On Saturday night, Deanna gave birth to a baby boy and a girl, and just a few pictures. They were 2.995 kg and 2.395 kg, or ~6 1/2 lbs and 5 1/4 lbs. They were born 4 1/2 weeks early after being induced because of some complications in mom. Everybody is doing very well, with more than a little exhaustion in the parents. I've now changed 20 diapers, gradually getting the hang of it. No names have been picked yet. Names and more coming soon. What an incredible process. I'll be taking a couple weeks off, maybe making a phone call or two, and then we'll see if I can return back to work.
We'll be regularly writing on the blog, so keep checking for updates
Congratulations!
