So many congratulations. I don't even know you, but I've been reading your blog for years. The point is that I got a little teary eyed just now. You have a beautiful family!
Oh. My. So happy for you, you perfect stranger! Love vibes are comin' atchya - hard! We have been TTC #2 for quite some time (and with #1 we tried for even longer!). The drugs I will soon take come with a "risk" of multiples. You make it look terrifyingly wonderful. I'm less scared. Thank you and congrats mama!
Beautiful beautiful babies! Well--the whole family is beautiful. Huge congratulations!! Their names are perfect and set the stage for a magical artistic life.
YIPPIE!!! I am so happy for all of you. Enjoy, as before you know it Archer will be a new father, Fable will be picking out her wedding dress and R&B will be in college... Time has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it.
Gawd those pics are beautiful. The first one of you, wow, serene pure bliss mama. Your mom is beautiful too. The kids are amazing too, obvs. So happy for you.
Congratulations on having a full house! Glad to hear the girls are home.

The photos of the two of them swaddled together? Takes. My. Breath. Away. It's the best baby photo ever, ever, ever, hands down.
Oh my. I'm in love with your family and I don't even know you!
So happy for you!

I must admit that this Internet stranger cried tears of joy for you and yours!
It is so wonderful to see that all are home and well! I can't believe how much I've cried while reading about your babies. Thank you for sharing so much with us. You are a wonderful woman and I seriously love your blog!
I'm so happy for you all! Archer and Fable already look like pros holding those girls. Have so much fun with your sweet family!

Rebecca, how wonderful it must be to have us all cheering you on! Here's one more CONGRATULATIONS, you all are beautiful, and hallelujah you're FINALLY HOME! I just found your blog a couple months ago and was immediately smitten with the fam, your story, and the way your words grace artfully across the page. Also, you have proooobably seen this, as it's a pretty famous twin picture, but I found it yesterday and immediately thought of you, and your lovely girls. The connection between twins is truly fascinating, and I just know you guys are gonna have a blast together! Thank God you were able to carry them for as long as you did, and that they're already as squishy as they are ;) Lots and lots of love and blessings to you all!
They are mad crazy cute. This week is Rosh Hashana (new year for Jewish people) and I'd like to wish you a year of health and happiness - and that the happiness that you feel for your family continuesb to grow and grow, so that what you're feeling is only the beginning of so much happiness.
The picture of Archer with his little sisters made me teary-eyed! What lucky little sisters (all of them) to have such a loving big brother. THIS is why I wanted my parents to adopt me an OLDER brother. I was the oldest but I wanted a big brother so badly!
Congratulations on the twins coming home and having such a lovely, loving family to welcome them.

So happy you are all home together now! I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins and wondering...of course you wish your babies could have come home with you from the hospital but do you think the time they were in the hospital at least helped your body have time to rest and heal from your c-section moreso than if they were home with you and you were taking car of them around the clock? I'm just trying to prepare myself and thought that aspect may be a silver lining?!
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!! I wish there were bigger CAPS for that! I looked like a train wreck after all my C-Sections. Congrats on them both being home. Also the last picture of them snuggled together... PRICELESS! Can't wait to hear more and more and more!
As mama to a 2-year-old boy and 22 weeks along with a baby girl, those pictures of Archer made me cry. He is such a good big brother and your family is so beautiful. Glad you are all home together!
Beautiful, so beautiful. So happy for you, congratulations again.

As the youngest in my family, I can tell you that some of my favorite photos are of all of my siblings holding me when I came home from the hospital. The love is palpable, I feel the same thing looking at these. A beautiful family, indeed!
I might have just cried a little, my goodness, they're so beautiful! congratulations, and welcome home!

Uhhh Rebecca...you have makeup on. And jewelry. And 2 week old twins. !!! You are making the rest of us look bad! :-) Happy times! Congrats! Sleep when you can!
You went from (no offense) giant twin Mommy to absof-ingtabulis in how many days??????? I'm not due for 5 months but you give me hope... Babys are angels and Fable and Archer just make the picture complete. Thank you for sharing your journey!
your babies are delicious! and archer is so sweet.

Seriously the most beautiful pictures ever. Its heart warming to see. I can only hope to have what you have one day. Also, you look amazing. All of you do.
Like so many others--I know I'm a total stranger, but I got all misty-eyed for you and your beautiful (and suddenly quite big!) family. I love the double swaddle. It *almost* makes me wish that I, too, were having twins. You are a zillion kinds of blessed.
You have such a beautiful family. Archer's heart never ceases to amaze and inspire.
Just thought I'd mention this since it's what I do (though unfortunately far away in NYC)... you should check out an infant massage book/dvd. It's been shown to help premature babies gain weight and develop more quickly. And it's something easy to incorporate into your routine and to have the older kids help with.
I am so happy for you. My little Thora is a whopping 6 months old this week. She also spent time in the NICU, 9 whole days and you just brought me right back to her homecoming. Tears, overwhelming joy and all. Congratulations!
an unsolicited pep talk: 1) you look amazingly good. 2) double swaddle? kill me with cuteness. 3) I am so impressed you've managed to blog at all. I have sympathy for "real" bloggers, because I just have a simple run of the mill family blog, you know, one that's not producing income or anything like that, and I still find it hard to make time to update it for friends and family to view, even though it means a lot to me to keep up with it, because I really value recording memories. And I only have one 7 week old baby (and two older kids) to care for, not twins! Anyway, my hat's always off when bloggers like you, Dooce, DesignMom, etc. seem to keep up with posting in what I know to be one of the most hectic, sleep deprived times of life. So good job, and know that if you need to give yourself a break, it's okay. We'll all still be here when you pick up again.
double-baby-burrito has to be the most adorable thing I have seen all day. Possibly all week, except, oh, you posted some other equally adorable things. Also, Archer is the sweetest boy ever.
Love the baby updates!! Happy you are home in your nest, enjoy!! Love the twin swaddle that takes mad skills. Are you getting any sleep? The hospital bed still looks like a family favorite!

Yay! I know that it must be weird to get these comments from total strangers, but (in the most not-creepy way), I feel like I know you and I am so very happy for you and your family. I was rooting for the ladies to come home. Hurrah. Everything and everyone is in their place. : )
How wonderful! You must be over-the-moon to have your littlest girls home! Nothing could be sweeter than the whole family being together. So beautiful :) xx
Hooray! I am so happy to hear that you are all home together. Archer and Fable must be ecstatic about having the babies around 24/7. Congrats to you all.
I'm so happy to hear that Beautiful Boheme and the Very Lovely Reverie are home! They are absolutely gorgeous. Great that the family is all together now. xo

You are incredible. How can anyone not appreciate how freaking AMAZING the human body is? It has been beyond cool to see your transformation, from the post about your anniversary, to that belly, to now. It doesn't seem possible that you look so small/peaceful/not exhausted when two humans just came out of you! Thanks so much for sharing.
I know you have had a million comments and I am sure you don't get a chance to read them all...but I just want to say that the first pic in this post, of you and the girls, brought tears to my eyes. And I'm not really that kind of person who gets teary unless I'm super-hormonal! You look great and the girls look great and you handled this whole twins pregnancy with such grace and extreme humor - and I am so, so happy for all of you. xo
Your family is adorable. I especially love photos of Archer with the new girls. It makes me feel happy at the thought of having another when my oldest is six or so.
I don't have twitter, but if you are still looking for small blogs in the wee hours of the morn, try:

or my own shameless, blunt ramblings over at www.autumncanter.com. We both have a Sage!
Oh my gosh...the picture of Archer with the girls had me in (pregnancy induced hormonal) tears. :) Congratulations and welcome home - even if it is only for 9 months. I can't wait to see what your new house will look like. :)

I have been a lurker in your life for what seems like forever. Today, however, I break the silence to say that my heart is huge for you. Bursting. Splitting open with total joy over your awesomeness and the beautiful, amazing thing that is your family. Thank you so much for your honesty and openness in sharing your story with far-flung friends. Tonight, in Chicago, I have tears of joy for you and your babes, new and older. Hugs and fist bumps from a friend you have never met.

Yay! I know that it must be weird to get these comments from total strangers, but (in the most not-creepy way), I feel like I know you and I am so very happy for you and your family. I was rooting for the ladies to come home. Hurrah. Everything and everyone is in their place. : )
aw! I'm so incredibly happy for you and your family! It must just be so lovely to be home!
LOVE the twin burrito! So glad you are all now together~

How wonderful! You must be over-the-moon to have your littlest girls home! Nothing could be sweeter than the whole family being together. So beautiful :) xx
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Hooray! I am so happy to hear that you are all home together. Archer and Fable must be ecstatic about having the babies around 24/7. Congrats to you all.
You have a beautiful family! I am so happy that everyone is together, under one roof!
P.S. Archer = Awesomeness.
I'm so happy for you guys. Enjoy that beautiful family of yours.
I'm so happy to hear that Beautiful Boheme and the Very Lovely Reverie are home! They are absolutely gorgeous. Great that the family is all together now.

Wow. Total total cuteness overload! So glad to see you are all doing so well!
That is the most beautiful picture of a mom two weeks post baby delivery I have ever seen!!
What a beautiful family!!!!
Archer melts my heart!
So very glad to hear it. Look at all those beautiful babes of yours. You are blessed, girlfriend.
They already look much more stylish out of their hospital clothes. Welcome to life all over again!
Having waited 7 long weeks for my full-term son to come home from NICU HELL, I am well aware of the joy you are feeling and I am so very happy for you and yours.
You have a lovely family.
:)
Yay! Congratulations. So glad that R&B are home and close to your family.
You and your new babes look absolutely lovely. Congratulations to your beautiful, growing family. XOXO
Oh my goodness! Congratulations Rebecca on your beautiful daughters. You are a very lucky lady! Love the names. xo
Is it me... ? First picture - where's your other LEG?
Just going Aww... Congratulation on bringing them home! No twin swaddle for us, they honestly looked relieved the punching ended :-)
Yay yay yay! So happy that your family of six is under one roof! Also... lady, you're looking beyond amazing for having just had twins!
Yay for having the whole clan under one roof! I just hope you manage to get a little rest in there somewhere. May the force be with you during this time ;-)
Yay! So happy for you all. They are so lovely and tiny! Love the swaddle together photo, just precious. There is no place like home and the good news is that they are already on a schedule, lucky you:)
So happy everyone's home! It's amazing how much bigger the big kids seem when there are babies around.

Congrats! So beautiful it makes my uterus hurt.
Oh, my. Those photos of the girls all bundled up together is awesome. Love all the photos. Still can't believe you have four kids. TWO MORE DAUGHTERS! Wow.
May God Bless you all! Always and forever, in that grand ol' life of yours. <3
P.S. As others have stated on here: "You look AWESOME!" =D
Beautiful, Beautiful babies! And you look incredible! Congratulations on the homecoming, so happy for your family!
I love Hals face in that pic. You look amazing....so does your mom. Then I got down to the pics of Archer and Fable with the girls and I got all choked up. Gah! You always do this to me!!!
yay! everyone's under one roof now. Congrats! :)
You look fantastic Rebecca. Can't wait to hear all about how you are feeling and the birth story etc.
Congratulations on a beautiful family.
You look wonderfully happy. So happy for you and your family.
oh my gosh, you look beautiful and your babies are ridiculous . Makes me want to have more!
Congratulations to your whole beautiful family!
Oh my gosh that made me cry. You have FOUR beautiful children. I could feel the love through the screen :)
Welcome home to the new babes. You all look so happy and complete. Mazel Tov.
You are incredible. How can anyone not appreciate how freaking AMAZING the human body is? It has been beyond cool to see your transformation, from the post about your anniversary, to that belly, to now. It doesn't seem possible that you look so small/peaceful/not exhausted when two humans just came out of you! Thanks so much for sharing.
I know you have had a million comments and I am sure you don't get a chance to read them all...but I just want to say that the first pic in this post, of you and the girls, brought tears to my eyes. And I'm not really that kind of person who gets teary unless I'm super-hormonal! You look great and the girls look great and you handled this whole twins pregnancy with such grace and extreme humor - and I am so, so happy for all of you. xo
Your family is adorable. I especially love photos of Archer with the new girls. It makes me feel happy at the thought of having another when my oldest is six or so.
I don't have twitter, but if you are still looking for small blogs in the wee hours of the morn, try:

or my own shameless, blunt ramblings over at www.autumncanter.com. We both have a Sage!
Oh my gosh...the picture of Archer with the girls had me in (pregnancy induced hormonal) tears. :) Congratulations and welcome home - even if it is only for 9 months. I can't wait to see what your new house will look like. :)
Congrats of course! But also.... You are so dang skinny!!!
I have been a lurker in your life for what seems like forever. Today, however, I break the silence to say that my heart is huge for you. Bursting. Splitting open with total joy over your awesomeness and the beautiful, amazing thing that is your family. Thank you so much for your honesty and openness in sharing your story with far-flung friends. Tonight, in Chicago, I have tears of joy for you and your babes, new and older. Hugs and fist bumps from a friend you have never met.
