They're Here! Meet Mathilde & Alexis Lightwood

Greetings from the Lightwood household everyone! They have arrived at last; those long awaited Lightwood ladies. They are from left to right: Alexis Sophia Lightwood, born at 1027 on Friday 12 December 08 and weighing 6lbs 4.5oz and Mathilde Josephine Lightwood, born at 1026 the same day and weighing 6lbs 14oz. The elective C-section was quick and easy and both girls were quick to arrive in our room after some precautionary treatments in the nursery. Three days later, Mom and girls were deemed fit to go home and begin to find a routine at home. Our first night at home with the girls was tough, to be sure and sleep was seldome and fleeting. That said, today's visit from the Public Health Nurse deemed the girls to be in excellent health with no jaundice, and little weight loss.
Thanks to everyone for their phone calls and support over the pregnancy, and many apologies for not getting the info out sooner. More to follow in the near future.
