What a day!

The Deuce has arrived! Oliver Swenson was born Jan. 21 (6 lbs 14 oz, 20 inches), and his twin brother Finlay Walter (6 lbs, 11 oz, 19 inches) was born at exactly the same time - both equally beautiful. Mom is exhausted, but otherwise she’s doing very well. We couldn’t be happier parents.

7:45 am - Dana's waters broke
9:00 am - Arrived at hospital; checked into Room 559
9:30 am - Epidural
9:45 am - Rushed to the OR for an emergency C-Section because Oliver's heartrate dropped to 90 bpm
10:00 am - Narrowly averted a C-Section because Oliver's heartbeat raced back to 12o bpm
1:00 pm - Moved back into Room 559 from the OR
3:50 pm - 10 cm go time; Dana began pushing in Room 559
4:30 pm - Moved back to the OR for delivery
what I have the energy to share right now. Lots of firsts, lots of love. We're beyond in love.

Those are some big boys!!!

Way to go Dana!!! Walker, if I could make a suggestion, make sure you are around for the circ's. You don't want to miss their first rites into manhood...
