Banished to their room

July 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Tadd asked his mother if she would like to visit in the month of July. Ummmmm….she was on a plane 15 hours later. I guess that was the soonest one to California. She said when she awoke on Wednesday she would never had guessed she would be holding her grandkids the next day. Unfortunately for [...]

Lazy Momma

June 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Man I have been so lax when it comes to updating this blog. So much has happened that I haven’t written about. What usually happens is this: Oh I need to write about that, that is going to take some time so I will do it later today, baby meltdown, I’ll write tomorrow and next [...]

Day 213

May 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

The babies are now 7 months old. Or 30 weeks. Or 213 days if you want to be a little more accurate. That’s about 1.8% of my life. The impact that they have made in our lives is immeasurable. They have been out of the womb 57 days more than they were in the womb. [...]

It’s been half a year of mayhem

April 27th, 2008 · 5 Comments

It blows my mind to think that the twins have been alive for 6 months now, half a year. At times it feels like much longer when we think of where we started, obstacles we had to overcome (and still do) and friends we have lost. UPDATES: Loen: We are still the bigger twin. As [...]

5 months minus 16 weeks add 3 hours…oh forget it

March 24th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Yes the Tadpoles are 5 months old now. When people ask how old they are I often debate whether to tell them their real age or their adjusted age (how old they would be if born on their due date). Even saying they are a month gets comments like “Ohhh, they are so small”. They [...]

Oh Brother

February 25th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Time, where does it go? I feel like I am up most of the night, up early to feed and change the twins, but between there and me getting a shower I lose a huge chunk of time. It is suddenly noon and I am finally eating some breakfast, then I feed the twins, change [...]

Race to the finish

January 24th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Hopefully soon I can stop tagging my posts with NICU. Today the twins are 3 months old. In someways the time has just flown by. I look at pictures from the beginning and I had already forgotten about how small and fragile they were (to some people they look small and fragile now, to us [...]

It’s been 2 months?!

January 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m still in shock the Tadpoles turned TWO MONTHS OLD on Christmas Eve! Talk about time going by quickly. I feel like I was just on the high risk OB floor but then I think about all that has happened in that time, such as moving and all of the events in the NICU. As [...]

They’ve got personality…hmm..mmm (I dont know the rest of the song)

November 25th, 2007 · 5 Comments

The nurses talk about how you can really see their individual personality. Well, when they are awake that is. It is true they each do these little things, that in my opinion are adorable. Loen loves to open her eyes and look around. While my son is a little lazy. He will raise his eyebrows [...]
