Abby and Sabrina come home


Cheryl delivered our twin girls on January 8th. Sabrina was first at 9:55 followed by Abby at 9:56 pm. The knot in the cord was amazing and the doctors were very amazed the girls not only survived, but they are thriving.

They were born at 33 weeks gestation and considered premes. At approximately 4 pounds each, they were tiny and fragile, though very healthy. Four weeks later, on Saturday the 7th of February we were able to bring them home from the hospital! It turns out that was the same day I proposed to Cheryl a dozen years before.



The first couple of days were filled with excitement and sleepless nights. Not because the babies were not sleeping - they were. Instead, because we were unprepared for the change in routine. We spent much of the late night searching for clean bottles and baby wipes, wishing we had thought further ahead and planned for proper placement of the nighttime props.

It is absolutely a labor of love.
