Twins 1st Photo Shoot.
While we were in the hospital, a friend who is a photographer came and took pictures of the boys. If you want to see more of Angella's work go to http://angelladawn.smugmug.com. Tyler was being a pickle so he went with Grandma and each twin at one point was crying and hungry so needed to be breastfed. Through all of that, Angella still took gorgeous pictures and captured some really precious moments of these boys that I will always cherish.

The Birthday was scheduled before it was scheduled.
This week we had another little blessing come to us or one added onto our two that arrived last week. We found out that Xander and Liam were born on Eric's father's birthday Sept 13th. Eric's father passed away 21 years ago when Eric was 10 years old. I always remembered the date of his passing because we try to go see his grave and because it is such a very emotional day for Eric, but I did not remember when his birthday was. This year with the craziness that has been happening in the last couple of months, Eric forgot his father's birthday too. I was also the one who scheduled the c/section for this day. I was not keen on the twins being born on the 13th of the month because eventually they would have a birthday on Friday the 13th, but it was the only day that the Dr. could perform the surgery. I guess this date was meant to be.
When we found out that Liam had bladder and kidney problems before he was born I always thought of Eric's father as watching over him, and Xander, of course, but especially Liam. I knew Liam's middle name would be Calvin after his grandfather before we had decided on his first name.
I truly feel that the day of their birth was meant to be which makes me feel even more humbled that they were meant to stay in my womb longer and that my hard work at being on bed rest was for this purpose.
Now we will never forget the birthday of Xander, Liam, and Calvin West.

Welcome Xander and Liam
A week ago our family was blessed with two precious baby boys. Xander James West was born at 9:14am and Liam Calvin West was born at 9:15 am. on Sept 13, 2010 via c/section. Xander weighed 6lbs and 19.1 inches long. Liam weighed 6lbs 12 oz and 19.3 inches long. We feel so very blessed that they arrived at their scheduled time and not any earlier. It was a very trying pregnancy, but so worth it. Eric and I keep saying everyday that we cannot believe that these are our baby boys.
