David James and Jonathan Richard

Hey everyone!!! They are here!!! The boys were born at roughly 6:16 and 6:17 respectively. As expected they are in the NICU, but David has not needed any Oxygen, and Jonathan has only needed a little, and neither are on a respirator!!! They were 4 lbs and 4lbs 2 oz respectively. They are precious.
We came in last night contracting alot, and assumed that this would be it. However, by this morning the doctors figured not much else was going to happen, so they decided to just watch us and admit us to the hospital, figuring that things would stay pretty docile. Obviously, this was less than an exciting option for us. God however, had things his way. Monica's water broke around 4 o'clock or so, and that was all she wrote. By 6 pm we were cutting.
Monica is doing great and just resting, and dad is about to do the same. We figure the little guys will be here 3-4 weeks or so which means they could be home for Christmas. This raises another concern/worry. The boys being as young as they are, they are much more prone to lung problems. Smoking near or around them is a big no no, even wearing clothes that have been smoked in is a big no no. Monica's parents are smokers and there is really not much of a way that this is going to be easy. We have arranged a meeting with the physicians to discuss all of it, but pray that everything is handled with grace and that there is no strife as we all wish to keep the babies safe, and everyone feeling loved.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, we are so excited to welcome our two new little lifes into the world!
