the twins arrive
Sorry to leave you hanging there on the last post.
After a sonogram at the hospital, it was quickly determined that the twins needed to be delivered. Like within a couple hours.
Before the procedure, I asked my OB the two most important questions a patient can ask…
1. You’ve done this c-section thing before, right?
2. Have you been drinking today?
Once I determined that she had indeed done many, many c-sections and had imbibed no vodka tonics, we went ahead with the delivery.
It was uncomfortable, and a little nerve racking at moments. But in the end, we met our wonderful, amazing baby girl and boy.
The boy is 5 pounds, 8 ounces.
The girls is 3 pounds, 10 ounces.
I’ve only gotten to see them for about 30 seconds because they’re in the NICU. As soon as I can really take a look at them, I promise some names will be confirmed and announced.
Dylan and Summer are apparently excited about their new siblings. Although they may be a hair more excited about their new trampoline.

Congratulations Kelcey, from one twin mama, to another.
Glad you were able to update.
Wishing you a swift and comfortable recovery and that the twins’ stay in the NICU will be a short one!

Congratulations! How fabulous! I propose a blog contest to let two lucky readers name the twins! Come on, be a sport, it’s for the blog after all : ) xox
[Reply]
SO glad everything is fine with all of you. It may be a rocky week or two ahead of you, but I’m sure all will be fine. Can’t WAIT for the names.
[Reply]
Congrats!! You are all in my thoughts and prayers I can’t wait to hear their names.
[Reply]
Congratulations! We will be thinking of you all.
[Reply]
Congratulations on babies! I hope they are healthy and you are well, and I can’t wait to hear the names (I’m guessing not Mickey and Minnie, though that would be cool.)
The first time I read this, fast because I was worried, I read that your OB asked you if you’d “done this c-section thing before” and if you’d been drinking, which seemed like a kind of hilarious thing to ask a 34 week pregnant mother of twins. But I went with it. It made way more sense the second time around.
[Reply]
Mazel Tov! Wishing you a quick recovery and lots of joy from the babies.
[Reply]
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You didn’t really just write this after delivering them, did you? I am sure that Summer and Dylan will love the twins as much as their trampoline… I would just not let them put the twins anywhere near the trampoline!!!
[Reply]
….and you still find time to blog….amazing!
Congrats Kelcey – as I said, I’m here for anything you need! Like, if you need more tips on how little boys pee and stuff…
xoxo sister!

[...] evening pedicure and Cosmo to start the unwinding after a long week, our sister Mouthy Housewife Kelcey, decided to instead give birth to twins. Yes, twins. Baby twins. [...]
Mazel tov! Congratulations! Auf wiedersehn-D’OH! Ignore that one.
Welcome to the world Thing 1 and Thing 2!
Hope you’re doing okay Kelcey. Thankfully you packed your laptop like all good bloggers.
[Reply]
The BEST news is that everyone’s fine…the names are not as important as the outcome of the delivery….and we’re all looking forward to seeing those two delicious little babies.
[Reply]
Congrats! A little disappointed you didn’t tweet throughout the birth, but I guess it’s not about us, is it?
Best wishes to you & the babies!!
[Reply]
Big congrats!
If you need any help with NICU details, lemme know. As you know we spend 5 weeks there.
[Reply]
I don’t think anyone’s congratulated you yet, so let me be the first.
We also spent 5 weeks in the NICU, so please let me know if you need any advice. Ask as many questions as you can, take notes if you need to, and as crazy as it sounds, try to get some rest and heal while they are there. You’ll need your strength when they come home. Congrats again! So exciting!
[Reply]
Congratulations, Kelcey! Wishing you and your family everything wonderful.
[Reply]
Congratulations to you all!!!!!!! How exciting… Wishing you all health and happiness!
[Reply]
Kelcey – that’s wonderful. It’s hard to have to leave them in the NICU. I had to do it with my second, but soon it will be a distant memory.
[Reply]
Congratulations to the new Mama of 4!
[Reply]
Brilliant news! Congratulations!
And, well, hey. it’s a trampoline. Who can blame them for the excitement?
[Reply]
Oh my gosh! Congratulations, and double good wishes being sent to you and your family of…6!
[Reply]
Congratulations!! Lots of love, good health, and best wishes to all of you.
[Reply]

[Reply]
I am tearing up. I am terribly sorry you had to go through that scare, and I am so thrilled that those two precious babes have arrived that you all so desperately wanted.
Congrats to you all, I hope you are healing quickly. Sending huge love to you and your beautiful family.

I knew I was going to miss this… I have been a bad, bad reader for a week or so. So it looks like I’m the 100th commenter (literally – I see 99 above me – I think that means I get a prize or something, right?) But better late than never…. Congratulations! Twins are amazing and exhausting and one of the best things that ever happened to me. I couldn’t be happier for you.

OMG!! I am sooo beyond happy for you!!! CONGRATS!!! CONGRATS!!!
