THEY'RE HERE !

Jane and Elizabeth Butchart were born this morning in Rexburg, ID. Jane: 4 lb 8 oz, 17", born at 8:51 am MST. Elizabeth: 4 lb 11 oz, 18", born at 8:56 am MST.

Actually, I'm not sure that their names will be Jane and Elizabeth, that's just what Trevor and Michelle were leaning toward last time I spoke with them - for now they're just Baby A and Baby B. Michelle said she asked them what their names were, but they just laid there and didn't say anything. I was told that Michelle went to the hospital after her water broke about 4:30 am, and the babies came very quickly afterward - almost no labor (thank goodness for that I suppose).

Though premature, they are both breathing on their own and appear to be healthy, with the proper number of limbs and digits. They made it through 33 weeks of development, and will be in the hospital for a little while yet.

Melody is on her way back there (from visiting with Chris and Lorna in Kaysville) and will be there by this evening.
