I know they were supposed to be born on the 20th but once again, we can not stick to the plan for anything. I had been having contractions but I thought they were the practice ones and went in to Dubbo to get check out by my Dr for some high blood pressure (yes, high bp again!) and the Dr decided to do a check and I was dialated to 4! So we did the c-section that day instead of waiting a week. It was interesting as Austin just missed it (he was back in Cobar and drove as fast as he could but missed it by 20 mins) and in that 30 or so mins from when I went into the OR to when he showed up, Helen was passed around from Nurse to Nurse until Austin made in. Thank goodness for the kindness of those nurses.
Anyways, Twin one was born Jason David Hemphill, 3.18 kgs, 49 cms and 15:43.
Twin two was born Erik Robert Hemphill, 2.80 kgs, 49 cms, at 15:43.
Once again in the fashion of our naming kids, the first name is their own and the second name is after family. David after my and Austin's fathers and Robert after my Grandfather.
We just had their two week appt today and they are almost at their birthweight, so yeah for the two week recovery. Jason has gained 160 gms in the last nine days and Erik gained 210 gms. They are my little piggies.
Here is a shot of me the next day holding them. Still a little out of it....
Here they are in their cot. Jason on the left and Erik on the right.
Here is a close up of their heads. Jason looks like Austin and Erik looks more like Helen which takes after me I guess.
Here they are in the back seat of the car, ready to come home.
More pics are to come as I get them sorted on put online. Thanks for looking!

They are darling and so precious. I wish I could be there to hold them. I love babies, as they are the closest to the veil. Congrats on Jason and Eric. Love to all. Helen really will grow to love them after a time. Isaac had to be watch like a hawk when the twin girls, Ila and Ruby were born. Now they are best of friends.
Love,
Aunt Shari
You make cute babies! Grandpa Lorge always said we don't make ugly babies. Heehee! Glad to hear you all are doing well and that the birth went fine.
What a couple of cuties! Congratulations! I'm glad to hear that everything went well. Take care, and try to get some sleep - yes, even if it means not blogging, although we do enjoy the pictures!
