They're here! About 5 AM this morning, the babies decided they'd had enough time inside, and one of the rascals poked a finger through the sac...(Well, maybe not, but...)

This morning My two new great-granddaughters were born this morning in Billings, by c-section (her water had broken, but the babies were both breech), just shy of 31 weeks.

Saphira and Selena are just wee bairns yet, at 3 lbs. 15 oz. and 1 lb 10 oz., respectively, and have some incubator time ahead of them before they can come 'home' and visit. The larger of the girls, Saphira, had some breathing issues early on but is doing well on her own now.

So far I have pics of each on my cell phone, but I don't know how to get them on here yet. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Once Again, Thank You all for your ongoing prayers for these two babies, their mom, and the whole family. May Almighty God abundantly Bless you and your houses. I ask this in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen. Tremendous is the power of the Lord our God!

Congrats, Smokin’ Joe! Please extend to your grandaughter, also. When ours came, they, too were 2 months early & 3 pounds & change. You know what, though? No matter how small, they’re still lovable. We’re very pleased to hear about yours. When you get the proverbial round tuit is fine, on the pictures. Congrats, again!

What absolutely precious little babies! Such blessings! Prayers continue for all, for short uneventful hospital stays, for the fast smooth recovery of your granddaughter.

Merry Merry Christmas, to all of you, many blessing throughout the New Years.
