Meet Alora and Clarity


After about 24 hours in labor that was not progressing, the doctor did a C-section and at 3:53 pm Alora Taryn was born at 5 lbs, 7 ounces and 18 3/4 inches, on  Thursday, August 3rd , Clarity Arlen was born  at 3:54 pm, weighing 5 lbs. 13 ounces and 19 inches in Reston, Virginia.

Christin with Clarity on the 4th

Christin has been in a lot of pain due to the C-section, so it will take some time until her belly is pain-free.  The twins are so sweet.  Alora cries more than Clarity who can sleep through anything it seems.  At their first bath on the 4th, Alora cried and Clarity just relished the warm water.  Joe is the doting Dad, feeding and changing diapers.
