Meet Second Born Twin (Twin B)

We had trouble coming up with a name for Twin B. I really wanted to work in the name "Arthur" somehow, but informal polling discovered a strong association with a children's television character, not the first great English king. We didn't reach a final decision for his name until we were at the hospital. He was born breech, but I have already told that story so here he is...

Twin B:
Is the bigger of the two
Can be a bit fussy but calms easily
Sleeps quite a bit
Smiles more than his brother
Has lighter hair than his brother
Has a round face
Laid sprawled out under a heat lamp for the first four hours of his life; he looked very comfortable
Had to be woken up after four hours of sleep last night so he could be fed (they say that scheduling is vital to surviving twins)
Loves his mama
Can soak through a diaper within a couple of hours.


Here he is at the hospital on his second day of life (it has been too busy for much more photography). It is a bit out of focus due to the low light, but he is smiling so I couldn't resist:



Peace
