Merry Christmas everyone! As you can tell by the earlier post, our precious little baby girls arrived on December 22 and have been the best Christmas gift we could ever ask for. Things have been absolutely crazy, but I just wanted to post a couple of pictures and introduce you to our newsest additions. Labor went well and I was able to deliver both girls without a C-Section! Yeah! There were a few minor complications, but all in all, I could not have expected it to go any better. I know that I was being watched over and protected throughout the whole process. They are the sweetest, tinest little things and we are loving them so much already. Their big sisters love them and are so eager to help. I could write about it all forever, but I am quickly learning that there really is NEVER a dull moment in our home anymore. (As if there ever was). I have hungry babies calling and so off I go. But first . . .
Introducing:
Annie Caroline Allred
Born 8:39 PM
Weight 5 lbs 11 oz
18.75 inches long
She is perfectly beautiful and doing really well. She was the first baby born and surprised us with a healthy cry and a very high Apgar score. She is doing great. She just seems so teeny when we are used to almost 9 lb babies!
Born 8 minutes after her sister came our precious
Born 8:47 PM
Weight6 lbs 2 oz
19.5 inches long
She impressed us with an equally high Apgar and insured their spot in the regular nursery- no NICU! Aubrey has a sweet disposition and loves to look around. We can tell her apart from her sis by the shape of her head and her perma -scrunchy face! She is sweet.
We just love these girls and could hold them and kiss them all day! They truly are a miracle and an amazing blessing that we are so grateful for. Wish us luck as we figure out how to make this all work in our family! We are excited and up for the challenge!

Oh Katie they are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I am so amazed by your wonderful family and how happy you are! You are so blessed, keep up the good work. Seeing this post made me really miss you guys... :( Maybe we will see you in May
KATIE,
Wow!! They are so sweet, both of them! I love their names -- Annie and Aubrey, so cute. And I know you are thinking they are small, but they are NOT! They are almost as big as my babies are as newborns, and I can't believe you had both of them inside of you at the same time. Amazing. They are so big for twins, and so healthy! What a blessing. Congratulations and Merry Christmas!
Katie, I can't look at them without crying!!! They are absolutely perfect and beautiful...just like their mommy!! I love you and congratulations!
OK...Can I just say that I can't wait to come and hold both babies, but especially the one you named after me...I am so flattered:) They are BEAUTIFUL and I am so happy for you guys. Can't wait to see you soon.
Congratulations Katie! Your girls (all of them!) are so beautiful! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you.

What a beautiful family of girls! You are so amazing, we are so impressed with you and your family! Congrats and good luck!
Oh I have been checking your blog like crazy ever since you first posted the pictures. That is amazing you got to deliver without a c-section! Way to go, I can't even imagine birthing two! You are a champ. They are darling little babies and were pretty darn good sizes for twins. I can't believe you had close to 12 pounds of baby in you at the end ;) We will be back in a month to help you guys out with your other little ladies! Congrats again!
Katie,
Thay are so precious and so perfect! I'm sure you'll have so much help--I love all the pajamas:) I know Kami said you were having a hard time w/ names, can't imagine having to come up with 2!! They are cute names and go good with your other names....Good Luck:) I'm so glad they didn't have to go to the NICU.
You are amazing! They are simply stunning! I wish I was there to take lots of pictures.
They are so beautiful!!! And they DO look soo much alike!!! It is killing me that we live so far from eachother. I wish we could be there! I am so so so happy for you. Good luck with everything, and if if gets to crazy and you need to let out some steam, give me a call. :)

Go Katie! You are amazing! I'm so happy they are here and healthy. Gma and Gpa are so lucky to be in the company of all your little ladies. Congrats!
They are adorable! Congratulations, you guys!
Again I am so happy for you. They are darling and look great. I am so glad it is over for you and hopefully you are able to move and breath a little better (was going to add sleep but I just had a brain laps and remembered that you don't sleep with newborns especially two.) :)
Maggie was cute today at church...she was telling Madi about the twins and said, "guess what I had the twins." with a cute smile on her face. My favorite part was that she said "I".
I want to bring dinner this week so I will call you later and find out when is best.
You are amazing and again I will not complain about my baby.
Congratulations! We are very happy that both beautiful little ladies arrived safely and that everyone is enjoying them so much! We wish you all the best when it comes to keeping up with your busy household! And hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
