NEW BABIES!!!!

I will go into my infertility story another time...let's just say 10 years of marriage, then a daughter through adoption and then 3 years later a homegrown son.  (More on that in another post!)

This is about my BRAND NEW NIECES!!  My brother and sister in law have been trying to have babies since their marriage in September 2005.  After 5 failed IVF's that didn't 'take' or they got a positive then lost the pregnancy. NUMBER SIX was the one!...er I should say TWO.

I was blessed and thrilled to be by their side at all their fetal assessments, doc appts, and even there through the whole labour!!!  I wasn't able to go into the delivery room as there were too many docs and staff in there - but I was able to meet the girls right after birth, not even wrapped in blankets yet.  Mila, the biggest and oldest @ 6 lbs 5 oz was born first and she has black hair and is beautiful, the second girl, Anabella was born second (rough rough rough delivery - nightmare stuff actually) Anabella weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. and has a smattering of dirty blonde hair. Introducing....
