Introducing... the Perpetua Boys

Well the Perpetua boys are here!!!  On July 27th at 10:34pm and 10:40pm respectively, Austin Laird (Tank- 7lbs 3oz) and Tyler Joseph (Dozer- 5 lb 9oz) were born.  I was induced early Tuesday morning, and after a short labor (a great epidural), and some pushing, the boys made their grand entrance into the world.  In one short week, our lives have completely changed, and the boys have taken officially over...sometimes I feel like I was run over by a Tank and a Dozer!

Between late night feedings, constant diaper changes, and soothing, Joey and I have really gotten to know and love these two little peanuts.  They already have very different personalities.  Tyler is our little comedian.  He keeps us laughing with his over the top expressions and furrowed brows.  Austin is our little pooper- no seriously... that boy can clear a room.  On a recent trip to the doctors office- in one half hour, we had four poopy diapers between the two, and Austin farted straight for about 30 seconds.   Fortunately the doctor had a good sense of humor, and laughed through the entire fart.  Poor doctor- we left her office smelling like a rotten egg. 

I could tell story after story about the boys, but I think the best way to summarize the past week is in photos... so here it goes...

WOW WHAT A WEEK!  Both Joey and I are so blessed.  We are both completely and utterly overwhelmed with love.  I cannot even believe the amount of love I feel for these guys.  It is simply indescribable.
