BABIES!

Hello, Everyone! This is Emily, Kendra's sister. Well, the babies are here!


Meet Lucas:

Luke was born vaginally just after 1:00 am on March 27th, 2010 and weighed in at 7lbs 7 ounces.

and meet Abigail:

Abbey came a bit later via c-section and weighed in at 5lbs 9 ounces. From what we know, the reason that the c-section was necessary was because, suddenly having SO MUCH ROOM (her chunky brother having just vacated the womb), Abbey moved herself out of position to be born vaginally.

Unfortunately, Kendra needed to be put under general anesthesia and missed Abbey's arrival. Please please PLEASE be praying for Kendra. She's doing well in recovery, but we just know how much she wanted to be awake for Abbey's birth.

Our whole family is feeling so blessed. These little babies are truly gifts from God :)

Here are some more pictures:

We get to see them again in about an hour. I will continue to update you! Please continue to pray :)

Love,

Emily

Praise God for healthy babies and healthy (if not ideal) deliveries! I will be praying for Kendra as she recovers from surgery. Please tell her I said hello and HOORAY!

Heather said...

They are PERFECT! I cannot believe how big Luke is and how teeny Abbey looks in Dad`s arms next to him. Oh, I am so happy for you guys! Kendra, you are quite the woman- 2 "kinds" of birth in one night... phew! Prayers for a speedy recovery and the most joyous of days ahead!

Oh Kendra, praise be to God! His plan is perfect, and your children are a testament to that. They are gorgeous! You will be in my constant prayers for peace, adjustment, and rapid healing. We love you guys.

Thank you Auntie Em! Kendra and David Noah and I were both up anxiously awaiting texts bearing good news of great joy that we had become aunt and uncle status. SO happy your babies are big and healthy. Abbey does look so chill even in the pictures her sweet personality is evident. Lukey looks a bit pink, was he perhaps a little more upset about being in the world? David your smile could not be any bigger or any prouder! Congratulations! Praying for a good recovery. Love you all! I'm crying happy tears all over again now.

Heather said...

Emily said...

Hurray! They are so beautiful!! And although I'm sad (and I'm sure she is too) she wasn't able to deliver both vaginally, now she has an interesting story about getting to have both a vaginal and a C-section with the same pregnancy. :)

Kendra~ they are so beautiful! What a privilege it is to be blessed twice. I hope you are enjoy the flood of emotions that comes with being a new mommy! It is a special time that you will always treasure!
My twins loved seeing the pictures of Luke and Abby! Bree said, "look mommy they are twins like me and Blythe. That means they are especially chosen by God. And their mommy and daddy were especially and chosen too. Just like me and sister and you and dad."
She is pretty wise for almost 4. Hope you are getting to love on those especially chosen blessings tonight!

Congratulations, they are perfect and beautiful all rolled into one. Hope you have a speedy recovery...two different births at one time is a lot for one gal to take.
