The girls are here!

Sion and Hana were born at 2341 and 2342 respectively on the 17th of January. Sion's placenta tore away from the uterine wall and ruptured, requiring an emergency C-section. Sion spent about 3 hours in the NICU getting her lungs suctioned but was fine. Mom and the girls are doing great. They are all adorable and I feel so lucky to have been a part of their birth, even if it was mostly as a spectator. Sachiyo was amazing, as always. I am always suprised at how much faith and strength she has. I love her very much.

The girls and mom will be in the hospital for about 48hrs. More to come.....


Sion: 2341, 17 Jan 09, 5 lbs 12.7 oz, 17.75 inches

Hana: 2342, 17 Jan 09, 6 lbs 9 oz, 19.5 inches
