Hello everyone! Mira and Anya have finally made an appearance. Sorry for the delay in posting pictures but we have been a little busy. The picture on the left is me in labor, the dr's only let this go on for 40 mins before they stopped my labor and decided to do a c-section. Little Anya's heart rate kept dropping during contractions, so we took no chances. My wonderful mother-in-law took me to my regular dr's appt and they caught my labor and anya's heart rate at the same time.
Mira is above and Anya pictured below, were born on September 11, 2008 at 3:07pm and 3:08pm
. Mira was 5lbs 9 oz but dropped to 5lbs 2oz in the hospital, Anya was 3lbs 9oz and has gained since to 3 lbs 15oz.

Anya relaxing after a feeding. She has no IV, only a feeding tube to finish the rest of a bottle she can't finish.
Mira's coming home from the hospital!
Mira had trouble keeping her body temp up so daddy is doing kangaroo care and keeping her warm at home.
Both girls are doing great. Mira is home and gaining weight, and Anya is expected home in a week or so. We are just waiting for her to be able to take all of every feeding by bottle and she is already keeping her body temp up on her own.

We appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, gifts, and calls. We can't wait to be able to bring the girls for everyone to see and meet.
Love,
The Gilman's ( all 4 of us)
