One Week Old!

Holy cow--we made it through the first week with our sanity intact! We feel like we can do anything... except get a good night's sleep.

Here are a few pics from today:

They're Hee-ere...

The twins are here, and now we're all home together!
Meet the new kids:

Vernon James Donovan
"Vern Jimmy"
Born 6/29 @ 1:15pm
7lbs, 6oz
19 1/4"

 


June Violet Donovan
"June Bug"
Born 6/29 @ 1:17pm
7lbs, 14oz
19 3/4"




We got to have skin-to-skin contact with them as soon as they arrived:




Overall, their births went as we expected... except that Savannah was not anticipating her debilitating nausea post-anesthesia on Friday; and neither of us expected night two at the hospital to be so challenging with both babies wanting to be nursed and held constantly.

But Evelyn and some of the kids' many grandparents got to visit:







All four of these "lucky" individuals below were born by C-section at this very hospital...





We got released early this afternoon with everyone looking healthy!




We hope to see you see all of you in the real world soon! Come by and help us hold babies!

With love, The Donovan Gang
