I'm very exctied that the Ragsdale twins are here & healthy. As some of you know, the Ragsdale's, Nick & Kara lost their first son, Peyton Samuel, over a 1 1/2 yrs ago due to Vasa Previa. Kara had to be on Clomid (sp?) to get pregnant w/ Peyton which a side effect is Vasa Previa and possible loss of baby - which happened. If you don't know what Vasa Previa is look on the net, the website might be vasaprevia.org Anyway, so Kara & Nick did IVF (invetro.) this last time. They put in 3 eggs, and 2 got fertilized & attached themselves to the uterus. These twins are so cute! Let me tell you about them... They were born at 7:46am. on 3/15/08 by c-section (The orginal c-sect. date was supposed to be the following Tue. 3/18/08, but due to the mom's high blood pressure, they took them early). Marley Grace was born first weighing 5lbs. 3oz, measuring 18 1/2in. About 30 sec. later, Sam entered the world! Samuel William weighed in at 6lbs. 11oz (with a knack for sports :)), measuring 19 1/2in. Marley has fair skin, light hair, w/ small facial features and Sam has dair hair, dark skin, w/ large facial features. Well, below is some pics that Nick & Kara sent to me. So, enjoy!
