**We’re still busy moving and running back and forth between the hospital and home, so the 1st couple posts may be slow – but we’ll catch up soon!  

Day One

Contractions began around 7pm on Sunday, December 29th, Max’s (Baby A) water broke around 5am, and Max and Michaela were born at 7:28am and 7:41am, respectively, the morning of the 30th.  Although Max’s 1-minute APGAR score was a 1, he cried as soon as he was born!  Michaela’s 1-minute APGAR score was an 8.  By 5 minutes, they both had a score of 8 and were stabilized by the NICU team.

Max hiding under his hat right after birth. He weighed 2 pounds, 1 ounce.

Michaela’s 1st picture! She weighed 1 pound, 14.5 ounces at birth.

Delivery – although completely unexpected – went well and my recovery has been quick.  Michael and I stayed at the hospital for 3 days (Happy New Year!), and were visited by some of our favorite people!

We are so happy to welcome Max & Michaela into the world, and can’t wait until they’re big enough to squeeze.
