Marley Joy and Morgan Rae Schrepfer



At 36 weeks 6 days gestation (long enough for mommy), our twins arrived healthy via cesarean section. Marley was first and weighed in at 5 pounds 5 ounces. Her sister, Morgan was born one minute later and weighed in at 5 pounds 15 ounces. They were 18 and 19 inches long respectively. Neal and I were thrilled when the doctor announced that we could take the girls back to the room with us, we got to skip the NICU! Quite amazing really! The first few days were rough, the girls woke up often to feed and the nurses were in frequently to check our vitals. After four days at the hospital we were all released to go home! We are all adjusting to life with a full house! Big brother Turner is not too sure what to think of the babies, he is dealing with the change like any two year old.... for the most part he is being a trooper! More pictures to come soon... when we have time?!
