Title: New additions to the game room
Post by: Hoopz on October 14, 2008, 10:38:03 am
Well, at some point they will be.

Alexis was born yesterday at 1:31 and weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz.  Her younger sister Lauren was born 3 minutes later and weighed 7 lbs 5oz.  Both came out without a c-section, though Lauren was breach.  She came feet first and is doing fine.

My wife is a trooper and is doing well.  She gained 30 lbs during the pregnancy and 14.5 lbs of it were the twins.  Considering how much water came out when the second sack broke during the delivery in the operating room, she had at least a gallon in there.

I tried naming them Vader and Maul but got shot down.

Proud daddy!!!!  Cried like a baby after everyone was ok yesterday though.  Things happened pretty quickly and it was nerve wracking, for me at least.  Docs and nurses seemed to take it all in stride.

I need a drink though.   ;D

Congratulations!  That's awesome!

OK - advice time. 1 kid is ok. 2 kids are fine. 3 kids and you're in trouble because you have to switch from a man-to-man to a zone defense!

Having kids was the best, most rewarding thing I've ever done with my life. Happy for you :)

I have always liked Lauren Graham!   :)

These are numbers 4 and 5 and were little surprises.  My wife has one more year of nursing school to go and took this year off because of the little blessings.  We switched to zone a few years ago.  It's now going to be like the NBA... just let em go, no defense at all.

I've got to get out of here. We have none and it sounds like it's spreading!

Pulls shirt up over nose and runs out of topic....

Well, as we have no twins on either side of the family, so my money is on the UPS driver or someone else.    :afro:

Congrats! Those are some healthy sized twins. Do you get a government subsidy for band-aids for that many kids running around unchecked?  ;)

Um if these are females why did you suggest vader and maul?  Seriously you should have gone with Ventress, Talon or Zannah.

Had to pick names my wife would know and I suggested these before we knew they were girls.

Thanks.  We need a subsidy for diapers now, band-aids down the road a couple years.

I'd bet that if the twins had come as the first kids that they would have figured it out in a hurry (I know Mrs Cheffo did)!

Congrats Hoopz!
