Welcome Shayna and Sophie!

Shayna Maleah and Sophie Rose were born yesterday, March 27, 2010!
Shayna is named after both of Sherri's grandmothers (Maleah means peaceful, which is the same meaning as Frieda.) Also, Shayna is named after my grandmother Sylvia. Sophie is named after my greatgrandmother.
So far they are doing well. Shayna may have to be treated a bit for jaundice, but everything seems good besides that.
Shayna was born at 7:11 p.m. Weighing in at 5 lbs 11 ozs, and 18.9 inches.
Sophie was born at 7:23 p.m. Weighing in at 4 lbs 15 ozs, and also 18.9 inches.
Once things got going everything went very quickly. The hospital has a policy that all "multiple" births happen in the OR. Sherri was taken to the OR about 7:00 p.m. (Not that she didn't labor before that, but everything happened at once when she did get in the OR.) It was a natural birth, but Sophie was delivered "breach" (feet first).

Anyway, here's some pictures:

Can't quite tell from here, but 90% sure that is Sophie.

Sarah has been doing very well with her siblings so far. She keeps wanting to touch them. When both the babies started to cry, Sarah jumped right in there and cried with them. They seem like they will get along just fine.
