You can check Casey's blog for the full story, but in short, she went into labor a little over 12 hours before her scheduled C-section. The girls wanted to make a surprise arrival! So they were born via C-section at 9:33 and 9:34 pm on Tuesday, June 2nd. Mya was born first at 7#6oz and Stella followed at 6#2oz.
Everyone is thriving and doing amazingly well. Spend five minutes with this new, little family and you will see that, not only were Casey & Wes meant to be parents, they're defying the odds and all the teasing and jokes about how difficult bringing home twins would be. Casey is exclusively breastfeeding the girls and she is doing awesome. She doesn't seem overwhelmed in the slightest. Both girls sleep pretty well at night so the new parents aren't nearly as exhausted as I imagined they'd be. Wes is such a calm, hands-on father and wonderful support for Casey. I am so proud of them - all of them. These two little miracles are going to bring so much joy to their parents and our whole family.
Here's Miss Stella:
And Miss Mya:
They look nothing alike! But both are cute as can be. Here's a couple recent ones with Sophie too. They crack me up. In the first one, Stella (on the right) is saying "talk to the hand" and in the 2nd one, Sophie looks like she's trying to put her arms around her cousins.
Casey and I thought going through pregnancy together was going to be awesome. But it flew by so quickly and didn't really feel all that significant. But THIS is really fun now. We call each other and one of us is inevitably breastfeeding or burping a baby. We talk about our day/night and it feels nice to know that we're sort of going through this together. Our daughters are going to grow up together and play together and go to school together. And Casey and I will go through all the same phases of motherhood together.
