Quite the Handful!

This just might be my favorite thing to do these days! I love to hold Ryan and Reece! Normally I don't hold them together but this morning it seemed that they both started fussing because they were hungry and mom was on the phone and Laura was drying her hair (a big treat these days), SO I just loaded up the boys and headed for the bottles.
I did have my first "shower" today! Reece actually tee-teed yesterday all over his face when I gave him a bath. But then today, he zapped me and himself! I was laughing pretty hard-this is something the "Reid-Girls" are going to have to get used to!
Everyone is doing great! They will see their cardiologist this week. We actually need to pray that they find some signs of heart failure in Reece. Ryan has been showing signs almost immediately, but Reece hasn't shown any yet. If he doesn't start having some heart failure, there could be damage to the lungs. I don't understand it all but that's what they tell me. Laura and I both think he has started in the last 24 hours because his breathing has changed. (We of course will leave this official diagnosis up to the doctors!)
Thought you might want to see their faces too! Reece is in the back and Ryan is in the front. Honestly, I think that's right but without checking to see who has the blue toe, I really don't know. Either way! I love them!!! They are soooo sweet! Thanks for everyone's prayers-these truly are our little miracles!

I loved getting to see all of you today and meet little Ryan and Reece. They are adorable and sweet. What a blessing to your family!

PS -- you will learn quickly Auntie, that you change little boy's diapers VERY fast...always keep it covered! If I had a dollar for everytime Seth & Sam have peed on the wall by their changing table, I would be rich!Good luck!

Love the pictures!!! Thanks for sharing. Yes, boy diapers are diffrent from girl diapers. I think poor Ryan Baird peed more times on himself than me. Seems like it gets better as they get a litle older, but we still get plenty of showers. I can't wait to meet these sweet angels soon!!

By the way...I just reread my comment and thought you might think I was thinking Ryan and Reece are yours. I know they are your nephew and my prayers are for God to bless you with babies of your own one day. Check out my blog b/c we are going through the same thing (See Storm 1 & 2)
