Not my twins, but close!

On Friday night, my sister Brooke had her twin boys. They were born by c-section at 36.5 weeks (one was breech--he had been head-down and then turned back the wrong way). Austin was about 7 lbs 4 oz and Isaac was 5 lbs. 11 oz. I went up to the hospital yesterday with my mom and took these pictures. They are so incredibly precious. It was kind of surreal, holding one and then the other and thinking that I've got two of my own coming. Also very interesting to talk to my sister about the difference in recovery from a c-section since I've done all mine the old-fashioned way. Hooray for Brooke and Shawn and their boys!

So darling! That sort of "takes me back" about three years.

Congratulations to your sister and the whole family. :)

They are so precious. Congrats to Brooke and Shawn. You should move in with them and see what the first month of life would be like with twins.

Ooh! Mom said you had the best pictures. I can't wait to meet these guys! I keep imagining them whooping it up with Emma in the "Turner Girls" line in heaven. And what they could all probably tell us about your two and then, the wonderful things I'm sure Grandpa taught them. See, I have my own strange ideas of pre/post earth life.

So darn cute. There is something so fun about a brand new baby and even cooler with two brand new babies.

They are so cute! It's got to get you a little excited (or scared) to have twins. My sister had twins a few months ago and named them Issac and Alex. So ironic
