Introducing Agnes and Bartleby!

OK, those aren't their names. But I'm pretty sure that Liz (or should I say "L") has enough narcotics in her that I could pretty much get approval for any name I want at this point. I'm pushing for the musical combo of Amanda Lynn Player and Ben Joe Player. For now, though, we'll settle for Amelia and Elias Wesley. Or "A" and "E" for the purposes of the blog.

Here they are!
They weigh in at a robust 7 lbs, 12 oz. and 7 lbs, 1 oz. That was a whole lotta baby inside little L. Babies and mother are doing fine. J is enjoying life with Nana ("N") and is completely oblivious to the big life changes that await him in a few days.

P.S. I forgot to add that I love the musical names. And just for the record...Amanda is a darn good name!

CYD said...

They are the cutest babies ever! C-section babies are just so perfect looking. Congratulations guys! I am so glad things went well and they're healthy. Can't wait to see them. And let us know if you need any help during that down week. Ty would love to have Joshua over.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Player is such a fun name to work with. Love the musical names, Dan! Which one is which? (or should I know that??)

Megan said...

I am sitting in a terribly boring class (should I tell you that it's an econ class? - surly it would be so much better if Dan was teaching it.)

Your little darlings just made my evening so much better! Congratulations and tell Liz good work and heal quickly.

An Ordinary Mom said...

I can't believe they are already here! Congratulations times two! And what healthy weights!

Give Liz and the babies hugs from all of us!

Jordon said...

WOW! Congrats on the TWO adorable children. I can't imagine Liz carrying 15 pounds in her tummy. Amazing. (Maybe not the word she would have used, but amazing nonetheless). Best of luck with the transition. ~Jordon & Sara

Cailean said...

They are so adorable!!! I love the names! You must be all so relieved they are finally here, especially Liz I'm sure! Enjoy getting to know them!

Callie Canlas said...

I'll add my congrats too Liz! I don't know when you'll be coherent enough and not sleep deprived to read this, but those are some humongo twinners. You seem to be quite grower of babies...at least 7 lbs each?!?!?! Our girlies were 4lb 14oz and 5lb 2oz respectively. Way to go Liz!!! I'll be in touch when things die down. Congratulations!!!

PJMcD said...

I just have to tell you that I showed the babies to Tyler and he's just saying Ooooh and Ahhh, they're so adorable mommy. And then he said how lucky Joshua is. What a doll!

Unknown said...

Congratulations Dan, Liz and Joshua. They are absolutely perfect. Glad to hear that all are healthy and doing well. Let us know if we can do anything.

Laura Oler said...

Congratulations! They're beautiful, and so big -- wow. I'm glad Agnes and Bartleby got nixed, and they'll probably thank you later that you didn't go with the musical names, but they sure are funny! Amelia and Elias are great. Hope you guys are doing well. Being a twin is great, but I'm not sure raising twins is as fun. I'm sure you guys will be great though. Tell Joshua congrats too.

Spencer & Suzy said...

Congratulations! They look so beautiful!

Momma J said...

HeatherB said...

Anna said...

They both look so perfect! Congratulations! Liz, you are amazing. You're tiny body was made for twins!

Jordon said...

Congratulations!!! Wow--two seven pounders--those are healthy twins. Liz, I hope you are doing well and good luck to you both these first few months. You'll be in our prayers.
