They're here!!

Fionnuala Pauline and Bran Zachariah arrived today at 1:26 and 1:28 respectively. Nuala weighed in at a whopping 6lbs 11oz and Bran surprised us by only being 6lbs 3oz, both are 20 inches long. They both have some hair, Nuala's is short and curly blondish brown and Bran's is a bit longer, straighter and darker.

Fiona had a C-section. Before Nuala was even all the way out she looked around and decided she didn't like what she saw, she cried for a few minutes. Bran came out sleepy, he cried halfheartedly and then nodded off to sleep. Everyone's healthy and doing well.
In the picture on the right, Nuala is on the right with her eye open, and Bran is snoozing on the left.
This blog made available thanks to our good friends Oliver and Kristin who happen to be delivering in the same hospital at the same time as us!

I want to just squeeze them and hug them and hold them. They are so precious. Love, Grandma Buttons
Since that is what all of the grandchildren call me...I would like Bran and Nuala to call me that if it is OK with them. Love Zac's Mom
