It is with great joy and excitement that we welcome Madison Yumi Ku'umomimakamae Kawamura and Katelyn Miyoko Ka'ano'ipua Kawamura into our family. Our precious bundles of joy came into this world on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009. Maddie made her debut at 4:04 am weighing in at 4 pounds, 14.4 oz and measuring 18 3/4 inches long. Katie joined her sister at 4:05 am weighing in a 4 pounds 8.2 oz and measuring 18 1/2 inches long. I had a c-section and Toby was right by my side the entire time. Our doctors and nurses and all the staff at Kapiolani Hospital were amazing and made our birth experience wonderful. Toby cut both of the umbilical cords and attended to the girls while they were weighed and cleaned up. After 3 nights in the hospital, we were discharged to come home on Halloween. It's been a great 4 days and we are learning a lot. The nights are difficult for us as we have to wake up every 2 -3 hours to feed the girls---feeding 2 is a lot of work! Toby and I are surviving on little naps throughout the day and lots of help from our moms. Lucy and Leia were introduced to their new little sisters and so far, they are doing great. The girls sleep a lot in between feedings, which is giving us time to get everything organized around the house. We'll keep updating this blog with their progress so continue to check back. Here are some of their first photos:
