Happy Birthday Erik and Isaac!!





































Our little twins were born on Thursday, August 20th at 32wk/6days. Isaac was running out of placenta and Erik was running out of amniotic fluid so the decision was made that it was time. We waited for Lance to get to Great Falls from Chester and then went to surgery. I felt right at home in the OR until they told me to get on the table:) They both cried right away and got great Apgar scores .(9/9, 9/10). We got to peek at them and touch them quickly, then off they went to the NICU. Both boys are doing very well. They're breathing on their own and haven't needed any supplemental oxygen or respiratory support. Feeding is going slowly. They are sweet and perfect. Their skin is so soft you can't even imagine. The medical staff here have been awesome. Isaac is the little Ethiopian with the white hat. Erik is the little peanut in the green hat.

  2. Oh Brenda, I'm so thrilled for you and Lance! Can't wait to see the babies and hear your stories and see Ivan again. Can't wait!! But we'll be thoughtful and give you some settling time first. ;-)
