Hailee and Maddison Have Arrived!

At long last, Kristy and Chris's twins, Hailee and Maddison, were born early on the morning of March 17, 2008 (which is also Devery's birthday). They each weighed close to 6 lbs., so Kristy was carting around almost 12 lbs. of baby; as you can tell from the first photo (taken on Saturday, March 15), she looked it. (Poor woman!) Hailee and Maddison are fraternal twins and each reportedly looks quite different from the other; Maddison (left) has lighter hair and looks more like her father, and Hailee (right) has darker hair and looks more like her mother. We were all concerned about the fact that the first baby (Maddison) was head-down and the other (Hailee) was breech, but everything went well and no c-section was required. Kristy won't be able to attend the court hearing tomorrow concerning Chris's petition to adopt Nicole (which we anticipate will result in a judgment of adoption), but at least we know now that Chris can be there.
