Welcome Turtles!







After 6-7 hours of labor, our little girl Turtles were born at our home in Providence on Friday.


Jude
7 lbs.
19" long
Born at 1:55 a.m.


Eliya
6lbs. 12 oz.
18 and 1/4 inches long
Born at 1:59 a.m.


My husband is now a real ladies man with two more daughters in the mix! We are all delighted by the uncomplicated birth and Vivi managed to sleep through the entire labor and woke up just in time to see Eliya being born. She is doing wonderfully in her role as big sister.

Thank you to everyone for their warm wishes and encouragement throughout this entire pregnancy.

I will post more when I can. Now the real work begins!

  4. Hooray! Congratulations to all of you. Whichever Turtle is on the right in the first photo already looks just like Vivi to me.

    I'm so happy your pregnancy and the birth went to well. Enjoy getting to know Jude and Eliya.

    BTW, Maddie was 7lbs. even and Riley was 6lbs. 10oz., so our babes were almost exactly the same size!

    So happy for you.
