The girls are here!

Monday afternoon our two girls were born at Banner Desert at 2:31PM. Abby weighs in at 6 lb 7 oz and 19 inches. Her sister Maddie weighs in at 5 lb 14 oz and 20 inches.

The girls were 37 weeks and 1 day along. They have no issues to speak of and are sleeping soundly in the room with us as I type this. Both have about the same amount of dark hair. Both are not technically identical, but very obviously sisters with many similar features. We couldn't be happier.

Both girls and Mom are doing great. We were "scheduled" for Friday at 10AM, but these 2 proved that we actually can't plan everything and decided today was the day.

Though the 3 girls may go home Thursday or Friday after turkey dinner, Thanksgiving came 3 days early for the Hansen's!
