I'm sure most of you already know, but for those who don't... I have two new nieces! Kristi and Brad's twin girls were born on Thursday morning. Alex Christine weighed 4 pounds, 13 ounces, Avery Celeste weighed 4 pounds, 11 ounces, and they were both 17.5 inches long. They are absolutely adorable little girls and are doing amazingly well for little 33-Weekers! Kristi's mild preeclampsia became severe preeclampsia Monday night and then she developed pulmonary edema, fluid in the lungs, which made it very hard for her to breathe. They did an emergency C-Section that morning and she instantly felt better. She had to receive two pints of blood the next day because of excessive blood loss, which she wasn't too wild about, but it helped her a great deal. I've been able to hold the girls already, which made me extremely happy, but I can't wait until they come home so I can hold them all day! Here are some pictures from the hospital:

Kids are not allowed in the NICU, but the girls got to see Kristi yesterday after the rodeo. They were happy to see first hand that she's okay.
Congratulations, Brad and Kristi!!! We love the girls so much already and are dying to give them a Big Squeeze just as soon as they get home!
Yikes! I guess it would be hard to believe that I actually had my bag packed with a comb and make-up. Luckily my girls are natural beauties!
