We've had a busy week! To make a long story short Sara wasn't feeling well on Tuesday so we went into her doctor's office (where she has been working until last week) and they decided she needed to go over to Labor & Delivery to monitored. After 30 minutes they decided her b.p. was high enough that the babies were coming tonight. Our babies were born at 8:37 and :38 pm MDT at 32 1/2 weeks. As a preemptive strike Sara was given two steroid shots last week, so the doctor assured us they were well enough developed to enter the world. Boyd Eric was 4 lbs 12 oz, 18 3/4 inches. Brynlee Elizabeth (at least for now) was 4 lbs 6 oz, 16 1/2 inches. They both have a full head of hair, especially Brynlee who has Aunt SueAnn's hair so far.
We finally got to hold them Wednesday night for almost an hour. And yes, dads need to have skin-to-skin time too.

Daddy with Boyd-

Sara will come this weekend and they babies will be in NICU for at least 3 or 4 weeks. They are doing VERY well for premies- thanks to superior genes, betamethasone, and lots of prayers.
