Congratulations! Welcome two little boys into the World

Hey y'all this is Farah - I wanted to give you an update on Amanda and the boys.

The boys were delivered this morning via c-section:

Trip at 9:54am, 19 inches, 6.5oz     Jack at 9:55am,  18.5 inches, 6.7oz  

She is doing well considering she hasn't had much time to spend with the boys yet.   She did say that Trip has bigger feet than Jack! And may have red hair like his momma. 

Jack was in the room with her when I spoke to her tonight.  She is also still in the antepartum wing because the post partum is full.  Trip was still in Level 2 NICU.  His O2 levels keep dropping.  He has been there since this morning.  She is still hooked up to the catheter so she has yet to be released to walk down and see him in there ..So Keep them in your thoughts  and Send warm wishes and congrat's.
