Tanya spent a lot of time this morning on the phone with the doctors and nurses. When we went to sleep last night, we were pretty convinced that Sophia was going to get a blood transfusion today. They did some more tests today that showed her red blood cell count was on the rise and …
It’s hard for me to believe, but I just added a “Week 7” category. So, today marks 6 weeks since the twins were born. If you’ve followed along, you know that it’s been a roller coaster. It’s not over yet. Before I get into that, I missed a couple photos from yesterday that are worth …
Today (December 19th) was the most time we’ve spent at the hospital in a long time – but there’s great news behind that. We’re in a full charge to get the kids home. We started the morning by me bottle feeding both kids for the first time. Tanya’s been doing the teaching so far, but …
We definitely had our hopes up last night, but after talking with the twins’ nurse today, we knew there wasn’t a chance that Cameron would break out of the hospital today. Still, the best info we can get is that we’re in the “could be any day” zone. Sophia did better today with eating. She …
(This is about December 17th, but I posted it on the 19th.) Today was a big day for both kids. They have a big pile of tests they have to pass before they can go home. Today, they passed a few of those. When we got there, Cameron let Tanya know that he was …
(This is about December 15th, but I’m writing this on December 18th) Today was a big day for the twins. Cameron got his second bath. I got to give my first bath. AND…Sophia got her first bath. Here’s Cameron pondering the world after his morning coffee… Tanya is by far the most interesting thing in …
(This post is about December 14th, but I wrote it on December 18th.) The twins are 5 weeks old today, so this starts their 6th week in the hospital. They now weigh about 50% more than when they were born. They look like giants compared to their old selves. They’re still decidedly not giants …
(This post is about December 13th, but I wrote it on December 18th.) NOPE! I WAS NOOOTTT PICKING MY NOSE! I WAS SCRATCHING MY CHEEK!! Cameron spent some time trying to make shadow puppets. So far, he can make shadow puppets of a hand… Sophia’s hat modeling job is going well… The room has …
(This is about December 12th, but I wrote it on December 18th.) Amazing, amazing day. Sophia got her PICC line out today. The twins’ wires & tubes were finally long enough and their playpens were finally close enough that we could get our first real family photo today! Go ahead, skip all my writing…find …
(This is about December 11th, but I wrote it on December 18th.) Cameron’s always been out for attention. It’s really amazing how much he loves Tanya & wants to be with her. When he gives us looks like this, it’s nearly impossible not to pick him up… After some serious cuddle time with Tanya, she …
