Surprise Babies

Darin and I have decided to become foster parents again...today 4 month old boy/girl twins were placed with us. This is a "long term" foster placement. There is some possibility that these babies will become available for adoption but for now, for our own sanity, we are viewing this as a foster placement only.

The babies names are Peytine (girl - pronounced Pay-ton) and Elijah (boy). They were born May 7th of this year so are almost 5 months old. They were born premature at almost 35 weeks and are very healthy and developmentally on target but a little small compared to a full term 5 month old.

We found a zip lock bag with several professionally taken photos of the babies in their diaper bag so it's nice to have a pictoral history of them. I scanned in a few of the photos for your viewing pleasure. Also - we took a few pictures tonight and they are below as well.

We'll share more as things progress but wanted to get this update out tonight for those of you that are anxiously awaiting pictures.

They are fairly close to newborn in this photo:



Here is Elijah:



And Peytine:



These are fairly recent pictures of the two of them together:




Here is a picture of Darin and Elijah in one of those happy full baby tummy moments!



Here is Peytine after she finally fell asleep in the Moby Wrap:



And here is one of me with both of them - you can tell that Elijah is a bit bigger than Peytine:
