Blog Catch Up: Going Home

-
The hospital stay was interesting and different but overall, it was a good experience.

Abigail's bilirubin level went up and she ended up under the bili light.  We didn't really think we would be discharged on Tuesday, after 2 days, but her levels went back down, the babies were nursing well, and the pediatrician discharged us to go home on Tuesday afternoon, January 23.


I really can't describe just how precious it is to have these twins together.  It's amazing to think of them inside the womb living together and now see them together outside!



Tired and happy!


They both weighed around 5 pounds upon discharge and looked so tiny in their carseats.

Without much ado, they let us walk out of the hospital with the babies!


Hap remembered that we started dating on December 23rd and 14 years later, we are walking out of the hospital with babies #4 and #5!  Sweet day!

Thank you for all the pictures and information. I will anticipate many more updates from days 2 and beyond. Big brothers were showing love in their precious smiles. And Grandma Betty was certainly enjoying the moment. Thanks to Kris for all she has done and for being there. Love, Dad

Busy Couple Days

We have had a busy couple days trying to get everything together for our trip. My mother came over the end of last week and it has been so helpful. I have been able to do errands and gather our needed supplies for the trip. I haven't taken many pictures but we have had a fun time and the boys have enjoyed their time as well. Friday we did the majority of our packing and tonight we are going to finish up. Yesterday, we enjoyed some time at a playground in the morning. In the afternoon, my mom and Sam went to see Toy Story 3 (his first big screen movie) while Hap, Andrew and myself went to a birthday party. Sam got these glasses pictured below at Wendy's yesterday and we might try and see if security stops him in the airport:) This evening we had our last team meeting and it was a wonderful time of praying and sharing about what God has been teaching us as we prepare for this trip. We know that it seems odd to some that we would take our children literally half way around t...

Uncle Nathan, Aunt Heather and Caleb Visit

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
