As many of you may know, I've been expecting twin girls. My due date was 9/6, but due to both being breech, I was scheduled to have them via C-section on 8/27. Wellll...they decided to come early. On 8/27, a routine check with the doctor showed early signs of pre-eclampsia. The girls were delivered that night. Ashley Rose was born at 9:51pm. She came in at 18.5" and 6 pounds. Kayla Dawn was born at 9:52pm. She came in at 17" and 5 pounds 2 ounces. Both are perfectly healthy and didn't need any time in the NICU at all. (They were born at 37 weeks 6 days.) Here they are! (Don't worry, I DO have Supergirl outfits for when they are a little bigger!!!) Ashley on the right, Kayla on the left. One week old. Ashley on the left, Kayla on the right.

How adorable! And how alert for so young! I love the image of them crossing legs, as if they're used to hanging out with one another. Awwwwwwww. Congratulations on a healthy set of girls, no major complications! I hope Mom and girls are doing well.

Congratulations! They're darling!

Thanks, everyone! We are exhausted but in absolute Heaven. Virginia - that was like the one totally alert moment of the day! They sleep most of the time now - which is the only reason why I'm getting a moment to come on here. Christina - Not much longer for you now, right?

Thanks, everyone! Wow, Ultra Woman! I've actually never met a Kayla/someone with a Kayla - so that's really cool to me!

Congrats, DC - they're so cute! Wow, twins. I hope you're getting some sleep here and there! But yes, enjoy their tiny baby days. My baby starts high school tomorrow. PJ

I keep coming back to look at the pictures; I think your babies are the prettiest newborns I've ever seen. (Of course, I think my son was the cutest, but I may be just slightly biased there. ) Joy, Lynn

Awww, thanks everyone. Christina - Wow, any day? Enjoy the last bit of time before he comes. (Of course, it's more fun when the baby is here!) ChiefPam - High school? I feel like *I* just left high school! (2000 Grad here - yikes!) Lynn - Awww, thank you! That's quite the compliment. We definitely tried to make cuties.

Congrats - they look really cute (and it's already possible to see small differences so hopefully you won't have the Weasley problem!)
