Michael showing the twins to Camille.(I can't tell which is which, sorry)
Brooklyn is in front, and Jack is in back (I think).

Camille is still in the hospital with the babies, so I (Michael) am writing my first blog. I probably won't be as witty as my beautiful wife, but none of you are going to read what I am writing unless it is the caption on the pictures I was told to attach.
We went in to the hospital at about 11:00 am. They did some tests on us, but our doctor told us that he really didn't care what the tests said. Today was the day. Camille had the c-section at 1:30 pm, and the babies were born at approximately 1:58 and 1:59.
Our boy was the first, weighing in at 7 lbs 6 ounces and measuring 20 inches long. As you can see, he has curly brown hair. His hair was so even that it looked like it had been cut by hair clippers, and the nurses enjoyed spiking it up after giving him his bath. We were all amazed at how big his hands and shoulders are. Under the heat lamp he stretched out like a star fish, and I swear he was all shoulders and hands.
Our Girl was born just a minute after her brother. She weighed 6 lbs 9 ounces and measured 19 inches long. She looks a lot like her twin brother, but her features are more feminine. Her hair is almost jet black, but just as straight as her brother's.
So far, we don't think they'll have to go in to the NICU or anything. They seem really healthy. Camille had a significantly better experience with the c-section than with Alex's birth, though coming off of the anesthesia hasn't been all that much fun.
Anyway, here are six pictures for now. I'm sure we'll post more in the next little while.

And by the way Camille, I was remiss when you married Michael. There should have been a disclosure about how BIG Davies Babies are. But then again, they do turn out awfully nice if I do say so!
Love you again - share a diet cherry Coke soon?

Camille and Michael,
I've been checking your blog more often these days to see was happening to you. I feel like I am living my soon to be future through your expereinces. My twins are due to come out at the March. Yours are so cute and healthy. I read Michael's blog when he mentioned that you, Camille, were feeling uncomfortable... Well holy cow... those were big babies for having two inside! I hope I can tough it out as well as you do. Keep up the blogs, as I look to them for insight. Congrats again!
Michael's cousin,
Allison
