Preemie and IUGR Twins Update

***Very quick update while a newborn naps on my lap***

It's been a while since I posted, but I wanted to give an update on the birth of my twins.  I received so many wonderful and encouraging responses when I posted that my twins might be born around 32 weeks... and they were.  I spent about 2 weeks in the hospital after our smaller baby failed a NST test.   When I was 32 weeks 3 days,  the doctors did an ultrasound and saw that Baby B hadn't grown in 2 weeks and his umbilical doppler showed reverse flow.  A few hours later on February 1st, we had our beautiful boys!

Zeke Stanford - born 4lbs 13ozs

Wyatt Joshua - born 2 lbs even!

 Both boys were complete rock stars in the NICU and Zeke came home when he was 3 weeks old.   He has been such a good baby and we are so thankful for that since it has been an emotional rollercoaster having Zeke at home with us and Wyatt still in the NICU.  Hopefully, he will continue to grow and come home soon.  My husband and I are so eager to have our family together again.

Here they are at a few minutes old.

Huge congrats!  That picture is amazing - shows what a big difference there was between your two guys!  I hope W joins his twin at home soon.
