Say hello to Bella and Jemma

Eric and Sara had their twins last week. What beautiful little girls! Sara was on couch and bed rest for the last 12 weeks of her pregnancy but this allowed her to carry the twins until they were 36 weeks.

This is Bella. She came out first and is almost a full pound bigger than her "younger" sister.

Here is Jemma. She was born 9 minutes after Bella. Jemma was breach at first. The doc was trying to turn her around when she spring boarded off his feet, did a summersault and came out head first. She might be a little gymnist!

Eric has been in marketing for quite some time. They have done something simlar to these "twins" bars for the births of all his girls. He does a great job. There was a twix inside the wrapping and everything. It is hard to read the back but it has all of the info about the girls including the doc that delivered them.

It is hard to tell if they are identical or not. The doctors are doing the dna tests to find out but they won't know for a while. Dad and Bet are looking at them to see if they can tell. Other than bella being heavier, there isn't much difference yet.

Audrey is still getting used to being a big sister instead of the baby. She will get there. Bella started crying while we were ther (she was hungry). Audrey promptly informed Grandpa Randy that "Bella needs Mommy".

Eric and sara are a great team. While having twins is no doubt a rough thing to handle, twins with three other little girls running around will bring it's own special challenges. They are surrounded by people who love them and are willing to help at any time (some of us are just a little farther away).
