Checking in...

We arrived at the hospital at 4:30 AM on Thursday 9.24.09  for a scheduled induction.

Of course we had to take one last belly pic…

Now, time to model the hospital attire!

Gary donned his garb when we headed to the OR for delivery.

‘Twas the night before, when we were a family of 4!

We are home and surviving! We are so in love with Finley and Zane and  are just trying to adjust to our new wonderful life!

I want to thank Sarah and Amy for doing a fantastic job of blogging and notifying friends and family of all the adventures from the hospital!  I have just today read all the posts and am so impressed with all of the updates! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first time I have turned on my computer in 6 days…I will hopefully get a couple of posts in today with pictures galore! I will be working on the birth story as well.

We took our last family of 4 picture the night before we left for the hospital. They are already a great big brother and sister!

A Few More Pictures...

These are just a few more from Aunt Sarah's camera. The new and improved Perez family went home from the hospital yesterday and spent their 1st night at home last night! The babies are doing great, but no one else is getting much sleep, as you can imagine! Finley and Zane had their 1st pediatrician appointment today, and I will have to get more details on that from tired Mommy and Daddy later, but they both got great reports!

Here is Suzanne before the birth (but after the epidural!)...

Finley and Zane's Nursery Debut

For all the crowd waiting at this hospital, this was our first introduction to precious Finley and Zane! The narration in the video is mostly done by the proud grandmothers. :-)

P.S. This is a post from Aunt Sarah, and I will try to get try to get some more pictures up soon! We have been taking them with so many different cameras, and this is all that I had on mine!

Happy Birthday sweet babies!

Waiting...

Guest post from Amy! Here is the scene in the waiting room! :)

C Section!

Doc came in and just made the call for a c section. We should have babies very soon! Since Suz checked in at 4:30am this morning, we are thinking she is probably pretty tired from pushing and will be happy to just get these babies in her arms!
