Friends and Family,
We are thrilled to report that after 8 weeks of hospitalized bed rest, Megan gave birth to two beautiful, strong and healthy girls this afternoon!
Emma Karolina Lund was born at 4:19pm, weighing 4 lbs., 11 oz and is 17 in. long.
Mia Karena Lund was born at 4:20pm weighing 4 lbs., 5.7 oz. and also measuring 17 in. long.
As most of you are aware, due to an elevated risk associated with this sort of twin ("mono-mono" twins) the girls were delivered early (in the 34th week). Since the girls are a bit premature, they will remain in the hospital for some individualized care for two to three weeks. (I just checked on them in the Neonatal ICU and they look great!) Megan is resting comfortably, recovering from her surgery.
Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts, prayers and support! We will send another update soon.
