The boys are prescious little tykes!!

The NICU nurses are truly angels, and the boys are in the best of places for now.

My Judy had preemie twins at 26 weeks so I can relate to some of the things that you all are going thru. If you or Jen need an understanding shoulder, call on me.

Put your worries on the back burner and take it one day at a time. Before you know it, they'll be on the football team at school.

My prayers for continued progress for your family.

Love,
Donna H

Just an update...

Sorry I've been very busy trying to keep up with everything...

As always, we keep the pictures link pretty up to date. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to

The boys are in the step down unit of the NICU. They eat every 3 hours, they're up to about 4 feedings per day by breast or bottle, the rest is by lavage (tube). We spend about 3 hours per day there. We get to change diapers, give baths, bottles or Jen can breast feed. They'll let them come home as soon as the babies prove they can sustain their weight on the bottles. They look pretty healthy, and have both just hit the 5lb mark. With any luck, we'll have them home by New Years.

We have the house all ready... just want those cute buggers home.

I could write pages and pages about Peter and Ethan, they are so completely different. Right now, I'm in San Jose to work until Thursday. This is my week. At least I'm employed.

Love you guys

Shawn

They are getting 1/2 of their feeding by bottles or breast now, so things are looking really good to possibly have them home before Christmas. Now that would be a nice Christmas! New pictures up by Friday...

Hi All,

Peter had his feeding tube removed tonight, and Ethan had his removed a few days ago. They are both at 5 lb 12 oz. It looks like we'll get Ethan home on Wednesday, and possibly Peter on Saturday or Sunday.

Then the fun begins...
