Welcome Noah and Max Hadley!

We are very excited to announce that Noah and Max have officially entered the world!  They were delivered via C section and are doing fantastic in their first day.  Emily did a great job of fighting off labor and has spent the last 4 weeks in the antepartum unit enduring various doses of monitoring, drugs and pep talks.  In the end, the boys were ready to come out and meet the world, after nearly 33 weeks of wombtime.


Here is Noah Smith Hadley, weighing in at 4 lbs 1 oz.  He prefers to lounge as his amniotic sac was quite constricting!


Here is Max Manning Hadley, weighing 4 lbs 3 oz.  Max, who had all the space to explore in the womb, is partial to the fetal position.


Here's a photo of Emily and Noah getting some quality mother son time in.

Emily is doing well, but now understanding why people complain about C section recoveries.  She has great support here though (and some decent painkillers), so we're hoping she'll be back on her feet in no time.  In the meantime, we're in no hurry and are just enjoying getting to know our new sons.  Thanks for everyone's supportive texts, emails, calls, etc.
