Just a quick update!
Liam: He had a rough go in the beginning. He was briefly intubated on low settings with umbilical lines in place and then went to a lesser form of support called NIPPV then CPAP. After he was extubated and his umbilical line was removed they inserted a PICC line. He is currently on a high flow nasal cannula and his PICC line was pulled and fluids discontinued because he is tolerating full feedings via NG tube!
Nora: Was on NIPPV and then CPAP and is also currently on a high flow nasal cannula and her PICC line was pulled and fluids discontinued because she is tolerating full feedings via NG tube!
As many of you know, I’m actually a neonatal ICU nurse so this is what I do for a living. It was been a whole new experience seeing it from a mommy’s perspective. I know I’ll be able to take from this experience to give even better care when I return back to work. My husband says he doesn’t know how he would deal with this if I wasn’t a NICU nurse. He says he just looks at my face to gauge if he should be worried or not. All in all I am thrilled with the progress we’ve seen in our strong little babies!
They are 32 weeks today so we will be in the NICU for a minimum of another 3 weeks. And now the fun part.. Here’s a bunch of pictures!
My first time holding both of my loves together…
Looking at my husband as I hold both of my babies together for the first time. Such an amazing moment…
Best. Feeling. Ever.

Such a beautiful family! I really teared up looking at your pictures. (My hormones are super sensitive.) 🙂 All of your experiences make you a better nurse and a better mom. My prayers to you and the family.
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful moments. I’m so glad to hear your babies are doing well. They will be home before you know it 🙂
Thank you! I hope so. Pumping around the clock and going back and forth to the hospital for visits certainly makes the days pass quickly.
So beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes!
Absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad everyone is doing well!
Aww love the pics! Glad to hear your babies are doing well and hopefully you will all be home before you know it!
Beautiful.
So so so happy for y’all!! 🙂 Can’t wait to meet them
Reading this makes me feel good. Our twins are 26w and I’m on mandatory bed rest because of cervix issues so they may come at any time – hoping to at least get as far as you did. They’re beautiful.
Thank you! Hang in there. I know bed rest is awful but everyday counts!!
tearing up..so beautiful
I’d love to talk with you, I have tons of questions – would you email? I know you’re so busy with your beautiful babies too, so no worries if you cannot!
I definitely would!
Awesome, what is your email?
I sent you an email.
Your photos look great. Congrats. They look gorgeous!
