Our Sweet Baby Girls!

It is 9:30 PM and we are sitting in the hospital room. Chris and I are both in shock that our baby girls are actually here! I want to sit down and write out the whole story, but to be honest, what I need now is REST! So for now, I will give you what you really want....PICTURES!

Leaving for the hospital:

Ready to go!
Caroline Elizabeth Smith
born at 6:00 PM
4 lbs. 13 oz.
18 inches
Carleigh Kay Smith
born at 6:01 PM
4 lbs. 6.9 oz.
17 inches
Dad and Carleigh
Mommy with her girls. I seriously saw them for about 3 seconds before they were taken to NICU.
Such a good big brother was waiting to meet them!
Caroline:

Carleigh:

Big brother needs a Popsicle, or at least something to keep him quiet!



Pops and Carleigh:
Mom and Carleigh, please excuse the swelling. It's bad y'all!
Mimi and Caroline:
Grandma with Caroline. Not sure what Caroline's expression is all about in this picture :)!
Gigi with Carleigh:
Pa and Caroline:
Sweet Carleigh.

Sleepy Caroline.

And just for the record, I hate ending this post without giving you all the details of the past 24 hours, but this mama needs some sleep! I promise to be back soon with the story and more pictures. In the mean time, Chris and I would greatly appreciate your prayers for our sweet baby girls. They are warm and cozy in the NICU, but we would love for them to graduate out of there!!
