The Stork did land at our house...

While Heather, Carter, and Barrett were sleeping a few days ago a Stork landed in our yard! This is a tradition in our area announcing to everyone that we have had a baby...But this was a super Stork since he actually delivered babies!!!!

MORE VIDEOS!

Carter was WIDE awake after eating as can be seen here. He has the hiccups which is pretty typical right now.

This is a VIDEO: PRESS PLAY

This is Barrett after his first sponge bath at home. To our surprise he did not like getting sponged off. He was very vocal about letting Mom and Dad know about his displeasure.

God Bless the Bouncer Seats

So this is where the boys love to sleep! They don't really like sleeping any where else, so these bouncers go all over the house with us...

5 Days OLD!

Well I guess if we've gotten this far that means we aren't horrible parents, right? Anyway, Heather continues to get better following her surgery and the boys are starting to get into somewhat of a routine, although its a pretty loose one right now.

We did have our first Pediatrician's appointment today. Usually its a 2 week appointment, but because they were a day premature and so small they wanted to see them early. The appointment couldn't have been better. Their doctor was so pleased with their weight because Barrett actually gained 3 ounces and Carter gained 2 ounces. The Doc seemed pretty surprised by this. He also said their jaundice was looking pretty good and well within acceptable range and didn't need to stick them for further testing. All in all it was a very good visit.

Enjoy some more pictures and excuse us if we don't update them everyday. It seems we don't have much time on our hands these days.

Day 2

This is just more pics of the boys for all of those who can't come by and see them. They are eating well and sleeping very well and are ready to come home when mommy is released. I'm sure they will be excited to see their new digs.

Here's Mom

Heather is recovering well. For those that don't know, she had Carter normally and then Barrett had so much room that he flipped and became breach. The Dr. wrestled with him for well over an hour to get him to turn but it was of no success. Heather had to have an emergency C-section for Barrett, but it went very quickly and very well. All are doing great now.

Here is Mr. Barrett. He was the first to have a poopie diaper, but since Carter has had 3. There seems to be a competition already brewing. Barrett likes to be held really closely and may be Heather's snuggle baby that she's been wanting.

The Boys

Carter can be seen here. He has been behaving very well and seems to like being held by anyone so far.

Welcome to the family!!

We would like you all to welcome Carter Harrison and Barrett Matthew Horn. The were born today July 16th. Carter came first at 2:01 pm weighing 5lbs 14 oz and measuring 20 inches long. Barrett followed at 3:40 pm weighing 5lbs 5oz and measuring 19 inches long. Both babies are doing very well. Heather is recovering and also doing well for such a long day.
