Last Thursday my friend Laura had her twin boys.
They were born in Stratford with one weighing 5lbs.15oz, and the other weighing in at 5lbs.13oz. The names of the boys are Tate Bradley, and Jack Richard.
On Friday Stratford let her and Tim take the boys and travel back to Listowel hospital so that she was closer to her daughter Addy, and to her family and friends.
Curt and I made a trip up to the hospital on Saturday afternoon and meet the new additions to the Leader clan. They are so adorable. I have never held a baby that small before, and Curt did not even attempt to (he really does not do that well with newborns).
The doctors told Laura that it would be 6 weeks until they would find out if the boys would be identical twins or not, but I am pretty sure that they will not be. You can just tell my looking at them that they have some many feathers that are nothing alike. Tate has a big, round, chubby face, and Jack's is long and thin. Jack has lots of hair, and Tate has barley anything. Tate has great big eyes, and Jack's are just normal. We will have to see if these features change any, but my verdict will be that they will not be identical.
I will post the pictures of the boys tonight.
Mom and babies are doing extremely well, and I am sure by know Laura is ready for about 2 days worth of sleep. They will be spending the next 3 weeks are her parents house so that her mom can help her out with the boys, and with Addy, but then after that the happy family of 5 (with 3 kids all under the age of 16 months) will be back in their house, and ready to get back to normal routines (but really, will anything be normal for their family again, probably not!!!!!!!).

Sandi, I must correct you. You have held a baby that small because that is how big Hayleigh was. I can't imagine that she had two of them! Best of luck to her, she will be busy.
That just goes to show you how quickly you can forget the size of a child when they are first born. They grow up way to quickly!!!!
