The Day That Would Never Come!!!


Mikayla Grace (in the pink hat) & Caleb Michael (blue hat)


Well, the day has finally come. After months of bed-rest, nausea, cramps, swelling, ER trips, etc..., little Mikayla and even littler Caleb were born on September 6th 2009 at 5:41 and 5:42 PM respectively. There were born at 36.1 weeks gestational age.

Mikayla
Mikayla came in at 5 lbs. 5 oz. and 18 inches long. She is doing great down in the nursery, healthy and strong. She has a wonderfully cute scowl that she came out with. She's small but doing great so far. Bottom line is that she is perfect and amazing.



Caleb

Caleb is a small little one at 4 lbs. 9 oz and 16.5 inches long. He is up in the NICU right now because his blood sugar levels are low (which is common for premature babies), but everything else is fine. Like his sister, he is amazingly and perfectly wonderful and beautiful.



A proud Dad

Thanks for letting us see the babies! We are so happy for you both and wish you the best and happiest times with your new babes. We love you and hope that Melissa recovers quickly so she can show of her new scar :)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! You did it! Congratulations! They're much more difficult to take care of once they're out, so I wish you heaps of love and patience for the next year or so.
