Introducing Carter and Brandt!!

Big News!!!! Carter John Groen and Brandt Roger Groen made their arrival even earlier than the scheduled c-section on June 8th at 37 weeks. The boys were delivered by cesearean on May 26th at 5:16 and 5:17 pm when I was 34 6/7 weeks pregnant. Carter weighed 5.2 lbs and Brandt weighed 5.2 lbs.

Even though they were so early, their lungs were fully developed and neither needed oxygen. The have quickly learned how to suck/swallow/breathe in the past few days and are hardly needing formula now (they couldn't go straight to the breast since they were so premature and had to learn how to eat first). I was released from the hospital yesterday and we hope the boys will be able to come home sometime this week!
