Hospital Adventures

On Sunday morning, a few hours after the twins were born, we had a special visitor!

We've been hyping the arrival of the babies for months, so it's nice that Will is (for the moment at least) loving it.

And which hospital visit isn't complete without one of these?

I'm feeling like twins is harder, so far, than having only Will. It's especially hard on Alexa, who's been able to tandem nurse. Still, I've missed an hour or two of sleep, and I'm fairly sure I was sleeping (in one form or another) when Alexa snapped this.

They are so sweet, though!

Soon enough, our hospital time came to an end and it was time to pack up and ship out. We got into car seats.

But Mom wasn't finished. We needed... bows...

First, take the "Girlie Glue" (yes, that's a thing)...

...and then add the bows. Cake. Instant "awwww!"

Then it was into the car, which now has a full back seat.

Grandma and Will had prepared a fun homecoming for us!

We're told that the door originally looked like this...

...but the wind caught the balloons and both bottles rolled down the stairs.

Miraculously, they survived, and we were able bring them out for a quick picture.

Will was more than happy to help carry in the car seats.

He'd drawn a poster for us (with Grandma's help, of course.)

We're so excited for the new babies!
