We're Here!

Last night, October 2, at about 11:00 PM, the Birnie Twins were delivered via Cesarean Section. Mom and Boys (and Dad) are all doing well!

We were in the middle of our discussion on names when we got the lab results back and the doctor recommended the procedure. Things have moved fast since then, so no given names yet, so here are the details and photos using their in utero nicknames.

Si was born first at 3 lbs 1 oz and just over 15 inches long. JB came right after at 2 lbs 15.3 oz and also just over 15 inches long. They both spoke right up after their birth and seem strong and healthy for being born at 31 weeks. They are incredibly beautiful works of wonder!

We'll post as soon as we can - the plans for the babies' care and Suzanne's recovery, the new room information, and more cute pictures. For now, please share our good news and rest assured that we are all fine & happy.

PS. Suzanne would love to hear from you, but please don't be surprised if it's only a short conversation. Likewise, we would really love to see friends and family, but please call before visiting - as Suzanne needs her rest for a few days.
