Zora & Noemi are Here!

The new Evans family

Hi all, We're about to bed down for an hour or so after our big day - before waking up for the 11:15pm feeding.

Zora is in the NICU, progressing well.  They are hoping that she will be able to leave tomorrow.

Noemi (pronounced Noe-em-mee) is doing alright.  We've been told all the tests look good.  She's been wheezing/grunting some, which may just be her thing for this first day or two or may be her working out some respiratory things.  We don't know yet, but no one seems that worried about it.  (Maybe they are just good re-assurers- but I'd like to take them on their word.)

Katy & Noemi

Katy did great.  Contractions started at 7am.  After seeing where they went, we decided that we needed to go to the hospital, so I ran around making sure we had everything, throwing the 2 car seats, bases, and instructions (we hadn't gotten there yet) in the car.  We were at the hospital by 9:15am.  She started to push at 11:30.   Babies were born at about 12:05pm.   Katy's been walking around between the NICU, our room, and the nursery this afternoon and evening.  We feel very lucky. 

Much love to you all.  Thanks for all your thoughts, love, and support.
