Announcing the two newest Christensens!!!

Yesterday afternoon turned out to be very eventful for our little family. At 2:59 pm, we welcomed Tanner Ralph Christensen to our family, followed by Reid John Christensen at 3:12 pm.! To our amazement, and to the amazement of all of the nurses, the two newest Christensens came in both weighing 5 lbs. 13 ounces and both measuring 18 3/4 inches--the exact same! We are thrilled to have two healthy babies, but it didn't come without a little bit of adventure. To make a long story short, Elizabeth was incredible yesterday! As Tanner and Reid were both head down, the original plan was to deliver both vaginally. Our plans quickly changed! Elizabeth ended up delivering Tanner vaginally only to find that Reid had taken advantage of his newly found space in the womb and had flipped. After a concerted effort by the doctors and nurses to get Reid to turn again, it was determined that an emergency C-section would be necessary to deliver Reid. Everybody went into action very quickly and chaos ensued. Elizabeth was quickly put under with general anesthesia b/c she had not had an epidural and Dad was whisked away with Tanner to the nursery hoping that all would be well. All did turn out to be well and we now have two adorable little boys to join their adorable (and hilarious) big brother along with mom and dad in this little, but growing, family. We feel so blessed! Above are Reid (left) and Tanner (right) still in the nursery shortly after delivery getting aquainted on the outside.
