June 4th 2007

This is David. We had the twins today. It went very well. We slowly progressed to labor, but when it happened it was fast. From the time, Bonnie's water broke and the babies were borns was less than 40 minutes. When they told Bonnie to push she pushed once and Olivia was born. Paul was breach but did not require a C-section. She had to work a little to get him here, but all in all he came relatively quickly, also. From the time, the doctor told Bonnie to push until they were born was 15 minutes.

The babies were born at 2:55 and 2:58 local time. Olivia Maelee weighs 4 lbs. 14 oz. and Paul Thomas weighs 5 lbs. 4 oz. I am also posting some pictures on the website.

Bonnie is doing great. We were talking about it today and many of our family and friends are responsible for getting our babies here safely thru numerous prayers. Thank you. We appreciate all of your prayers and love all of you.
