Fatherhood has rocked me like a hurricane...

So the wife and I made a trip to the hospital late last night. She was having some bleeding and we thought it would just be a "we'll hold you overnight" type thing. As it turned out the bleeding didn't stop and as a result, we are now the parents of two brand-new, teeny-tiny, little daughters. Pickle was born first at around 3:15pm and weighed 2 lbs 6 oz and Peanut was second out about 15 seconds after her sister and weighed 2 lbs 2 oz. Here are a couple of pictures of the little boogers:

A cute little Pickle sleeping.



Pickle with Mima's hand in the picture for some perspective.



An adorable little Peanut. She was able to recognize my voice and try to reach for me. She also was holding my finger.



Daddy and a little bitty Peanut.



Some exhausted, ecstatic, scared, proud parental units. Mama and Daddy love their little baby girls.
