Our boys arrived last night. Miller at 10:52 pm, weighing in at 5 lbs. 11 oz. and 19.5" in length. Charlie joined us at 11:33 pm, weighing the same as his brother and just a half inch shorter.
They are absolutely perfect!
Mandy and I will collaborate on a bigger post about the birth and include some pictures soon, but I wanted to get on here and say a couple of things quickly...
First of all... My wife is an absolute champion! Birthing twins has to be one of the most difficult things in the world. Getting one baby out is a difficult task for most women, but my wife was able to do it twice in about an hour and a half! She is special (always has been), and I love and respect her more than anyone in this world for what she accomplished yesterday.
Secondly, I can not tell you guys how amazed I am right now by the love of our great God! He is immeasurably good and gracious. The path that lead us to what occurred yesterday is so unlikely, yet it is marked with countless displays of His faithfulness to us. It feels amazing to look at my boys and just remember the struggle and all the many ways that he drew us to Himself time after time... We have been abundantly loved and cared for through this entire experience, and I can honestly say that even if the outcome wasn't as great as it actually is, we would still be in awe of God's desire for us to trust him... and we would not hesitate to continue doing it. With that said... Praise Him for giving us so much more! Our sons are an incredible gift.
