Eight Months Old!

Hangin out in the afternoon, originally uploaded by Evelyn Lang.

On August 7, 2009 the girls turn 8 months old. We are still running on adjusted time, so that means we are the size and shape of 6 month olds. So what’s new now? Well, we have bouncing and laughing and loud little voices as you [...]

How did I get here?

Ack! OMG, I am so behind in updates but I have a really good excuse. Right around the time of my last post things were getting, shall we say, GOOD and FUN around these here parts. Sure, sure, there’s still tons of work to be done and lots of juggling but all of a sudden, [...]

5 Months Old (3 Months Adjusted)

I am so done with counting the babies’ age in weeks. It just gets too hard to do all the “adjusted” stuff with my limited math abilities. But yeah – here we are at 5 months old!
Amanda!

Things are going really great now. It turns out that A&J are excellent little night time sleepers. ML and [...]

15 Weeks, 6 Weeks Adjusted

Tomorrow the girls will be “6 weeks adjusted,” that is, 6 weeks from their original due date. We have come really far in these past 6 weeks! We visited the doctor this week and had many triumphs.

Quick Update

Just popping in to let you all know what we’ve been up to in the past two weeks. We’ve been sorta busy!
The girls are now 8 weeks old and growing quite well – I suspect their next weigh-in will definitely be around the 6 pound mark! Next week, on February 7, they will have reached [...]

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

The girls are coming home! Yes, Sunday, as in TOMORROW — Sunday, January 18, 2009! Exactly six weeks from their birthday!
This week has been great for the girls, they have made significant advances that all point to discharge. They have been maintaining their own temperature successfully outside of the isolettes and taking all of their [...]

The home stretch

The number one question of all time – even more than “How are you feeling?” – is without a doubt:
“So, when are the girls coming home from the hospital?”
Damn it, people. Don’t you think I would tell you if I knew??? When I know this information it will be the first thing to fly out [...]

Happy 1-Month Birthday!

Today the twins are one month old! It’s been a long month of NICU and nursery care, but the girls are doing fantastic and we are so looking forward to bringing them home soon. At this time they are transitioning from tube feedings to bottle feedings. It takes a lot of patience (for us) and [...]

The Birth Story

So here it is, folks, the story of how it all happened. ML and I like to joke now about how we met at UConn, we got our degrees from UConn, we work at UConn, we got married at UConn and now…we had our children at UConn. I gotta get these girls some UConn t-shirts [...]
