The babies are doing well and are in the NICU at Children's Hospital in St. Louis. It's been a roller coaster of a week where they seem to have good days and bad days. But they are tough little things and are battling through. I will write a post later this week for all you twin mommies out there who follow this blog and explain what the heck happened for them to be born at 27 weeks. Trust me it was quite a surprise!
Thank you to everyone who has called, text, messaged, and most importantly prayed for our family this week. It's been a long week with a lot of tears of both joy and fear and so we thank everyone for their support.
(I plan on doing updates here on the blog on their journey in the NICU. I try to answer everyone's messages about how their doing when I get them, but as I'm sure you can understand sometimes I can't get to them all. So hopefully everyone will be able to stay up to date by checking the baby's progress through the blog.)

Congrats on your bundles of joys!!! The NICU can seem like SUCH a scary place but stay positive and I am sure your beautiful precious babies will be home with you and your hubby in NO time!!
ReplyDeleteOur Olivia was in the NICU for 80 days, she was born at 26w 3d gestation and 1lb 70z. We were "officially" discharged from the NICU after Olivia's 19month (16m corrected) appointment. Hang in there! It is a journey, but it sounds like you guys have a GREAT support system!! :)
Congratulations!!!! We had a stint in the NICU and they took amazing care of our baby boy! Praying for comfort, peace and healthy babies!!. xoxoxo
