We have babies!!

(My mom is dying to share the news, so I'll give you all the short version and post a longer version and a few funny stories later.)

Friday, July 9th, Matt and I became the very proud parents to two adorable little boys!

Lucas Matthew
3:04pm
4lbs 9oz
18 inches

Samuel Steven
3:05pm
4lbs 13oz
18 inches

We found out early Thursday evening that we'd be having a c-section the next day, so it's been a bit of a whirlwind. They did a ultrasound on Tuesday and Thursday and estimated Luke wasn't growing much. Better to be safe, they determined to let him grow on the outside instead.

Surgery went great, and I feel pretty good today. Both boys are in the NICU just happily growing away. Their breathing, temperature, and everything else is awesome, thankfully, even for being born at 34.5 weeks. Hopefully they'll be home in a couple of weeks once we get this feeding business down.

Thank you so much for all the thoughts, prayers, and warm wishes along the way. We couldn't be more blessed.

Love,

Matt, Niki, Sam, Luke Strotman
