They've Arrived!!!

It all started with Chan asking me to get the ant that he saw crawling on the floor of the house and as I bent down my water broke.  That was at 5pm Monday, 3/28, and the twins were born at 11:03 and 11:12pm that same night.  Allen was in Kona for a class and luckily Papa was already at our house fixing a fan so Nana drove me to the hospital.  I wasn't having contractions initially so I was madly rushing around the house trying to get last minute stuff done - laundry, put away Easter decorations, clean out the fridge, etc.  We got to the hospital around 7 and Allen met us there, contractions started around 7:30 and then it was all fast moving from there.  

Baby A is now known as Poppy Kim and she weighed in at 4# 13oz and 19in long.  Baby B is now known as Eve Meilani and weighed in at 4# 15oz and 19in long.  They definitely don't look identical and Esme and Chan are in love with them.  They came to the hospital before going to school today and were so giddy with excitement.  

We've been fighting low blood sugar level and low body temperatures all day which has been a challenge.  They nurse one at a time for now and sometimes it's a good feed and other times not.  The plan is to go home tomorrow if all goes well and they cooperate overnight but we'll see...
