Say hello to our new littles!

It's been a busy week - our little ones have come out to play! There's so many pictures that I'm just going to do a drop here but hopefully we'll go back to semi-normal updates again after. A few new videos are available as well!

Theodore Scott Aldridge was born first at 7 lbs 1 oz and Lily Piper Aldridge was second at 7 lbs 4 oz. Suffice to say, we were not expecting that much weight - we were thinking they were barely 6 lbs each. It's all those peanut butter sandwiches and ice cream...

The girls had a brief warming up period but now they're all kisses and wanting to bring them their pacifiers and bottles so they won't cry. They're great big sisters :)

There's nothing sexier than a man in a paper suit holding his newborn twins :)

Father and son napping. Lily was in the NICU at this point for jaundice (ended up spending a few days there) so Theo got some exclusive 1:1 time for a couple days.

At home!


Hi!


I see the resemblance...



Why thank you for that smile!



Everyone's home! Best Christmas ever :)


Dad feeding the babies with Avy looking on. He's old hand at this, as is the couch - the couch has "twindents" from feeding the girls this way ;)


Unphaseable.


Good gentle, Avy!

Snuggles for everyone!

And here comes the fun!

All, I'd like you to meet Theodore Scott Aldridge, born 12/2/15 (exact time TBD) and Lily Piper Aldridge, born two minutes later. Theo clocked in at 7lbs 1 oz and Lily at 7lbs 4 oz - looks like all those peanut butter sandwiches went to good use!

Both got APGAR scores of 9 and started nursing immediately. Momma is hale and hearty but not allowed to eat yet (dreeeeeaming of foooooood). If I'd known it was going to be this easy I would have added a few more to the batch! Efficiency!

Many many more pictures to come soon. Our love to you all.

Final belly!
