Welcome

Hey all, introducing the two newest members of our clan:

Sade Virginia Reynolds & Reese Ashley Reynolds

born Oct 4 around 3:00, Sade was 3.3 lbs and Reese 3.9 lbs. 8 weeks early but doing very well. Delivered naturally gratefully, and mom is doing great.

Babies will stay in the hospital for 4 or so weeks while they develop lung and eating capability, but all signs point to them being just perfect.

Grateful, happy, and excited, and Kat is pumped to be done with pregnancy . . . forever.

Holding 'em Both!

There are soooooo many babies in the NICU right now. The nurses moved the babies in isolettes to a large windowed storage room. There is no privacy there for kangaroo (skin to skin) holding so they let us have the girls to ourselves in the parent visiting room. This is the first time we have been able to hold them at the same time, all bundled up and off monitors. They will be three weeks old on Tuesday. The doctors are telling me a maximum of three more weeks. They would like to send them home together, but Reese might come first. She has started breastfeeding and seems to be catching on. Sade should be able to try this week.
Sade is now 3lbs 7oz, and Reese is 4lbs. Often once a baby hits 4lbs they are moved from their isolette to a crib. That will hopefully happen for Reese as soon as they get some of those other babies out of the NICU.
