So, "how do the older kids like the twins?"

I have been asked this a lot lately. "Is everyone getting along ok?"

MaggieMae came in on Saturday morning (all the kids visited for a few minutes Friday after school) for a more personal visit with mom and the twins. MaggieMae marched right past me, and hopping up into the chair, "Grandma, get me William". She only held him for a few minutes, but it was important to her to do it.

The kids are all adjusting well. This morning (our first morning home from the hospital) the kids were "shushing" each other around the breakfast table for fear of waking the twins (Mind you, I have been on bed-rest for about 3 months and never received such quiet in the house!).

If a baby squeaks or cries, there are many feet that come running in our house. Of course the older kids are not big enough to help out with that (all the kids are allowed to hold the babies on the couch with adult supervision or help) but that is about the end of it for actual "hands on".

For those who may have missed it, the twins were born via c-section Friday afternoon. I came home yesterday and all three of us are doing well. RosiLee 6 lbs, 4 oz and 19 1/4 inches long, William 7 lbs, 6 oz., 20 inches long. One of the twins (ironically the larger) was almost kept at the hospital because of weight loss issues, but is doing well. We just keep feeding him, and he is progressing.

Both are too cute! RosiLee represents my "girl mold" well. She looks very much like her two bigger sisters did at that age. She has dark brown hair, strong contrasting features, looks like a minature girl. William looks just like his brothers (evidentally my boy mold). He has big chubby face and looks "all baby". It is curious to look at him, especially compared to RosiLee, and think they were worried about his weight?
