A Few More Pictures...

Jessica wants more pictures, so here are two more. First, Miss Gillian:

And Master Colin:

I haven't really had time to take many nice photos yet, but I'm thinking that either tomorrow or Friday we'll have a baby photoshoot.

PSU Defeats Ohio State (with Help from Colin and Gillian)

So, there was a BIG Penn State Football game on Saturday night... maybe you read about it. And though they were only about 26 hours old, Colin and Gillian wanted to do their part to cheer on the Lions. It was a good thing that they had their Penn State hats with them at the hospital so that they could show their Lion Pride.


Uncle David and (soon-to-be) Aunt Mercedes stopped by to meet their new niece and nephew (and as it turned out to admire their PSU apparel).

Lastly, since people have mentioned that there are no shots of the new dad with any of his progeny, here's one from before the game:

By the Numbers

So, Lea points out that I haven't actually posted all of the typical baby information. Well, there's a simple reason for that... I forgot. So here we go:

Colin Xavier Uhl

DOB: 2008/10/24 & 6:09 PM

Weight: 4 lb 7 oz

Length: 18 in.

Gillian Jane Uhl

DOB: 2008/10/24 & 6:13 PM

Weight: 4 lb 8 oz

Length: 18 3/4 in.

And, for those who may be concerned, no cesarean was needed.

A few more photos...

Here's a couple of Mr. Colin sleeping in his bassinet:



And here are two of Gillian with her mom:

A First Picture

Here's an early picture from yesterday:

Colin is in the background and Gillian is in the foreground. This picture is from about two hours after they were born, and they were wrapped up so tight that you couldn't really get a good picture of their faces. More and better pictures will follow, but we're waiting to change rooms, and I don't want to unpack the camera, cable, etc and get into photo editing just in time to move.

Contest Results

Colin Xavier and Gillian Jane Uhl have arrived!

Well, that concludes the voting and the winner is: jessica

While it is noted that Lynn correctly guessed Gillian's first and middle names, we felt that getting one name right for each baby was worth more points. Plus, Fitzwilliam Xavier was actually quite tempting.

Here's a breakdown of the results:

For the girls:

The Babies Will be Coming THIS Week!

I just came from the OB and I'm now an unbelievable 5 cm dilated! Isn't that wild? Anyway, the doctor is going to induce me this Friday instead of next! I go for a sonogram tomorrow morning to check on position and growth, and then Friday morning we'll go to the hospital to be induced. The dr hopes to have babies by late Friday afternoon!

Now, this could all change in an instant since I am already SO dilated. But, Friday at the latest! I am very excited. Michael seems a little freaked out. Wonder why?
