Things are good in the NICU when all you care about is the finer things in life: eat, sleep, & poop. We’re not quite to only caring about those fine things, but there’s visible progress every day. Or at least I can imagine visible progress… Before we went to the hospital today, Tanya asked me …
Today was another great day with the twins. They’re getting stronger every day. Today marked what would have been 32 weeks into the pregnancy. It looks like they’ve both started the upswing in weight. Cameron now weights a mighty ounce more than when he was born, bringing him to 3 lbs 4 oz. Sophia’s still …
We got to spend some great time with the twins today. I got to hold the kids for the first time. All together, we had them out of their playpens for about an hour each. Thanks to a 3-day round of medicine, their PDA heart issues are now gone. What that means to you & …
Yesterday was footprint & handprint day for Cameron. Tanya brought in baby books and some canvases. Cameron didn’t appreciate it. At all.

After the C-section, the doctor’s orders were for Tanya to stay in bed for 24 hours. Since the kids can’t leave the NICU, that meant Tanya couldn’t see the kids for 24 hours after they were delivered. So, 24 hours and zero seconds after her surgery, Tanya leapt from the bed (not really) and ran …
Cameron, locked away in the evil land of NICU, reaches for the only hand that hasn’t tortured him. A hand of hope. A hand of justice. One hand to rule them all. Ok, not really. It’s a really great NICU. The hand is just mine. Still, he has a great handshake.
They’re here! We’re ecstatic to announce the arrival of Cameron David and Sophia Lynn! Cameron was born at 10:37am and weighed 3 lbs 3 oz. Sophia was born at 10:38am and weighed 2 lbs 15 oz. A few minutes after their birth, they brought over Sophia for Tanya to meet her. Cameron followed a few …
