Default Family Doubled In Size

My wife and I welcomed our first and second sons into the world a week ago. (been too darn busy to post sooner).

Albert weighed in at 6lb 13oz and was 19.5" and his baby brother Pierce, who was born 10 minutes later, weighed in at 7lb 5oz and was 21" long. My wife is doing well despite carrying two babies to term and delivering them the old fashioned way. The boys are healthy and are doing well. The hate being separated though.

Here's a picture my wife took when they were 16 hours old.

Good looking little fellas; are they 'identical twins'?

Congrats on the healthy boys.

You have no clue what you're in for unless you've raised twins. Doing that now [ mine turned 7 today] and I've earned the mental instability medal for this experience!

Enjoy the ride man, it's unique

Thanks everyone or the love and support! Don't know if they're identical or fraternal just yet. Every test that they've done could be either. I'm sure we'll do a DNA test eventually. We just took their bracelets off. I think we can tell them apart enough to keep them straight. I guess that would make them fraternal.

Magic marker on a foot works well Trust me.

We couldn't tell our boys apart for a long time. The first 3 months Adam had a sharpie mark on his foot!

Congrats! I always thought having twins would be the coolest experience until I met Mike's boys!

Now I am very glad I had mine one at a time!

But seriously, very cool and yes you'll be busy, tired and sleep deprived for the next 18 years.

I was sitting here quietly reading the post and thinking the same thing. Our boy/girl twins were six times the work of our three older girls spaced two years apart. Everything from teething at the same time to the terrible two's at the same time - it was great, but work. Oh, and don't forget buying two cars at the same time when they are old enough to drive.

Mark and Kimberly turned 22 in June, and I'm not sure, but I think we're just about out of the woods and can take a deep breathe and maybe relax a little.

It was work, but I wouldn't trade the memories for anything in the world.

Congratulations on a healthy family!

I once met a set of twins that were friends with one of my kids. When we were introduced, I looked for ways to tell them apart, and noticed a slight difference in their freckle pattern. I always called them by their correct names after that, and they both responded warmly to the extra effort I made, especially the younger of the two. Twins come with unique challenges and rewards.
