Well our two little angels are here! (For those who are interested details of delivery are provided in next post.) They made their grand arrival quite a bit early--33 weeks and 2 days. We were hoping to make it to at least 35-36 weeks. They were born on 6-7-8. June 7th, 2008 at 11:50-ish a.m. and 11:54-ish a.m. Both girls weighed 4 lbs. 1 oz. and were just over 17" each.
We expect them to stay in the NICU for about 3-4 weeks, but they could leave as early as 2 weeks. They must be able to keep their temperatures up and take all their feedings from breast or bottle. Right now they are fed mostly through a tube into their tummy. Although, Clara did take an entire feeding and more from breast today!
The NICU has private rooms for the girls. We have a bed for the parents to sleep over (which Justin did last night) It's really super nice considering all. Life will be pretty crazy for awhile. But the girls are doing well and just need to keep growing!

Very exciting. I'm glad everything went so well, other then it being so early. But they look healthy and it sounds like everything is going great. Congratulations.
Congratulations Jessica (and Justin too)! Your girls are just beautiful like the rest of you : )I hope they start eating and growing so they can go home soon.
Love, The Nelsons
Jessica, Nicole and I are very excited for you guys, and Nicole is quite jealous of the twin girls. Congratulations.
Rob and Nicole Mooney
