They're here!!!

THE TWINS ARE HERE!!! This post is for my (Sarah's) family in Missouri, Kansas, Arizona and Michigan who are dying to see pictures and requested I get these up ASAP!!!
Kim had a cesarean section yesterday around 2pm...and she did great! (In fact she's already been up and sitting in a rocking chair...that's really good!) So here's mama with her newest little ones. I just can't believe both of those babies were inside of her! (And because you are probably all wandering...mama says they are SOOOO easy to tell apart!)
So let me introduce to you the newest Dawson's! (These pictures are before they've even been cleaned up!!!)
Whitney Anne
Born at 2:11pm
6lbs. 8oz.
19 inches
She came out crying and is definitely the more fiesty of the two. She also loves to suck her thumb. I guess she had that thumb to her mouth as soon as she came out...even had found it by the time they held her up for Kim!

Wyatt James
Born at 2:12pm
6lbs. 13oz.
20 1/2 inches
Apparently, this little guy was lodged way up, sideways, up by Kim's ribs and really had to be tugged hard to get down! He's not quite figured out how to suck, so please pray he catches on quickly. (Nurses say this is VERY common in the "second twin"?!?!?)

Can you tell them apart yet? Hint, the color of the ball on their hats gives it away!
Whitney is on the left, Wyatt on the right


Claudia CANNOT keep her hands off of them. She had to fight Lynae to hold Whitney the entire time there! In fact, we had to take her from the room twice as she threw temper tantrums from wanting to hold them. We've been waiting for these babies for a long time...in fact, her very first sentence was, "Meme, two babies, out! (She calls Kim, "meme.")
So here she is holding her new cousin, Whitney!

From two kids....to FOUR! (Really, Chris, its not THAT big of a family!)

More pictures of the twins to come!

Also, I'm going to post a big update on how Jenny's wedding and Claudia's last round of chemo went...until then, here's a little sneak peak... And I'll leave you with this last photo...someone's learning how to smile!!!!
I love that girl!
