We started the c-section process this afternoon at around 4:20, with things going very routinely.
Naturally, the plan has always been for our Baby A (Penelope Anne) to come out first and Baby B (Lydia Belle) to come out second. But the girls had other plans this evening because, as the delivery process began, Lydia was the first to join us in the world and Penelope came out second.
Lydia Belle Chu born 12.22.2010 at 4:49pm at 2lbs 4oz.
Penelope Anne Chu born 12.22.2010 at 4:50 at 1lbs 8oz.
The are 3 months premature
I (Jonathan) took quite a number of pictures but for now I'm only going to post these two from the birth.
Lydia Belle. She and her sister both came frank breech meaning they were booty first. As soon as she was able to, she began to cry her little mouse cries to tell us she was upset. She was flailing and fighting and very unhappy with being removed so unceremoniously.
Penelope Anne. So tiny!! She fought and flailed also on her way out, crying and making a fuss. The neonatalogist doctor called her "a feisty one!" and was pleasantly surprised by her activity although we werent. It's only proves what Bethany was feeling in the womb. Our Penny is a fighter.
A quick shot of us after the girls had been sent up to the NICU. Bethany did amazingly! The process was so quick and the doctors and nurses incredible. Thank you all at Methodist Germantown Women's and Children's Pavilion.
Thank you ALL for your prayers and thoughts that you have given us over the past 6 months. We are amazingly humbled by everyone that we know and don't know that have interceded for us and our babies. We still walk a precarious path with two tiny babies and we will continue to hope and pray that their little lives will be taken care of by our Jesus.
