Two Days, Two Babies

On Monday, January 4, we celebrated my dad's 84th birthday at Red Lobster, followed by Cindy-and-Paul-baked-or-just-Cindy-baked-I'm-not-sure yummy cake with pineapple filling, and ice cream. That was a good time.

On Tuesday, January 5, Mialisa delivered Baby Wells. He weighed 6 lb, 15 oz and was 21 inches. He may look a little like Caroline.

I stole these Wells pictures from John and Misa's blog, so if you want to see the originals or some more pictures, go there.

Proud dad.

On Wednesday, Sara delivered Annabelle. She weighed 6 lb, 9.5 oz and was 19-1/2 inches.

On Thursday, January 7, Annie was a little less newbornish, but asleep the whole time we were there. Jared has better pictures that you can probably see on Sara's blog, but you'll have to wait until she gets a chance to post them.

I just have to say, we (Chieko and I) are very happy. For the new additions to our family and for the health of the babies and their mothers. Waiting nine months for babies to be born is a little worrisome, because one never knows whether mothers and babies will be healthy. I know I'm not the only one who worries, since the first news most people give when a baby is born is the baby's gender and that the mother and baby are doing well. We were especially concerned, because Misa was touch and go for a while.

These deliveries are answers to many prayers. And I thank my Heavenly Father for the blessings these two babies are, as well as the eight who preceded them and for their parents.
