Update

Two weeks have gone by and I'm feeling a lot better after my surgery. The first week was pretty hard but I'm up and moving around much better. I know the babies are what everyone wants to hear about, so I'll move on. I LOVE them!

It was so fun to finally have the mystery solved as to if they were identical vs. fraternal. The entire pregnancy we thought they were identical because the technicians could only see one placenta but when they were born, there were actually two placentas right next to each other that were fused together. And with blood tests, they found they have two different blood types. So we have fraternal twins. Just looking at them it's so obvious. They look nothing alike!

Spencer who was born first is our little guy and such a sweetheart. He is so relaxed all of the time and only fusses when he really needs something. He will sit through his twin brother crying in his ear and not even budge. He looks %100 like the Peterson side. So cute and melts my heart.

Tanner is our younger but bigger one. He is a little more high maintenance but still a great baby. I still can't see any resemblance in him with anyone in our family. I keep staring at him to figure out who he looks like but I think he has his own look. He is beautiful.

They love to be by each other. They sleep better when snuggled up in the same bed. I love that they already have a special bond. Here are a bunch of pictures of their first two weeks of life. They are already growing up too fast. Knowing that they are my last babies, I want them to slow down and let me enjoy each stage. They are so sweet and I feel so blessed to have them in our family.

Note: I know there aren't a lot of pictures with Jake. When we got home from the hospital, he had a skin infection on his face. So we kept him away until he finished his medicine. Also, the beautiful blonde is my sister Emme.
