are so happy to announce the birth of Grant Michael and Vivian Nicole, born August 26th, 2012!! After going into labor late Saturday night, little Grant and Vivi made their entrance into the world at 6:31 am and 6:44 am Sunday morning. It was a smooth delivery (I managed to escape a c-section) and the babies were born healthy and well. Being born one day short of the 36 week mark, they were directly admitted into the NICU (a new protocol at our hospital). This turned out to be okay as the babies were watched very closely and I got some much-needed rest before bringing these little bundles of love home with me. I must say it was very positive experience after so much fear and anticipation of what delivering twins would be like. I felt so good afterwards, I was just so happy to have them here and healthy. They are so sweet and such "easy" babies so far, as I write this they are close to 6 weeks old... We are taking things day by day : ). I still look at them and feel blessed and still a slightly shocked that our family of four is now a family of six! Reese and Drew have been wonderful little helpers, Drew is quite the nurturing big brother... Always lending a hand and cuddling the babies whenever he gets a chance. Reese loves the babies, but at this point, he has more important things to do. Being a big brother is old news to him : ) He will take the opportunity to hold one of them (usually Grant as he prefers "the boy"), but it is short-lived and then moves on to the next activity. Drew (new to the big brother role) just loves the babies and prefers to hold both at the same time... Overall, they have adjusted well and are enjoying their new brother and sister. In the meantime, we pray for healthy babies and sleep... and more sleep ;).
