The Twins are here!

These were in my belly, at the same time

Thursday evening, after a long day of laboring, the twins made their first appearance out of the belly.
Evelyn Janelle Toth was born at 8:59 p.m. She weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz and was 20 inches long.
Gideon David Toth was born at 9:01 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 and a half inches long.
I'm busy nursing the babies around the clock and squeezing in sleep when I can. Kevin is busy chasing after the boys. After I get more than 3 hours of sleep a night, I'll think about writing out the twins' birth story. Until then I'll leave you with pictures and this little fact: We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours. During that time, I changed only one diaper. Kevin did the rest, jumping up to expertly deal with delicate bits while I recovered in bed. It would be wonderful if there was only one baby, but he did double duty without a complaint. He is such an amazing man.

Congrats you guys! What a beautiful family. Kristen, I am amazed that not only did you stay pregnant longer than expected with twins but that you had two little ones that really were not too little- amazing. It is hard to believe that they were both in that little belly- you look wonderful! Blessings and favor over your family.

Beautiful, beautiful! So thankful for healthy littles and mommy. I'm sad I can't meet them right away, like i did with the boys, and that I can't bring over one of my special one-pot-wonders. I'll make it up someday. Love to you all!

Oh, Kristen, it's all beautiful. The babies, the pictures, the post, you. I'm all kinds of emotional over here now. I will continue to pray for you guys as you continue to adjust. We love you guys!
