And Another Chapter Begins

Ohhhhhh my GOD!!

The craziness that has gone on around here lately! So much to tell in so little time!

Today I'll just share the important points and few photos. As soon as I find another spare (but proving to be rare) minute I'll tell you all about the epic birthday and add some more photos 

For now, here's the important stuff you want to know:

• We're all healthy, happy and doing really really well - Olympia does have a touch of jaundice but nothing to be concerned about according to the pediatrician who cleared us to go home a day early

The babies:

• Born: January 21 - Olympia at 1:15pm, Yorgia at 1:20pm
• Olympia: weighed 3kg 330grams (7lbs 3oz) and 49 cm (19 inches)
• Yorgia: weighed 3kg 60 grams (6lbs 7oz) and also 49 cm (19 inches)
• both are gaining weight and getting cuter and more amazing everyday
• they don't have middle names yet...we know 1 for sure, the other we're choosing between 3 options, and we don't know which name to give to which baby yet

Mommy

• I actually went into the hospital last sunday because my blood pressure was a little high
• Tuesday the doctor decided we'd induce labour before situation got dangerous, and besides the girls we already full term anyway at 37 1/2 weeks, and around 2.5kg each (haha, so we thought)
• Wednesday, after 5 hours of labour and the 30 minutes or so of the craziest delivery ever (I'll tell you later, don't worry it's not gross, but it's definitely interesting!), I was holding 2 very beautiful, very healthy, and very big baby girls
• the blood pressure and everything else went back to normal immediately after

Baba

• he hasn't stopped smiling for last week

Eleni

• is a very proud and helpful big sister who gives tons of kisses and hugs but is not so excited that they poop and cry!

Some photos for you:
