Our Twins Are Here!
This is Abraham.
I don’t think Molly will mind me coming on her blog to tell you about our new babies. I’ll just make the announcement and Molly can tell the story with more and better pictures later…
Cadence Felicity
1:54 PM, August 2, 2010
5 lbs, 14 oz
18 7/8″
Whitsun Robert
2:00 PM, August 2, 2010
6 lbs, 8 oz

The babies are healthy and keeping warm in the nursery right now. Molly’s doing great, just very tired.
And for fun I’ll give you a teaser for the birth story… It includes a doctor saying, “Don’t put a sheet on her in case we deliver in the hall.”
Congratulations! Such wonderful news!!! (and just for fun, I think this is really a small world because my husband and I used to be on staff with Campus Outreach in South Carolina with lots of people that are now on staff with COM…)! I think you guys are friends now with people we used to be friends with?! All that to say, Happy day!!!
Tracy Carson! Hope you and Keith are well. Would love to catch up sometime. Come visit us and the Poteats & Curries in MN, and we’ll bring you to meet the Piper twins!
everyone’s having twins! Congrats Molly and Abraham! Hope to meet your twins and the Mathis’ twins in the same room one day! Hi Tracy!
awesome! praise God!!!!
PRAISE HIM FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!! I have been praying and checking all day!
I’m saying ditto on Sara’s response – I’m so excited for y’all!
Congrats!! Cadence has always been a favorite name of mine. :)
CONGRATULATIONS MOLLY AND ABRAHAM!!!! :D I can’t wait to hear the birth story and am so glad you and the babies are healthy!! I’ll keep praying for all of you. =)
Congratulations! I have no idea how I stumbled upon your blog but I just wanted to say what a beautiful family you have. I have almost 2 year old ID twin girls and it feels like just yesterday they were born.

Holy Cow! That was FAST! :-D
Love the names – unique as usual. :)
Love and prayers continue for your family, Abraham and Molly.
congratulations and praise the Lord!!! Love the names!
Beautiful. Congratulations and blessings, dear Pipers.
prayed for your family this morning – praise God!
Yippee! We’re so happy for you!
My son’s name would have been Cadence if he’d been a girl. LOVE both names!
And of course the babies are adorable. CONGRATS to you both!!
Congratulations! I am rejoicing and praising the Lord for your sweet family!
Many blessings,
Bethany
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I can’t stop crying and smiling and praising God! I’m SO happy for your family!! I LOVE their names! Well done, Molly! Well done!
Just wonderful news! The best!! Congratulations to all of you (including grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins).
oh my word, oh my word. They are adorable. Molly, you look beautiful! I am so so excited right now. I’ve been waiting for a picture all day! :) :)
Congratulations. Looking forward to the whole story.
Praise God! What great news. He does give! Enjoy your sweet little ones!
YEAH The Blooms are rejoicing with you! Love you all!!
So grateful for God’s goodness!! Congrats!!!
i am so happy for you, i am crying. love the names, and molly looks so beautiful.
Congratulations! I am thrilled for you.
I noticed the middle name… Felicity. :)
My first baby went to Heaven immediately after his birth, his name was Matthew Christopher.
I had a daughter the next year.
Twelve years later, the Lord surprised us with a son whom we named Christopher.
A few years ago, my daughter had her second boy and asked if “I’d mind” if they named him Matthew. (Of course, I was thrilled…)
I often have wondered if Matthew Christopher knows how his memory was honored in the names of two boys. Someday all will be made WHOLE and all of our children will be together.
How blessed you are. :)
Congratulations!
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!!!! They are super cute. I cannot wait to see the big brothers’ reactions. Great job, Molly!
Praise the Lord who creates beauty from ashes.
Beautiful :)

Congratulations, such lovely babies!!
So pleased for your both and for your very excited (I’m sure!) little boys.
Sending prayers and good wishes from Australia.
I’m dying to hear the story behind these name choices. Love yinz! Miss you so much!!! <3
Way to go, Molly! Congratulations to you and yours…happy tears here.
A million emotions right now, but foremost is gratitude to God for his protection on these babies and your precious Molly. His mercies are abundant!
Congratulations! I’m so happy to meet them. They are beautiful…and I love their names…
Praise you, Jesus!! Sooooooooooo excited for you, Miss Molly! And the whole fam!! I love you! And those little babies too!!
Congratulations! We’re happy for you!
Just so happy!
Congratulations! We have a one-year-old Cadence, and love the name, too. :) So happy for your family.
Congratulations! So beautiful, all of you. Gorgeous names. Looking forward to hearing how they were chosen, though of course I recognized Felicity, and teared right up. A lovely way to honor her. May her memory be eternal!
Blessings to you all, and my God grant you many years!
So beautiful, all three of you. Can’t wait to hear more about the delivery and see more of those two (especially with their big brothers!) Congratulations!
Ack! That was supposed to read, “MAY God grant you many years!”
We have been praying for you today. Jeremiah was trying to wrap his head around your new family size trying to figure out whose family had more between us when you included all who were conceived. (we think it’s a tie).
It brings me to tears to see these 2 little ones safely here. Praise God.
What good size babies for twins who were early. Way to go Molly!
And now the fun begins!
Congratulations!
An old friend just named her newborn Cadence as well. After four miscarriages, they wanted her name to be a reminder of God’s perfect timing and grace. Many blessings to you as you celebrate the same, and deep rest as you prepare to bring them home.
Couldn’t be happier!! Love you all…
Congrats times two!
Congratulations!!
From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
~ John 1:16
Praise the Lord!
Big babies for twins – that’s awesome!
Love the names too :).
Congrats!
REJOICING WITH YOU! Thank you, Lord!
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Aww, so happy for you guys! I want to meet them someday… :) And they are both so BIG! Dang, that’s nearly 12.5 lbs of baby you were carrying around! Whew, no wonder you were hot & miserable these last few days. I was pregnant last year at this time with ONE little bitty 5lb 3oz baby and *I* was miserable! Love the names; I have a sister named Cadence, and my husby’s name & son’s middle name is Robert. Praying that these first few days are special as you get to know you newest cuties.
If I had a daughter I’d want her to be you. Congratulations, sweet Molly.
Hooray! Congratulations Molly and Aber! I’m so excited for you guys!! Two beautiful and by no means tiny twins! Phin was 6 lbs 8 oz! I can’t imagine having a whole other six pounds of baby in there. What a blessing, two more healthy Pipers. I’m so happy for you guys! Beautiful names. Can’t wait to hear the birth story! Love to you all!
xoxo
AHHHH!!! Praise God!!! SO excited for you, Piper family and I cannot wait to see more pictures of your beautiful additions!!
PS – more than 12 pounds of baby…. I am impressed!
Congrats! God is so good. I am rejoicing with you today. Love the names!
Congrats! I’ve been praying for you guys all day and last night and am so glad to hear and see God’s gifts to you! Praying for them as they grow and eat and as you transition to a family of 6! Praise God for His mercies to you and the way He has caused us to worship as we have followed your story!
Congratulations and welcome to the world of twin parenting! As a father of twins I can say that it is a wonderful adventure. I love my girls more every day and they are now 6.
YAAAAAAAY!!! Wonderful news! I can’t stop smiling!
Precious babies! Praise the Lord! LOVE LOVE LOVE the names. They are beautiful. :)
I’ve been reading this blog for a while, but never posted any comments, I’ve been praying for the twins and so eager to see their beautiful faces. I can only imagine the joy in your hearts right now. I can’t tell you how happy I am for you and your entire family. What a glorious day, praise GOD!!!!!!!!
Congrats. Your newest treasures from God are a wonder of God. May your joy grow with each passing day. May their joy in Christ increase from grace to grace.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Praise God! :)
WOW! Way to go Molly! May God give you many more double blessings!

The Lord is good. By the way, my brothers are twins too, and they also were born August 2 :D
God bless you all.
Dear Molly and Abraham,
What wonderful news. What beautiful babies. I didn’t know anything about the expected dates. I just started wondering and decided to check tonight. What a surprise to find out that today was the day. How awesome is the Lord. We rejoice with you all. The Morrisons
God is so Faithful!!! Congratulations! they are beautiful!!
Wow! What a wonderful day. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. The babies are beautiful!
I am SO happy with you, for you!!! I’ve been traveling and haven’t been online much, but tonight was like “Oh, maybe the Pipers have baby news!!”
And what news you had! What a JOY to see their beautiful faces!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Thank you, GOD!! I don’t “know” you, but I’m praying for you!!
I am over the moon with joy for you. Mother of 5, Molly! MOTHER OF FIVE! Where is your gold medal?
Those babies are beautiful! And so big! I can’t wait to hear the birth story.
Congratulations Piper Family!
You don’t know me, but I have been following your story. I go to Bethlehem. My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow and happiness all at the same time upon these little ones’ arrival. How sweet of our Jesus to give you these two darling babies, after growing you through the experience of giving up your precious Felicity to her heavenly Father. I know she and our God are looking down at you and your 2 new additions with tears and smiles. You are brave and have a quiet strength that makes me proud of you and I don’t even know you! The Lord has used you immensely and I don’t just say that as some empty Christian-y statement. I really mean it. You are an instrument of God, strengthening countless people through your story. Thank you for sharing with us every step of the way!
Praise God! Can’t wait to hear all about it, and will pray for rest and health to return home… I am encouraged by your love for God!
Congratulations!!! We are thrilled for you! Praise the Lord!
Awww…so dear! God is good, and I don’t say that flippantly. So glad for you and thankful for a safe arrival/delivery.
Praising God with you for these precious gifts… they are just precious!
Sara
Praise God! Everyone looks beautiful. Honoring Felicity is special. I look forward to reading more about the meaning behind the other names, as I know you have wonderful stories behind the other names too.
Congratulations! And praise the Lord!
What beautiful babies and beautiful names. Rejoicing with you all!!!
Hurrah! Looking forward to hearing the rest of the story!
Just precious! To God be the glory!
Praise the Lord! Congrats on your beautiful new babies!
Woohoooooooooo! Praise God!
YOU DID IT!!! Joe and I were sitting in the airport in NY when, at almost the exact moment you were having those babies, I said, “Oh my goodness, we must pray for Molly right now.” They are beautiful. I can’t wait to meet them.
To God Be the Glory!
Praising G-d for His goodness! What a wonderful blessing He has given you!
Amazing!!! Praise God!! Congrats to all the family, can’t wait to see how Morrow and Orison react :)
Yeah!! You’re holding them yourself, while they’re still covered in vernix-I’m taking that as a sure-fire sign you delivered them the “old fashioned” way. Aka: no C-section!!! That has been one of my biggest prayers for you. They are beautiful! Can’t wait to see more pictures and hear the whole story. Love the names. Praise Jesus!!
So good to hear you are all well. Congratulations!!
Congratulations to you and Molly :)
Congratulations to the whole family!
So privileged to share a birthday with the twins! Glad to hear that everyone delivered and arrived safely!!! Congratulations. I love you.
Congrats!!! :) God is SO good.
Congratulations! They are beautiful babies! Can’t wait to meet them.
Wonderful blessing for you all — thanks for sharing the joy with the church and the world. Now may this same gracious Lord grant you both tons of energy, strength and patience in the days ahead…. (prayed by the father of seven)
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I want to join in the singing of praises too. Praise HIM! Praise HIM all the way!
Praise God for the safe and healthy arrival of your sweet babies! Congratulations!
Oh how wonderful!!! Praise the Lord for new life!!! Sounds like they came fast, can’t wait to hear more!!!!!
Congratulations!! God is good.
Hurray! We’re so excited for y’all, and can’t wait to meet the Piper twins soon. (By the way, amazing that Kevin Bacon follows your blog.)
-David, Megan, Carson, Cole
Praising Jesus for your newest blessings! Congrats!
Congrats and God Bless! I’ll continue to pray for you all as you transition to life with 4 kids. Love the names! :)
Congratulations! Beautiful babies, beautiful names! :-) Praise the Lord!
Oh praise God. Welcome sweet babies.
Congratulations on the twins Molly Piper! Yesterday, the day you delivered, was my first day reading your blog. A friend of mine suggested I check it out as I am currently 31 weeks and 3 days with twin boys. :) I was SUPER excited to read your journey of twin pregnancy, the excitement of conception, the utter shock at two-for-one, the uncertain surprise of genders….and now their entrance. :) One thing I can say for sure, as soon as I knew we were having twins (at week 9)…I searched my heart in asking God how I could know this was a GOOD gift from Him…and not something to be a worry wart about…and He immediately reminded me of Isaiah 61:7…and in all my moments of uncertainty, fear of the worst happening….that scripture keeps me stable.
:) Congratulations to your family:) And thank you for allowing others to know the authenticity of being an everyday Christian Mom, wife, and daughter of God.
Sarah Starrett
Yay! Congratulations Piper Family!!!
Congratulations! They are beatiful babies! And I love the names and their meanings…so cool! Blessings on you!
CONGRATS! They are soooooo precious. PRIASE GOD! Great names! Molly you have to get the book Milly Molly Mandy. Very appropriate considering your name, but the little girl in the book is named Amanda. Awesome, wholesome and darling stories of a little girl and her family and friends.
He gives!
Congratulations and God’s best to all of you!
Congratulations!!! I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but as a sister in Christ I rejoice for your family!
Congratulations, Abraham, Molly, Orison, and Morrow!!! Welcome to the world Cadence and Whitsun! We thank God for you and for a healthy Mommy too. May God bless your family and knit you together as one. There was much anticipation about the names over here. Once again, points for originality, stunning, and honorable choices. Go Team Piper!! With Love and Prayers, The Maves
oh, how He loves us! Thank you, Father for keeping this family in your care. Pipers, you have such community that is priceless, all the prayers, the help, the labor of love of those who helped with the twins’ nursery, everything — all done in the amazing love of our Savior. I’m so grateful for those who honor God in their marriage, in their parenting, in their family, in their community. We are so encouraged and delighted by your ongoing life testimony thru your blogs, A & M Piper. We have come to know and love your precious of children of 5! Congratulations and many blessings!!
What a wonderful, gracious gift from the Lord!
