My girls are already almost a week old! (PIP)

member
Our girls arrived last Thursday, February 27th, at 37 weeks 6 days. They are Lex.ington Eagan (aka Lexie) and Ava.lon Lin (aka Avie).
Lexie was 6lb 7oz, 18.5 in and was named after the street in Manhattan (where we ran away together to begin our quest to reach all 7 continents before the age of 30). Her middle name is from wife's side and her initials spell out a name from my side of the family.
Avie was 5lb 9oz, 18 in and was named after the city in Catalina Island (where we took our first trip together at the age of 18 and then got remarried stateside in 2008). Her middle name is after my brother, and her initials are the same as mine.
Both are healthy and perfect and wife is recovering amazingly well.
We are slowly adjusting to our new way of life, with a 3-hour rotation of feeding, burping, changing, repeat. Lack of sleep is making me loopy, but I am happier than I have ever been!
Me: 31, Wife: 32 (met when we were 15)
Married to my beautiful wife/baby mama on 07/07/07
My brother is our KD

We lost our beautiful Twin baby girls on June 18, 2014. Tavin Sara and Casey Elizabeth were born at 21 weeks gestation and were absolutely beautiful, precious, amazing babies. We miss our daughters every day and love them with all our hearts.
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
