Welcome Sam and Ben !!!!

Samuel Joseph and Benjamin Patrick were born today at 10:16 and 10:18 respectively. Sam was 5lbs, 2oz and Ben was 5lbs, 13oz. Sam took a little while to figure out his breathing, but he rallied and is doing well. He's skinny and his body temp drops on occasion, but the nurses here take good care of him. Once Sam puts a little weight on, he'll be fine. Ben is doing very well. Dude has been pooping all day. I got to change my first dirty diaper earlier.

As a result of the drugs she got after her c-section, Mama was forgetting to breathe, so we ended up in recovery longer than expected. The nurses got that worked out and Mama is doing well now. She's about to have a big ole milkshake, which she hasn't been allowed in a long time with her gestational diabetes.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and support. Please keep them coming.
