We thought we were ready for a kid. Then we found out there were going to be two.
UPDATE 11/3/07:
I realized we should mention that the twins are here (albeit 16 weeks early). To read about their birth at 24 weeks and 2 days click here. So this website is no longer a journey of our pregnancy, it has moved on to Derby and Loen’s journey through the NICU. I will be happy when I can update this page to say “our life at home”.
UPDATE 03/25/08:
Loen and Derby came home in February. Loen spent a total of 110 and Derby 116 days in the NICU. The doctors continue to be amazed at their progress. We are gaining weight and moving on. There are still obstacles and many doctors appointments to go but we have come a long way. One specialist felt you wouldn’t be able to pick them out of crowd in a couple of years as being micropreemies. Tadd and I feel so blessed to have them at home. The truly are our little wonder twins.

The two tadpoles made me laugh. Glad we can keep up on the joys of pregnancy and I can live through your food cravings!

Your website is a delight! I’m still holding out for one to be a girl. I loved what your mom said, Hava, that “only Hava could handle twins.”

Hi guys! The website is FABULOUS—though we both think it should be called, “the Taddpoles” with two D’s…..but if you did that , I think maybe Hava’s name should be in the title too…like “Hava and the Taddpoles”……well, maybe that sounds too much like a band name….thanks for making the website….it gives me something to read as I’m pumping in the middle of the night….yes, I am pumping now and it’s 2:36am…
We are so happy for both of you and can’t wait until the play dates start.
Love, Michelle, Brent, and Grant

Tad,
WOW you babies are beautiful, I hope all is well. Rob told me about your web page so I thought I should check it out. Just thought I would drop you a note and let you know you and your family are in my wifes and my prayers. Take care

I feel like I should introduce myself. My mother-in-law, Lori Buxton, (I guess you met at a party several months ago. Maybe through the family you “nannyed” for?) had sent me a link to you blog. I’ve been reading on and off since and I must say I have been captivated by it! I wanted to let you know that I’m praying for you and your new little ones. They are the absolutely precious! Stay strong and know that God is with you all.

Dear Tadd and Hava,
I think of you often and say prayers for your tiny little ones. They have been thru so much… Seems like words are hard to find - hold on to each other for stength and may God bless.
Love, Rhonda

Hava & Tadd,
I recently heard about your babies, and Andy referred me to your site. I look forward to reading more and following their progress.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your tiny ones!
Christie
