THE TWINS ARE FINALLY HERE!!  ISAAC COLEMAN (COLE) IS 4 POUNDS 5 OUNCES AND 18 INCHES.  CHRISTIAN BLAKE IS 7 POUNDS 2 OUNCES AND 21 INCHES. 

BLAKE SPENT A COUPLE OF HOURS IN NICU, BUT BOTH ARE DOING FINE NOW.   

I WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO PRAYED FOR A SAFE DELIVERY.  DESPITE THE DIFFERENCE IN SIZE AND THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE EXPECTED BY THEIR PHYSICIANS, THEY ARE DOING JUST BEAUTIFULLY!  WE ARE WAITING FOR THE KIDNEY SONOGRAMS BUT ARE EXPECTING NO PROBLEMS.   

PAWPAW AND I ARE SO GRATEFUL TO JESUS FOR OUR BOYS . . . AND OF COURSE, WE ARE PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW OFF HIS HANDIWORK.

 

WELCOME BLAKE AND COLE!

They both look so sweet. Congradulations :)

They are so cute. They will not grow equally, because of the difference now; they were stunted in the womb, but that can be overcome, because small physical size sometimes means mental superiority.

Flying by so I can get to everyone that I can, sorry about the generics, but count this comment as a pitch in to my mom's birthday present, and her birthday is April 3. thanks, and thank you for being my gather friend and for sharing, making gather go round and round.

Dena this is the happy news I have been waiting for. I have thought about this situation and prayed on it often. I am so happy that they have safely arrived. Truly a time for celebration for your family. The boys are beautiful!
Marianne R. Mar 15, 2009, 6:04am EDT
Congrats. One is really so tiny compared to the other. I don't see twins often so that was a surprise to me. Glad they are both healthy.
Claudia (kitty-cat) K. Mar 15, 2009, 6:05am EDT
Indeed they are. I am now pain free for the first time in 24 hours, so I thought I'd come back and see what everybody else said. I had to take a migraine pill. I don't like to take so many.
