Our Twins are FINALLY Here!

After 41 [name_m]LONG[/name_m] months, my gorgeous baby boys finally arrived last night. [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] came first at 7:32, and was followed shortly by [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], who arrived at 7:35. I feel so blessed to finally have my babies!

[name_u]Elias[/name_u] is the name of my DH’s late father, so it seemed perfect. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] A’s middle name is also DH’s name, so he is definitely named after his side of the family.

Coming up with [name_u]Jude[/name_u]'s name wasn’t as easy as it was with [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] comes from both my father and brother. His first name, however, took a very long time to come up with. We both knew we wanted a name that started with a J to honor our mothers, who are both named [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]. For a while, DH was adamant that he wanted to name [name_u]Baby[/name_u] B “[name_m]Jack[/name_m].”

However, a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled across the name [name_u]Jude[/name_u] on this site and fell in love. DH was unsure of it at first, but after we saw him, we just know he is our perfect little [name_u]Jude[/name_u]!

Congratulations!! I love the meaning behind your names. Were you trying to conceive within the 41 months before your twins or was that a typo for weeks? If TTC, that is quite the journey!!! Either way, congrats again (times 2!)

Oh my goodness! What a typo :smiley:

I meant to say 41 weeks. However, we had a long journey with TTC (about 8 months of trying). We actually miscarried three times before conceiving these little boys and are so incredibly thankful for our babies.

I’m so sorry to hear of your miscarriages! What a blessing to have these littles here with you now & the worrying can be over :slight_smile: 8 months isn’t that long of a journey (unless you’re in the middle of it !) trying to conceive, especially in comparison to 41 months, so at least there is that!!
Congrats again

I’ve never heard of twins being born at 41 weeks before, very rare I believe.

Congratulations! [name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_m]Graham[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] are both so, so handsome.

What beautiful names for a beautiful journey!

Congratulations, beautiful names too.

Congratulations! The names go together beautifully!
