Hi everyone!





Hello world! Daddy fell asleep at his computer while holding us, so we thought we'd take a minute to introduce ourselves. We're Kayla and Megan Vogts, born at 7:52 and 7:54am respectively on October 9, 2008. Kayla weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 17.5 inches long, and Megan was 5 lbs 12 oz, 17 inches long. That's Kayla on the left and Megan on the right, and if you can't tell the difference, that's OK, neither can mommy and daddy. They're keeping labels on our hats to tell us apart. We're both doing great, as is our mommy. We're officially one week old this morning, and believe us, it's been a heck of a week!

It was pretty nice in mommy's belly; to be honest, it was getting a little cramped. So it was a relief when the doctors brought us out, and we got to meet daddy for the first time!



Mommy and Daddy are nice, but some of the doctors and nurses were mean to us! They poured water all over us, and it made us cry!



But after that it got better, because we got to meet Granny Vogts, Grandma Bingham, and Aunt Karen! Grandpa Vogts was also there; he couldn't come hold us because he was sick, but we yelled extra loud so he could hear us.







We had lots of other visitors too! Cousin Nathan came by, Uncle James and Aunt Tricia, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Chris, several friends of mommy's, daddy's boss Penni, and probably several other ones we're forgetting about. Aunt Linda also came by, with Cousin Jordan and Jalen.







We spent most of the time in the hospital eating and sleeping, and being wrapped up like burritos.



But finally mommy got better enough that they let us all go home! We're embarrassed to admit that we slept pretty much the whole way home. Those carseats are comfy!



So far this week we've been to the pediatricians, who said that we were looking good, and that the slight risk of jaundice we had wasn't anything to worry about. Since there's two of us, we've decided to take it easy on mommy and daddy, and haven't been too fussy or demanding about anything, but don't worry: if they start going soft on us we'll get them back in line.

Daddy got a new camera right before we were born, and we heard him say that he's going to use this blog to post lots of pictures, and keep track of how we're doing/growing up. If I were you, I'd bookmark this site and check back lots. Hopefully daddy will figure out our routines soon and do a better job keeping our blog updated, so we don't have to take matters into our on hands.
