The Babies Have Arrived!

At 4:19 this morning, my daughter was delivered by Caesarian section. Her brother followed her two minutes later. Our son, who we are naming Adam Christopher, weighed 5 lbs., 1 oz and was 17 and 3/4 inches long. His sister was 4 lbs., 9 oz, and 17 inches long. We are calling her Tessa, but have been unable to decide on a middle name yet. (Suggestions from my Faithful Readers will be accepted, but most likely ignored.) Her daddy (me!) may still call her "Trixie" every so often.

The Missus is doing very well. The babies are in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where they'll have to stay for a little while, but they are doing very well and the nurses and the doctors there are very pleased--as are their parents.

More details and stories will follow later, since I'm totally exhausted and heading for bed. I did manage to put together a crude page of pictures. Enjoy.
