Mother's and Father's Day Presents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, Well the day has finally come, we are the proud parents of two little girls. That is we became the parents yesterday afternoon. Just so that everyone understands why our bundles of joy are here so early, I will explain. Friday night about 8:00, we started to notice that Ella, (aka: Baby B), was not doing very well. She was dropping her heart rate into a range that was not good for her. The doctors were notified and the decision was made to watch the girls all night long. Well at about 2:30 in the morning Ella decided that she wanted to drop her heart rate three or four times fairly close to each other. The decision was then made to move Lynette to labor and delivery so that we were closer if the need arised. May 5th, 2007 at about 11:00, the need arised. The doctors spoke with us and the decision was made to take the babies for their safety and Lynette's. The girls were born at 12:12 and 12:13. Madelyn was born first. She tipped the scales at 3 pounds 3 ounces and 16 1/4 inches long. Ella however was 16 inches long and weighed in at 3 pounds 3 ounces. Both girls due to their being early needed to go to the NICU and be placed under oxygen tents to supply them with additional oxygen. Not really all that bad for 32 week twins. Today the girls are doing even better. Both girls are now feeding with a feeding tube. They are too young to feed with a bottle right now. Both girls are also on room air and doing quite well. Lynette and I have gotten to hold the girls three times today, and it is so special being able to hold your own babies. We will continue to keep everyone up to date on the status of the girls through email and our blog site. But for the time being here are some pictures of the Reeves' twins.

The pictures above are of the girls and their proud parents. Madelyn is the young lady in green and in her momma's arms. Ella is in pink and sporting her first Aggie ring with Dad.

I hope that everyone enjoys these pictures. Stay tuned for more exciting pictures to come. God will continue to bless us and the girls, and our prayer is that he will continue to watch over and help the girls and their parents through the next couple of weeks and months to come.
