THE 2 LITTLE BOYS HAVE ARRIVED!

A WEEK OLD

I can't believe that a week has already gone by! The boys are getting visibly bigger & cuter by the day. We love snuggling them, feeling their silky soft hair & skin, & admiring how beautiful and perfect they both are. We feel so blessed to have them in our family!


Joshua doesn't seem to mind the addition of two babies to his life. He has some grouchy moments, like when Mama can't get a snack for him right away since she's feeding two babies, but other than that, he's feeling pretty happy like usual!


THE BOYS' BIRTHDAY: 9/28/11

Samuel Steven Barrett ............................. Benjamin Daniel Barrett
6 pounds 13 ounces ................................. 6 pounds 7 ounces
20 1/4 inches .......................................... 20 inches


Benjamin and Samuel arrived on Wednesday, September 28th at 11:01am and 11:10am after a very short, uncomplicated, induced delivery.


It was worth the wait—39 weeks and 3 days—to have two healthy boys, 2.5 hours of labor, and a super easy delivery. I was happy... still am!


When Ryan got all dressed up in his scrubs and hat to go into the operating room with me, one of the nurses jokingly commented, "Well, you look like you could be a doctor."


The proud Dad!


The boys look similar, but thankfully different enough that we can easily tell them apart. In this picture, Benjamin is on the left and Samuel is on the right.


Our first visitors in the hospital were my parents and Big Brother Joshua.


Joshy was nice to his new brothers. He softly patted their little heads, but he didn't care too much about them. He really came to visit Mama!


My grandparents & aunt came to visit next. They also sent us these beautiful blue roses and lilies, which looked and smelled amazing!


We all came home from the hospital the next day since we were doing so well!


Here's Daddy bringing Benjamin and Samuel home for the first time.


The babies seemed to enjoy their first ride in the car. They fell right asleep.
