The Heigl Twins Have Arrived!

Our twins have finally arrived. Willow Adeline and Alenni Suzann were born on Friday 19th of November at 9:46 and 9:56 am. Willow was born first and weighed 5lbs and 10 ounces. Alenni weighed 5lbs and 12 oz. Both girls are 19inches long and very healthy. The little ladies are believed to be identical and do look very similar though their heads have yet to recover from being squashed in the womb!

Willow and Alenni already have a special bond and do not like to be far apart. They are most content when they are tightly wrapped and placed in their bassinet together. The nurses at the hospital said that both girls even managed to share a pacifier during one of their visits to the nursery! I wish we'd gotten pictures of that. They also enjoy sucking on each other's hands. If one baby cries, the other will respond which makes the evenings quite fun for Mommy and Daddy.

Enjoy a few pictures and celebrate the wonderful blessing God has given us. We'd ask that you continue to keep us all in your prayers as these two are already proving to be a bit of a challenge. We're only four days in and we're already sleep deprived!
