both complete breech, born at home. baby a into water, b on my bedroom floor.

baby a: 2/14/2011 10:05p 5lb2oz 18"
baby b: 2/15/2011 12:20a 6lb3oz 19"

baby a: rowan bee (rowan was a name i'd held on to during my pregnancy and said that if baby a was truly a red head like i'd pictured her...i'd call her rowan. it means 'little redhead' and is also the name of a tree in ireland. she's also coincidentally the smallest of the two. bee is a name for my sister melissa, whose name means 'honeybee' and my bff bethany, who we call b.)

baby b: lennox aileen (it started to rain just after baby b was born. i suggested to hubs we call her raine and he thought of the song 'here comes the rain again' by annie lennox and suggested lennox...this is a really out of the box idea from hubs so i just had to go w/ it. aileen is his grandma's name.)

 

Congratulations they r beautiful. Nice names, very unique <3

 

Amazing!!!! They are beautiful and I love the names.

 

congratulations! they're beautiful.

 

Congrats on your girls. They are beautiful

 

Beautiful babies, would love to hear more detail on the birth story if you have the time.......

 

Good job!!! Those are two very pretty babies =)

 

Wow, congrats on the homebirth. I would SO love to do that. Your babies are beautiful

 

Congrats again Becky!! I'm still just so excited for you! There is nothing in the world like homebirthing twins. It's an amazing experience. And, as always, I'm a huge fan of double breech stories. After vertex/breech the 1st time this past set shocked us when they decided to both be vertex from 33 wks on. We would have done a double breech homebirth had it come to that. I love that you had the courage, educated yourself about it all and surrounded yourself with knowledgeable people and care providers. It's just a pretty peaceful thing to welcome them at home and then curl up in your own bed. After hearing of so many twin homebirth stories of babies coming 2 hrs apart very healthy and naturally I'm starting to realize that our 10 minutes wasn't much. LOL! So cool that they have different b-days too. Doesn't happen very often. Love the names!! I'm especially found of Lennox...so pretty.

 

wow great job momma! What great valentines gifts!

 

YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET babies!!!

 

Wow! That's just amazing!! Congratulations!!

 

:clapping: Congratulations!!

 

Congratulations! They are very cute and great names too. Wow, both breech and home birth? You are brave. I would like to hear more about it also, as a person who had 2 breech babies and a C-Section and also being a twin myself and knowing my breech twins birth story. I was born on a different day than my twin sister also, same way like yours around midnight.

 

Congratulations! Both look absolutley gorgeous and perfect!

 

:Clap: Congratulations!!

 

Congrats on your girls. I, too, am interested in your birth story if you have a minute (maybe at 3am?!)

 

thank you all so much (hi nikki! can you tell im proud? shouting it from the rooftops, more like it!). i definitely plan on sharing my birth story...its just brewing in my head still. i need to watch the birth vid again for baby a since labor was pretty quick and i want to make sure i get it right!
