Two For The Price Of One!

My sister finally had her much anticipated twins!  I was so excited when I got the call at 2 in the morning and her water broke!  We, my parents and my siblings, all rushed up to the hospital to see how things would go.  I got there first and my sister said what are you doing here?  I told my I would call when we know what is going on.  I told her we couldn't wait and everyone would be up here soon.  We were all so excited.  Turns out she didn't have her C-section until 7 AM, but it was still fun to be up there with the family.  There really is nothing like the excitement of waiting for a little one to join our family and we were waiting for two little ones!  We had been joking that my sister really wanted the twins to come on my Grandma Wilk's birthday and her water broke just in time.  They were born on the same day as my grandmother.  I really felt like grandma was looking down on us that day and I know she was so happy to send these wonderful babies to be part of our family. 

Lewis arrived with his other grandma around 7 and he of course had his Big Brother t-shirt on.  He was pretty excited and knew that "two babies" would be joining us soon.  The babies finally came out of the delivery room with their dad...they were so cute.  They were just curled up with each other.  My brother-in-law loves to joke around with us and he would NOT tell us the babies names.  They had kept it a secret from us the entire pregnancy.  If I'm honest, I don't really think they had any idea what to call them until a few weeks before they arrived. 

Finally the doctor accidentally spilled the beans to all of us outside the nursery and we were introduced to Spencer Thomas and Riley Ann. 

They are seriously so cute! I have been having so much fun with them. I was able to take several days off work and stay overnight to help my sister.  It was such hard work, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I feel really close to both of my nieces and my nephews.  It is so fun to have two of each now!
