The Twins Have Arrived!!!

After 38 weeks that felt almost like 83, Neil Stydom Ericson (8 lbs 2.0 oz, 20.5 in) and Paul Strydom Ericson (6 lbs 4.9 oz, 19.0 in) were born at 10:03 am and 10:05 am on Tuesday June 8, 2010!


Marie is getting ready for her scheduled C-section.


Tim is holding both of the boys for the first time.


Marie is back in the delivery room with Neil and Paul.


Marie can't let go of her beautiful boys.


Karina and Ouma with Paul.


Tim holding the boys after a late night feeding in the hospital.


After 2 nights in the hospital, we were discharged. This was much faster than the 4 nights we spent when Karina was born.

Although this photo might imply otherwise, Neil (left) and Paul are fraternal. We got indisputable proof when their blood types turned out different.
