The Twins Have Arrived!!

My sister Meg had a c-section on Thursday, September 3 at 32 weeks!

Myla Jane Rude
3lbs 8oz, 17.75”

Rex Michael Rude
5lbs 9oz, 18”

Both babies are breathing on their own and are digesting well after being fed via feeding tube.

We got a chance to go down and meet them this past weekend. We didn’t get to hold or touch them but it was so great to see them! Meg and Dan have been able to change their diapers and have held them both. At this point, we’re not sure how long they’ll be in the NICU. They’ll have to be able to coordinate their breathing while nursing and gain enough weight. (In some of the pictures they’ve got eye covers on. They were under the lamps for their jaundice.)

Hooray for healthy babies!

Welcome to the world, Myla and Rex!
