Calliope Ann Buckell and Thalia Lyn Buckell were born, just before 7AM this morning, 5 pounds 8 ounces and 5 pounds 6 respectively. Mom and daughters are hale and hearty and the doctor said it was an easy and textbook delivery.
edit: for those wondering, we’re back home, but the twins are in the special care unit still. They were having trouble keeping their body temperature up and had a touch of jaundice (oompah loompah babies) so they’re working through that. The pediatrician we talked to today is hoping tomorrow we can bring them home. While Monday we were still in a hospital room near special care, today was a bit long because we had to drive down to Lima and spend all day sitting around the room with them, which is a bit tiring (as can be seen with my scruffy ballcap “I’d like to take them home to a more comfortable chair” look I have rocking of late that Emily snapped a picture of…)

Well done, and congrats. And yes, the names are great. I’m the uncle of a Talia, and I do like your adjustment on the spelling.
Life changes now, and for the better, even on the bad days.

Congratulations. The exhaustion will get better, but won’t go away until about age 18
I was just thinking about you two yesterday! now it’s “you four.” congratulations, what wonderful news (and what big sweet healthy babes). I love your name choices. welcome, Calliope and Thalia!
Hurray! There’s more Buckells in the world (and that’s a good thing)! Congrats Emily and Tobias. Your own little muses.
Oh, and sympathies for not getting any sleep for the next 6 months.
And the villagers rejoice!
Mazel tov! And all the other good wishes in languages I don’t actually speak for you and your new girls!
Woot! Congrats to all your girls!
(My sister just had twins. Prepare for a fun and sleepless ride.)
Congratulations to the entire Buckell family! Good times ahead.
Congratulations to you all – many happy days ahead.
Dude, you are Soooo outnumbered!!!! Best polish your spoiling skills! Congrats, and now I’m off to the bookstore to buy your new book.

I forgot to ask, how close to the due date did they arrive?
Hurray! Joy and continued good health to you all.
I’m a bit far away for babysitting but if you guys ever want help with the twins at a con or other event I’m attending (once they’re big enough to tow around), let me know!
Hearty congrats! I shall buy some of your books in their honor.
Congrats. That’s fantastic. Happy Father and Motherhood!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
(now go home and get some sleep!)
Congratulations, sir. The 90% of the human experience you’ve been missing out on awaits you. Beautiful.
Wonderful!
Good wishes for the whole family.
Congrats and good wishes!
Congrats! That is awesome.
And in that simple twist of parenting irony, you just know Calliope will be the quiet one. 🙂
Hey! Congrats to you four!
Ha ha — they’re so cute! And so displeased! (Many, many congrats, and best wishes!)
Congrats Tobias and family! They are just so terribly cute. We had preemie twin girls last month, so we’ll need to compare notes down the road.
Congratulations to all four of you! Glad everything went well.
Congratulations! I rejoice with you in your family additions. They are beautiful.
Mazel tov!
What wonderful news! As the father of two girls I heartily recommend it!
Your ladies are all lovely, Tobias. Congratulations to you and Emily.
Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to you and your family!!!
Congrats! Being a dad is the best job in the world. Be warned though, your life is no longer your own.
Congratulations, my friends. Please let us know if we can help – we’re close, we’ve done this (are doing this), and we’ll do whatever we can.
Congrats! As the father of three wonderful girls, I can say you’re going to have a fun and interesting life!
If you survive the first mumbletymumble years, it keeps getting better too. My oldest had her first girl last winter, and my second daughter is due in June.
Congratulations on being new parents!
The twins look lovely. And nice names.
Congratulations!
How wonderful! Congratulations!
Congratulations on being new parents!
Gratz guys, now all the fun begins.
Congratulations! The adventure you’ve embarked on is the best!
Big congrats to the family!
Congratulations to Mom, Dad and the newest additions to the family. May they live long and prosper…
Best Wishes,
Chris M. Barkley
ps: You know you’re going to have to look out for the telepathy thing in a few years, right? You’ve been warned…8-)
Congrats to ALL of you!
