...He just provided the basic materials. :P

Not from the rumors I've been hearing swirling around lately...  :o

Regardless, just make sure you name the more handsome one Matt, please.  Thank ye'.  :-*

Logan and Liam Arrive!
« Reply #77 on: July 6, 2006, 12:55 AM »
They are here...   ;D

Twin A - Logan - 6lb, 2oz.

Twin B - Liam - 6lb, 7oz.

There were a few minor respiratory complications (since they were born 5.5 weeks early), so they are spending some time in the NICU at the local Children's Hospital (and that's where I've been pretty much since Sunday, well I've actually been one hospital or another since last Friday - but more on that later).  

Everything appears to be going very well now though, mom was discharged today, so things are looking good.  Babies should be able to come home next week if they keep up the progress!

Hopefully, I'll have more time later this week to empty the digital camera and show off some pictures. :)

Great news Jeff, congratulations to you and the missus especially.  

Early twins at 5.5 lbs isn't much of a big deal really.  What I mean is in the respect that they're actually pretty big and healthy, just normal precautions.  Or so my sister says and I'll trust her, given she's been a nurse dealing with premies for 20+ years.  They'll be home and you guys will be losing sleep in no time.  

I'm guessing you have to buy an extra case or two of Kubricks from now on to get the boys started.   ;)

Congratulations Jeff and Kirstin -- what a blessing!!! The boys are a nice, healthy size for early twins.  Our daughter was 5 weeks/5 days early and a 6 pounder also.  She was a little slow on the nursing/gaining for the first few months -- but she's on full steam ahead all the time now.  Your boys will do great - they'll be home in no time!  I assume since they were born 1 minute apart that a c-section was needed?  Take good care of mama so she can take care of those babies :)  Great names btw :)

Congrats Jeff! Those are some really healthy weights for 5-week premie twins. Our first daughter was only a week early and she was just two ounces heavier than your boy Liam. Glad to hear everyone is doing great. What a blessing!

Fantastic news Jeff! I hope they are home soon, and that the events weren't too stressful for you and your wife. Fatherhood is great, welcome aboard!

Huuuraah,  Thats great Jeff. Glad to hear the Mother and the Kids are ok.
The NICU now adays is mostly just precautions. My Mom is an NICU nurse practitioner, and she said that many times the babies are in and out within days, and the ones who are really bad get out in a few weeks. So congrats. Get plenty of sleep now.. before they get home. ;)
