Stella Felicity and Margaret Grace join the clan!

Stella Felicity Carey and Margaret Grace Carey were born this morning at 8:12 AM and 8:13 AM, respectively. Stella weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and she has light hair (like Daddy). Maggie weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces and she has dark hair (like Mommy). Both girls are 18 and 3/4 inches long.

Patti delivered both girls by c-section because they were both breech at the point of full-term. While not the birth she had envisioned, it was nice not to be in labor all day.

Patti's parents brought big brother Will to the hospital this afternoon and he was great around the girls. He said "Hi" to them more than once, he gently touched their hair and patted their sides, and he kissed them good-bye at the end of his visit. THANK YOU to Bill and Bonnie for taking care of Will during today's new experiences.

Once we're home this weekend, we'll upload a lot of pictures. For now, we hope this works for you.
