Technically, we aren't allowed to deliver twins at Mercy Maternity, but these little girls surprised us. Sadly though, their mom hemorrhaged after birth and had to be emergency transported to the hospital. Naomi, who is one of the "marrieds" and delivered the twins, took the them home and babysat them all week while their mom recovered. Praise the Lord...their mom is ok now and has her babies with her at home.
The twins weighed 3 pounds and 5 pounds (plus some ounces...I can't remember the exact numbers).
Both are doing very well....so tiny but so perfect.
The larger is named Sweetie, and the smaller: Cutie (yes, those are their names on the birth certificate :).
Please pray that they will continue to thrive and that their mom will be able to regain her strength quickly.

Oh, they are so cute!!!! Did you help name them? jk! ;-) I think twins are so neat, but I am sure they can be a handful too! So....why can't you deliver twins...normally?
Have a great week! :D

Hehe...nope, I didn't help name them. :D
We don't normally deliver twins because there is a much higher risk for complications which can be dealt with much better at a hospital.
What sweet babies! Malcom and Noah both weighed around 3.5# (30 wks. gestation) and spent 65 days in the hospital. After the initial premie issues (none too serious, thank God), they were convalescent feeders/growers.
I'm thankful the mother of Sweetie and Cutie recovered from the birth. I pray all will continue to go well for them.
What a blessing to be present at this birth!
Take care, Jordan.
