  1. Belly woes

    Last night Sebi thought it should be his turn for attention. The nurses felt his belly was looking large so they gave him an x-ray. As it turns out nothing was wrong, he just had some air in there. This is a recurring theme and we do appreciate that they are precautionary, but one day […]

  2. Easter weekend

    Back at the hospital…It’s funny how everyone kept talking about looking forward to the long weekend. I had myself convinced that “yes, a nice break from our routine would be nice.” I quickly remembered that there is no break from the routine of a parent, especially not parent of babies in hospital. Haha. This wasn’t […]

  3. Bath time

    So today mami and daddy gave Sebastian (who was do) a bath today. Mami washed his face and head, of course the both bothersome part. He fussed! Daddy got to wash his body and he just loved it. He was such a good boy in his swaddle bath soaking in the warmth of the water! […]

  4. Our primary nurse

    Today Chris and I decided to pick our very first primary nurse. This had been our second shift with her and my gut told me she would be an awesome primary. It is so obvious that she loves our boys and thinks they are as cute as we think they are. Haha! Plus, she has […]

  5. Baby steps

    The boys are doing really well. Lucas continues to fight his infection but seemed much more alert this morning. He had a 3rd blood transfusion yesterday and today he looks more pink and is breathing better. He can’t seem to get off the oxygen yet though. They have it at its lowest level and they take […]

  6. Fighting champs

    Lucas’ 24 hour blood culture came back negative which means the antibiotics are working and my little boy is working hard to get rid of the bug. So Lucas’ haircut looks awful. Haha. We are thinking we’ll just shave his entire head. Let him start from scratch. And that way it’ll be easier for you […]

  7. First haircut

    Your nurse mentioned you two being pooping machines. Haha! Healthy digestive systems runs in the family. Sebastian’s PKU follow up screening came back negative. Yay! And his central line was taken out on the 10th. On the 11th, they took him off the high flow which he was on for a couple of days just […]

  8. Lurking about

    I was playing around with some shots of Lucas in his incubator and discovered an interloper lurking in the background.

  9. Moving day

    Thankfully, yesterday we had 10 wonderful friends help us move into our new apartment. It only took 3 hours. So that’s one less thing to think about. We are still hoping to sublease our old apartment soon, so keep your fingers crossed! The boys are doing great! They are both gaining weight steadily! Both have […]
