For those of you who still check this you probably already know we had our babies. and since life has been a bit busy I am just getting to this post 3 weeks late. Although life has been crazy I wouldn't change anything. I am so in love with our new additions. I have a ton of pictures too but for now I will post a few and if you are my facebook friend look there for more.
The babies are now 3 1/2 weeks old and are doing great. They are both gaining weight but Samantha seems to like her food a bit more then Eli and is now almost a pound bigger. As for me I am getting a bit more sleep thanks so my amazing husband and awesome family. Thanks to everyone who brought us meals, folded laundry and did our dishes. I owe you!
Here I am the day after Easter at 36 weeks pregnant. My water broke that afternoon and surprised us all.
Samantha Rose was born at 2:58am. She was 5.4 lbs, 18 3/4 in.
Eliott (Eli) Mitchell was born at 3:04am. He was 5.7 lbs, 18 3/4 in.
Big sister Allie came for a visit later that day.
Holding a baby for the first time.
Leaving for home
Finally home with "The Big Benz Family" as we are now calling it. Allie is loving having them home. She gets so excited and asks where her babies are when she wakes up. We are all still adjusting but slowing each day gets a bit better.
