Two weeks ago today, on Friday May 25th, we welcomed Clara Frances and Maia Lillian into the world. Clara was born at 5:47 pm. and her little sister Maia was born two minutes later at 5:49 pm. That's right, twins!
When we found out 6 months ago at our 12 week ultrasound that we were expecting multiples it was a huge shock. It had never even crossed our minds that we could have twins and it took us several months, if not the entire pregnancy, to wrap our heads around the fact that we were going to bring home not one, but two babies.
Well, now they're home, and slowly it seems as though it couldn't have been any other way. Lovely Lenabel is doing great. She loves loves loves her little sisters. She is of course a bit more sensitive than usual, but overall she is a very happy big sister.
Clara and Maia are acting like typical newborns, sleeping, eating, pooping, peeing, and occasionally, looking around to take in the new world. They were born at 38 weeks, and they are two weeks old today, so they are now today, full term.
The parents are exhausted but surviving with help from family and friends. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful network of people who love us and are willing to lend a hand during this challenging period. Caring for two newborn babies plus a toddler is proving to be quite a marathon, but there's health, love, and happiness, and we're thankful for that.
