Keep getting bigger and stronger lil guys!

They are here!!!

Haven't updated in a month and look what happens....Aidan James and Lukas Leo arrived on May 23, 2010...Aidan arrived at 3:23pm 1 lb 13oz and Lukas at 4:21pm @ 3lb 3oz. (Wow!...almost an hour apart!) Original due date was August 5, 2010(although Dr. V. said he wanted them delivered by the 3rd week of July)They arrived at 29wks and 3 days. They are now in the NICU with a WONDERFUL staff at Riverside Regional in Newport News and although there are many up and downs with their hearts and lungs which is expected for premies they are progressing and getting stronger each day.

Rather than to have to repeat all the medical happenings and progress I will re-direct you to the new website which will tell the whole story of what has been going on since their birth. Please follow to this website: http://www.babyhomepages.net/sgandurratwins/


What a journey this has been! Now I guess we will have to add a new chapter before the chapter begins in CT where they can start enjoying their life as a family. Thank you to all our family and friends for your continued support, love, and prayers especially in these sometimes scary sometimes joyful times we are all going through. I plan on adding one more post to this site before my part is done in all of this since everyone has been asking how I have been doing. But I would rather hold off for now and focus this on those precious little boys. ~Love, Lisa~

And now from our budding photographer Amanda....

This was Amanda's photoshoot taken 4/27/10. (just a couple days before 26 weeks) She loves taking pics just like her mommy :)

26 Weeks today!

Did we really not update this since 18 weeks?? OMG!! We are so bad! Anyhoooo, lets see to sum up old news first (which everyone already heard by now)... Dee, JJ, and I had the echo-cardiogram while I was back home in CT for Easter and everything checked out just fine. They are going to do it one more time in June just to make sure nothing has changed. But it looks like there was nothing to worry about. The rest of the anatomy scan was A-OK as well after a 2 HOUR ultrasound. Uggh! And yes it was confirmed it is definitely two boys. I now have a framed blown-up pic of baby A's private parts from mom and dad asking me to be Godmother that I am sure he will appreciate me having when he is old enough to realize it. LOL. And the names chosen as of now at least...AIDEN AND LUKAS. Yeah!!!!

Had my regular monthly appointment April 17th in Gloucester and then my high-risk apt in Richmond yesterday April 28th. As usual everything was just fine. Babies heart rates and growth are right on track. Yesterday they weighed in at 1 lb 12oz and 2 lbs 3 oz. I could not believe it!! So cool, thank goodness they take after their parents just in case they come early they should be big enough. According to the Baby Center website they are about 14in. long now. These ultrasound pics were taken yesterday, I labeled them for those who are U/S handicapped and therefore can not figure out what the heck they are looking at. LOL I have the original pics if anyone wants to see those too.

Oh and by the way I'm doing fine too. Another good pregnancy. Only thing I can really complain about is waking up several times a night to switch sides and get comfortable. I can't wait to be able to sleep on my tummy again. And lower back pain if I stand or walk to long.

Another Thursday, another week. Week 18!!

Here is the update from The Baby Center website this week...

How your baby's growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

In other news...went to Richmond to Chippenham Hospital a couple days ago for another ultrasound. They want me to go every 4 weeks now. So much for switching doctors offices so I wouldn't have to travel as much. I thought going to Newport News was bad enough, guess not. LOL Oh well, I will do whatever it takes to make sure everything is going well, even if it includes about a little over 3 hours round trip drive every 4 weeks. *Uhh, get back on track to the news Lisa* So anyway, everything looked great, Heart rates fine, growth right on track (Baby A over 7 oz. and baby B 8oz), anatomy (heart structure, bowels, legs, arms, etc) Speaking of anatomy...I did see what the gender of the babies were, well at least one definite one questionable still. I also see Dee sent out a email to about 25 people with the announcement, but just in case she did not tell a few family members I will not post that here.

Well, Amanda is waiting (not very patiently I may add) to use the computer to play her Facebook games. My next appointment is March 17th at my reg. OBGYN for the routine prenatal check-up. Then it is off to Connecticut where I will see Dr. Viscarello with Dee and JJ. I can't wait until that appointment where they will get to see them and hear the heartbeats in person, and maybe more confirmation on the sexes. :)
