Sent the 20D in for service last week, figuring I had PLENTY of time before they arrived... :rolleyes:

It figures they are TWELVE weeks early!!!!! (of course they are girls)

Both were born this morning @ 8:19 & 8:21 EST.

roughly TWO pounds, 6 ounces each. 14" long.

very strange night, VERY sleep deprived.

Everyone is OK & healthy...
Just stopped home to borrow a friend's 300D.
Guess it's better than no camera.

Updates & pics in a few days...

Congrats! Hope the babies are having a lot of time with you and Mom to get them healthy and home. How's the weather there in Philly? Did you also get the bad rains?

Congrats!!!

(I thought girls always kept you waiting....hmmm.) My son was 5 weeks early...we were without a living room as we were having an addition put on our house...not having a camera would have been the least of my worries at the time. ROFL

Very happy for you!

congratulations.. If you think your sleep deprived now, get back to us this time next week.. J/K.. Now, because i'm a twin let me give you a little bit of advice...

1. don't call them 'twins'.. My sister and I hated it.
2. don't make them do everything together.. Can I tell you about the Book club my sister joined and the speed skating lessons I had to do.
3. Have 2 Birthday cakes, 2 sets of candles and sing happy birthday twice...
4. Reserve matching outfits for special occasions.. One time when we were seven or eight we put our pink sunday dresses in the mop bucket with bleach...
5. Don't be suprised if they seem like an extension of eachother.. well into our twenties our family still gets annoyed with conversations that last for hours when neither one of us says anything..

One DW and three girls... you're definitely outnumbered!

Congratulations, and I'm glad everyone's doing well. The 300D is quite capable, and much better than a P&S.
