  1. Getting around

    updates

    On our second day home we took the boys to their first party! Our awesome friends got together for a Mexican themed potluck but Lucas and Sebi were the main attraction. At only 10 weeks old they are already getting girls to fight over them. Above Margo and Andrea have Lucas and Sebastian respectively. Overall […]

  2. Peace out

    updates

    At long last Lucas was discharged, one day shy of ten weeks. This hasn’t been what we imagined having our first children would be like. It’s safe to say we’ve had our ups and downs since these guys have entered our lives, but if this is what we had to do to get such beautiful […]

  3. Out on the town

    updates

    Sebi, Analia and I hit the town earlier today to pick up some meds, sleeping wedges and get a bite to eat. His first car ride went well, uneventful, the way it should be. He got the grand tour of his new home and even took his bouncy chair for a spin.

  4. Homecoming, Part 1

    updates

    It’s not the ideal situation, but still exciting… Sebastian is being discharged today! They don’t have any reason to keep him there any longer and they could use the space for another sick baby, so they decided yesterday that Sebastian would be discharged to our parent room with us. That means he can stay with […]

  5. Next step

    updates

    Lucas continues to show no symptoms of being sick or in pain. Actually, both boys are doing great. They are the cutest things in the world. Chris and I could just watch them for hours. They make us laugh constantly. Sebastian actually peed on his face this morning. That was pretty hilarious! So they started […]

  6. Upper GI results

    updates

    So the good news is that yesterdays upper GI xray came back negative for malrotation. However, the doctors continue to investigate why Lucas has increasing levels of conjugated bilirubin. They have consulted with a GI specialist and we are waiting for them to come by and take a look. They also as of today found […]

  7. Remaining positive and patient

    updates

    We will be home soon and our NICU 2 plus months will be a distant memory. Yesterday at rounds we were told that unfortunately discharge may not be until after the weekend. The doctors are waiting to consult gastroenterology and surgery for Lucas. After blood work came back showing that Lucas’ unconjugated bilirubin is not […]

  8. Discharge update

    updates

    Here is Analia and the boys in our luxurious parent room! At rounds this morning I got a bit of a revised outlook on discharge. Since the rascals had lost a little weight over the last two days, it is as we suspected and discharge will be delayed slightly. They are looking for a couple […]
