Introducing Elizabeth Love and Tori Savannah in their very first photo shoot debut.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Tori born 2\/5\/08 at 33.5 weeks weighing 5 pounds 8 ounces -??16 days old in this picture.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth born 2\/13\/08 at 39 weeks (?) weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces -??8 days old in this picture.<\/p>\n

Their size appears pretty comparable in pictures but Elizabeth has a healthy solid newborn weight to her.?? They are about 2 inches apart in length and about 3 pounds different.?? :).?? You can feel the difference more than see it.?? Aren’t they cutie pie’s?<\/p>\n

Just over four years ago now, my friend Kristi was pregnant with her first child and I was on the adoption list waiting.?? I kept telling her that we might be sharing a pregnancy but as time ticked by, I had to wonder.?? In December of 2003, we were matched with Ty’s birthfamily and then I KNEW we were sharing a pregnancy.?? Kristi and I discussed that Beau and Ty would be BFFs.?? He was due in April and Ty in May.?? Both boys came early.?? Ty in January and Beau in March.?? Beau is technically older than Ty but Ty was born first.??<\/p>\n

Fast forward.?? Kristi gets pregnant with now third child – Elizabeth.?? Again I wonder if we would share a pregnancy.?? At her baby shower a couple of weeks ago she told me “there is still time”!?? Wasn’t she surprised when I brought Tori home ONE day before she had Elizabeth.?? Tori was born a week earlier but yet again…her daughter is technically older.?? Funny how this keeps happening.?? I was very naughty to my sweet friend Kristi too and I called her on Valentine’s day bragging that I had just had a baby and was in Cold Stone buying ice cream…and what was she doing? (Recovering from a C-section!).?? I knew she would forgive me for a moment of bragging over the ease of my labor and delivery LOL.?? She is very good humored.?? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Kristi brought Elizabeth over on Wednesday so we could see our girls together.?? I could have stared at the two of them all day.?? I put them in the glider bouncer together to get these pictures and they were quite content.?? I love the way my little snuggle bug kept snuggling her head against Elizabeth’s.?? She loves her BFF already!?? Here are the pictures from the above but a bit closer up.<\/p>\n

??<\/p>\n

In the above picture, it appears that lil Miss Elizabeth has chunky baby legs.?? She actually doesn’t.?? She looks pretty tiny in person – BUT Tori just has almost no fat so it makes Elizabeth appear chunkier than she is.<\/p>\n

I had a bit of trouble balancing the color tones of these two.?? Elizabeth is struggling with newborn jaundice so I had to try to take the yellows out of her but when I did that I turned Tori purple!?? Thankfully, Jim just bought me CS3 (just in the nick of time LOL) and I was able to separate the girls and balance them separately getting them closer to their natural tones.???? Man they are so sweet!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
