The boys are here!! Our sweet boys arrived bright and early on Tuesday, August 12th. I woke up about 4:30 am with some good contractions so I woke up Kelly. We called my sister to come be with Karly and left for the hospital at about 6:00 am, and the boys arrived a short hour and a half later!
Broden Grant Ash ("Brody")
time: 7:39 am
weight: 7.2 lbs
length: 18 in
Deegan Delbert Ash
time: 7:43 am
weight: 6.2 lbs
length: 17 1/2 in
If you can't tell from the pictures, Brody has quite a bit of dark hair and a rounder face. He looks just like Karly did when she was born. Deegan has a skinnier face and lighter hair like me. For some reason, both boys were born with what my sister, Erika, refers to as the bishop hair-do. They have a lot of hair on the sides and are bald on top. Their hair is coming in nicely now, however. :)Below is a lovely picture of me in all my glory, right before we left for the hospital. (Yes, I'm wearing one of Kelly's fishing t-shirts.)
35 weeks, 6 days
They spent exactly two weeks in the NICU because, while they were a good weight, they both still acted like preemies as far as eating goes. They were very sleepy and had to be fed through tubes in their nose. We had to slowly work them up to taking all their feedings by bottle. It seemed like a slow and painful process at the time, but we're grateful it was only two weeks. We are so lucky they are both so healthy and happy!
This is them snuggled up together in their NICU bed.(Brody on the left, Deegan on the right)
They came home on August 26th to a very excited big sister!
Deegan, Karly, BrodyLife has been a blur ever since!
