Fun Saturday

Gotta saying having both boys home is pretty great. Really busy but so much fun. Liam is doing great at home. He's been cranky these past few days but I guess leaving his "home" (the NICU) and coming here might make someone cranky. But Zefram's been happy as a clam and giggling lots. Liam loves to ham it up to with stories and smilies. The last couple of days they both discovered their feet and today Zefram's been trying to sit up straight while sitting in his vibrating chair. Bunch of crazy kids we got. Well for your enjoyment here are some pretty funny pics of the boys... Matt and I almost peed ourselves while taking them.

Survived

So we survived the first night. Both boys woke up at the same time. Gave them both a bath and ate and off to sleepy land they went. Today went very well and Zefram's been very happy since Liam came home and he's been giggling lots and it's so cute. Liam's been gassy and cranky but we will fix that in a hurry. Well gotta make this quick Zefram needs to eat. But here are some pics.

"so Liam how do you like it here?"
"oh it's great to be home."

Liam in the chair...HA so little it's great

Together

At last.

And we're off

Just about to leave to bunk at the hospital for 2 nights with Matt, Zefram and myself. Kind of nice for the boys to be together and we getting the feel of being parents of twins...finally. But Zefram's been cranky and I'm pretty sure he's teething. So if he gets really bad I told Matt just to go home with Zefram. Anywho here are some new pics of Liam and I'm sure we will have crap load more of the boys together when we come home on wed.

Nearer

It is almost certain that Liam will be coming home next week. We're excited and a little scared to finally know what it's like to have twins (...you know what I mean). Some more pictures of Zefram to appease the masses:

He always opens his mouth when you get up close

See his dimple? Just one, courtesy of mommy.

2 Visits

On Saturday, my brother Andy, sister Meg, and grandma came down to visit us and Zefram. It was our first get-together in 2 years, and Zef was happy to meet his great-grandma and see everyone again.




And yesterday, Mary and I went to visit Liam and got a few nice pictures of him... hopefully among his last at McMaster.




And finally, here's Zefram in a duck outfit.

Camping and Liam Update

Mary, Zefram and I went camping with the in-laws a few weekends back. Zefram did fairly well... not too fussy, and he seemed to enjoy the outdoors just fine. It'll be fun to have both boys camping next year.

I had a meeting with Liam's doctor today to discuss his current status. This time, it actually sounds pretty likely (to me) that Liam will be home before the end of the month. Mary's skeptical, and I can't blame her, but he's been doing better lately. He won't require the expensive machine we were facing having to buy/rent, but will come home with oxygen, just in case he needs it.

Some camping pics!






And some other pics of Liam and Zef.

3 months...WHAT?

I know it' been a while since we've updated. But it's summer and who wants to sit in front of a computer and write about something? Well apparently I do. There really isn't anything new with Liam at the moment. They have been giving him some air, not oxygen just slight air bubbles while he sleeps to help with his 02 sats dropping. So they are trying that over the long weekend and sometime this coming week we will meet with a Dr and figure out what's next with Liam. So if that works then he gets to come home and we aren't counting on it and if it doesn't then he gets moved to the 3rd floor of the hospital to the pediatrics ward where we will probably stay till his surgery. But Liam still cute as can be and apparently the nurses all love him and want to take him home AND they've been saying he looks like me. So it's no wonder they want to take him home ;0) He smiles and coo's all the time and eats like a champ. He's up to 9lbs 10oz (probably little more now) Now on to twin b, Zefram. He is probably over 11lbs now and eating and growing out of everything. He's been a good baby lately. Still fusses alot but not as much which is really nice. He is also smiling lots cooing and even starting to giggle. Which Matt and I love. The cooing and the "talking" is so sweet he breaks my heart. He sleeps better at night then during the day which is fine by me. So I don't get much done during the day as i would like to but thank goodness for my mommy. Hmmm? I was gonna post some pics of the boys but it's not working and Matty is at work. Well that's all the news we have right now. I enjoy being a mom but I don't enjoy the lack of sleep and lack of house work not getting done. But at least I have 2 beautiful boys.
