Babes of babes

Welcome Henry Edsel and Abriella Celeste!

Karyn and Jen - my former Grove Street roomies and best friends - were both due to give birth this fall. 
Jen in late-September (with babe no. 1) and Karyn in late-October (with babe no. 2).
Fittingly close due dates - like their mamas birthdays.

Much to everyone's surprise, Karyn's little lad opted to leap-frog Lady Di into pole position.
On September 7, 5:39 p.m., Henry Edsel came into the world weighing 4 lbs. 1 oz. and was 17 inches long. He was only 32 weeks and 3 days gestational age, giving all of us quite a scare. But 27 days later, I am happy to report that this little fighter is doing just fine.

Not one to rush, last Sunday, September 30, at 10:16 p.m. Jen, with her husband David,
 welcomed 
Abriella Celeste to the world. She weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 inches long.

I am so proud of both of these fierce mamas. And can't wait to meet their new additions!
