(The emotion one feels seeing a baby violently expel air from their lungs for the first time, as her body successfully switches from water to air, is inexpressible.)   They weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces, and 6 pounds 8 ounces, for about 13-1\/2 pounds of baby between them.   It was Lori&#8217;s easiest delivery, which was fortunate since this was unquestionably her hardest pregnancy.   <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been fun having twins, our house has had an electric atmosphere ever since they came home.  Unlike my previous experiences with parenting, I now have to spend a moment figuring out which of my kids I&#8217;m holding when I pick one up.   And then I wonder if it matters if I know which child it is or not.  We think they&#8217;re fraternal, but they&#8217;re both so close to perfect they&#8217;re hard to tell apart.   : )<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to our family, Chloe and Clara.
