Sunday: we had a disco dance birthday party for Rosie with friends from school and the around the neighborhood.
No better way to celebrate turning FOUR than learning how to limbo:
Tuesday: Rosemary departed for her first overnight with Grandmama and Baba, so that Jason and I could work with the movers to pack up our apartment. She was VERY excited.
Turns out we have a lot of stuff:
Wednesday: the movers came back to pick everything up. Wednesday was also Rosie's actual birthday, January 25th. I'd been keeping my fingers crossed all week that the babies -- who we knew would probably be early arrivals -- would at LEAST not come on her birthday. And we really needed to move, so we were hoping they wouldn't decide to come on moving day either. I'd been wondering whether we were minimizing our odds by doing the move on R's birthday or tempting the fates.
The babies held off...barely. I went into labor about 5 hours after the movers left.
Thursday: 4:14 a.m. Sylvia!
Thursday: 4:16 a.m. Magnolia!
Grandma and Sylvia:
Space baby. This is Magnolia catching some UV rays to help decrease risk of jaundice. Both girls spent time under the lights:
Magnolia with Grandmama:
Rosemary, sweetly excited to spend time with her little sisters. So far she hasn't missed a chance to go visit them, even though it's a long trip up there and she has to be pretty quiet and patient when we're there:
Sylvia, hanging out in her isolette:
Sylvia, up close:
Two! I have no idea how to hold two babies at once, but I'm sure it'll seem like old hat soon!

Wow! To say it was a big week is a bit of an understatement. I should hook you up with my sister-- her twins are 8 months old now and she might have some tips. Good luck! What a great time in your lives, Anne.
Awwww, they are amazing (and so are you!) and that picture of Rosie waiting to see them is so, so sweet.
What a wonderful week. The babies are of course beautiful. And aren't grandparents grand indeed! Hugs to all, especially big sister Rosemary.
