Anastasia Llynn Skembo arrived into the world at 7:56 Am Friday January 11, 2008. She was followed immediately thereafter by Amelia Consuela at 7:57. Anastasia was 6 pounds, 2.7 ounces and 17 1/4 inches long. Amelia was 6 pounds, 3 ounces with a striking additional length of 19 inches. Amelia was the one on the left in my womb who had her feet so much in my ribs. Here is a picture of them in the hospital bed positioned about exactly the way they were for so many months. Anastasia's head is a little pointy because of how low she was in my pelvis.
They had a hard time with nursing because of how early they were born. They slept most of the first day and would not wake up to nurse or suck once they latched on.
Their siblings came to visit a couple of times over the weekend. It has been wonderful to see their excitement and love. It makes us a complete family.
The girls arrived home with Mother late Monday afternoon.
I will keep it short for those with short attention spans. I know you only want to see the pictures anyway.
