Aidan Michael and Michaela Dawn were born on March 3, 2008 at 9:01am and 9:02am respectively. Aidan was 6 lb 13 oz and Michaela was 5 lb 14 oz. That's a lot of baby for twins! They join big brother Shawn Patrick to make three great kids.
Those were not the names we went into the hospital with. If it was a boy and a girl it was going to be Austin and Cameron. While waiting at the hospital we started the trade talks. Michael wanted Michaela and I had always loved Aidan. Neither of us really liked the other's choice of name. Things changed in the hospital and I told him I would give him Michaela if he gave me Aidan and he said "deal". And that's how we got to where we are. Now, of course, we love both the names.
