Wonderful news - the boys arrived on Thursday, 1/10! After 35 weeks and 5 days, 40lbs of weight gain and lots of discomfort and preparation, we couldn't be happier. Big sister, Gabriella, will first be able to meet her new little brothers tomorrow... but we're sure she'll think they're pretty neat too.
We've also FINALLY decided on names.
Names and birth stats are:
Rocco Alexander Martino: Arrived at 8:26pm, 5lbs, 13oz and 19.5 inches
Matteo Tate Martino: Arrived at 8:33pm, 5lbs, 9oz and 18.5 inches
Mom and babies are healthy and doing well. Jodi's labor and delivery was actually much easier than it was with Gabby. The plan is for everyone to go home on Saturday.
I'm sure we'll be very busy in the coming weeks getting adjusted to having two newborns AND a 2 year old, but we'll try and return emails and calls as time permits. Oh, and we also still have some loose ends to tie up with finishing work at the house... lovely.
Feel free to swing by casa Martino 2.0 if you're healthy and have not been around anyone who's sick. It's unfortunately RSV and flu season and the babies will be very prone to viruses since they are premature and low birth weights.

We are so happy for you guys and can't wait to see some photos of Matteo and Rocco! We wish we didn't live so far away so we could come over and give you some help. Glad to hear your parents are there to help out Jodi.
Hugs and Kisses to all of you!
Scott, Laura, Meredith & Natalie

Hello Jodi and all,
I can't believe we now have so much in common. Our twins were born on the same day as yours three years ago, and from what I hear you and I had somewhat similar birthing stories. Two of our children carry the same names...so please let 's try to talk a little when you have a hold of the beautiful madness. Sending you lots of strength, energy and patient awareness fo each moment! Love, Iberty
