6/13/10 Visit

Yesterday, Denise met Jerad, the girls, and I at the track to watch the go-cart races then her and I left there and went to the hospital. It was sooooo hot here in VA! It has been about a week I think since my last visit. They change so fast, looking cute as ever. Denise got to do kangaroo care (where they lay their skin to her bare skin on her chest with their heads near her heart)with both boys at the same time. It was so cute seeing the boys so close together. I wonder what they think about when they see each other. LOL It was also great to see how happy and proud Dee is when she gets to hold them. Her face just lights up. The only bad part was I didn't get to hold them, AGAIN! But, I totally understand that we have to limit the amount of holding and stimulation to once per day so they can grow and get stronger. Of course I want to do what ever is best for them, so I will wait patiently for my turn for giving them some loving.

After getting kicked out of the NICU for their 6:30-8:00 closing, we went out for a delicious king crab dinner while enjoying the water view. Then we went back to the hospital for one last visit before bed. I will copy and paste Dee's medical update to this page from her other website later, this way I don't have to worry about giving out any wrong information. She is getting much better than I am at all this technical jargon since she spends so much time there with the nurses.

I will be back up there Friday night to sleep there because we have an early flight to catch to CT for Saturday's baby shower. So, I will get to see them again then. Yeahh! Of course, I can't post without adding MORE pictures so here a few more taken last night. ~Love, Lisa~

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~
