BABIES ARE HERE!!!! :)

Well, it's not exactly what we had expected, but early this morning I got "the call"... it was 6:00 am, Erin said she had been having contractions during the night, and was dialated, so they were going to prep her to delivery the babies via C section.

So I rushed over to the hospital to be with Erin, and by 6:40 they had her in the operating room, prepping for the C section. Everything went very smoothly, the doctors and nurses were absolutely phenomenal and kind (as they have been for the duration). So...

We are pleased to announce the arrival of (in this order):
Emery Jill Ence - 3 lbs 2 oz, born at 7:00 am
Collin Richard Ence - 3 lbs 11 oz, born at 7:03 am

They were taken quickly to the NICU, and I was just able to visit them a little while ago. Things are good, they are holding steady - all vital signs are positive and the nurses tending to them there are satisfied with their status.

Erin is doing great, just trying to catch up on some rest now... we'll have more information soon, and maybe some pictures of the babies. We are grateful that the next chapter of our little adventure seems to have started off very well.
