They're here!!!

After a very long night, and an even longer day, the twins have arrived. J&M headed into the hospital at 2:30am this morning where the doc checked Marie and found she was dilated to 7cm. They immediately put in the epidural and got ready to go. Long story short, 13 hours later with a pitocin drip that had been going since late morning, she was still 7cm. So at 3:31/3:33pm today, they did a c-section and delivered Kasia Marie (6lb12oz and 19 1/4") and Moira Grace (6lb 7oz and 19 1/2"). For those of you with poor math skills, that was over 13 lbs of BABY in there!!! Everyone is doing well, though they're all very tired. So far, I think Kasia looks like Jeff and Moira looks like Marie.

Thanks again to both of you for your time and committment to our family. It is a long drive and longer day. The flowers with the balloon were a truly tender touch. Rod, I appreciate the time you took from your own schedule.

Wish I had been there with the "whole" family but you know I was in spirit. So did Miss V get to meet her cousins once they were moved to the room? Thanks to all of you for getting down to welcome Kasia and Moira. Love and hugs, Mom

Uncle Rod, Aunt Kristin, and cousin Victoria,
Marie and I are both very grateful for your family coming down to be with us as our increased. It was great to have the three of you there, and we can't wait for Christmas to get the girls together. (And there is an entire box of cigars just waiting to be opened!)

And yes, I am typing this with a baby in my arm... though I'm not exactly sure which one it is! :)

- U. Jeff and A. Marie
