They're here!

Just a quick update...

At about 7 am this morning Baby A's water broke so we went to the hospital where they decided to go ahead and do a c-section and deliver the babies. Baby A was born at 11:21 am and weighed in at 3 pounds 11 ounces. Baby B came a minute later at 11:22 am and weighed 3 pounds 13 ounces. Both babies were 16.75" long. The babies are now in the NICU but they seem to be doing really well considering that they were only 31 weeks and 1 day old. Baby A is now "officially" known as Liam and Baby B is Xiomara (the "x" is pronounced like an "s" if you're wondering).

We're so grateful we were able to get this far considering how close we were to losing them at 20 weeks. I know Nicole hasn't exactly enjoyed her nearly 3 months of bedrest, but I think she'd agree that the reward was worth the trouble :)

Thank you for all your prayers, well wishes, help, and support. What a wild and wonderful day!
