Reid and Brock are here!!

Reid Maxwell and Brock Crawford finally made an appearance!! They were born on December 27th. Reid weighed 5lb 2oz and Brock weighed 5lb 7oz. This explains why I had trouble walking..more than 10lbs of baby in me!! They are doing great! They are in the NICU for a couple of weeks to become better eaters. They are currently drinking bottles of breast milk and seem to be growing. They are breathing on their own. Which I didn't expect to see since they were 7 weeks premature. I am so glad they are healthy and doing wonderful!


Here I am right before the c-section
Tyler and I right before I got rolled into the operating room.

Tyler actually got pictures of my stomach cut open and the babies being pulled out but I thought I would spare you. I was shocked to see what it looked like!
Here is Reid. He was pulled out first at 10:42 and he was screaming!

Here is Brock. He was pulled out a minute later at 10:43am.
This is my dad coming to see me in the recovery room. I was feeling awful and he always knows how to lighten my mood!

Here I am holding Reid. He has a feeding tube in his nose in case he gets too tired taking a bottle. Then the nurses put the rest of the milk in the tube. He hasn't used it very much which is great!



This is still Reid.
Here is Ty feeding Brock.


Here I am feeding Brock. He looks identical to Drew when he was born.


Daddy holding Reid.




Thank you to our family for all of your help with Drew. We thank and love you so much!
