I’m excited to share that last week the Hopscotch twins made their arrival – right at 38 weeks! We are quickly finding out that twins are a whole lot of work, but of course incredibly loveable!

On the left is little miss and on the right is little mister (when I’m less sleep deprived I’ll come up with better names – feel free to give me your suggestions!).

She weighed in at 6 lbs, 4 oz and 19 inches long, while he weighed in at 6 lbs, 9 oz and 19.25 inches long. Yep, that means I had almost 13 pounds of baby in me at the end! Crazy. They also look so delightfully different from one another I still can’t get over it. I’m pretty sure that she is a mini-me and he is a mini-Mr. Hopscotch.

I’m especially excited to share their birth story; in addition to wanting to ensure I remember it all, I really want to share it because it seems rare to hear about twins who are born vaginally. When I found out we were having twins, I immediately assumed I’d be scheduling a c-section. I had no clue that trying for a vaginal birth was something we could even think about, let alone successfully accomplish!

While I’ll be snuggling up with these two for awhile, I hope to be back to blogging more regularly!
