Birmingham, California: September 2010
http://birmingham-ca.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 5, 2010. First full day at home. The girls spent their first night at home and daddy already misses the nursing staff! But we are really enjoying being able to deal with both girls at once. While we were in the hospital, we had to put one of the girls on a portable monitor to bring them close to each other. So when we came home, I had to get a couple pictures with the girls together. I hope to take some more artistic pictures (or at least try to). Saturday, September 4, 2010. What that ...

Birmingham, California: February 2009

Thursday, February 12, 2009. Here is a picture of Rebecca and her little brother. Rebecca loves to help Mom out and occasionally she gets the opportunity. Granny left today and we are sad to see her go, especially Susana, because now she gets the opportunity to try to handle two little ones throughout the day. This weekend we are expecting Susana's cousins Sonia, Issac, and Heather and then next week Auntie Camille is coming out for a week, so we will still have lots of visitors coming through. For the i...

Birmingham, California: Over 5 lbs and Brady free (so far)
http://birmingham-ca.blogspot.com/2010/08/over-5-lbs-and-brady-free-so-far.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Over 5 lbs and Brady free (so far). We had some good news over the last couple of days. Yesterday, Ana Lucia crested 5 lbs. Today she weighed in at a healthy 5 lbs 2.8 ozs. When I hold her you can really tell the difference between what she weighs now and where she was a couple of weeks ago. McKenzie is doing her best to catch her sister. Today she weighed in at 4 lbs 11 ozs. She'll be over 5 lbs in no time. In other excellent news, neither Ana nor McKenzie has had a bradycardia.

Saturday, August 28, 2010. Look Mom, No tubes! Today was a big milestone for Ana Lucia and McKenzie. Overnight the NICU. Took our the feeding tubes for both of them. Now we can see their beautiful faces without those pesky tubes and tape. This also means that for now, the girls have checked another box on their way to coming home. Without a feeding tube, the nurses will be giving them all of their feedings from a bottle or breast. This had to happen before they could go home. For those that haven't made ...
