Welcome to Tyler and Parker Thompson's Blog

Tyler and Parker Thompson arrived on June 23, 2008 at only 26 weeks and 4 days old, weighing 1 pound 6 ounces (Parker) and 1 pound 10 ounces (Tyler). Parker spent 129 days (home 10/30/08) in the NICU, while brother Tyler spent 143 (home 11/13/08). We are thrilled to have our family complete with both boys home!

This blog was created by John (the daddy) to inform family and friends (and now new acquaintances) of the twins progression. Below is the blog archive dating back to the week Heather (the mommy) was admitted to the hospital. We try to post weekly updates, but on occasion the week gets the best of us.

These are my absolute favorite pics!!! Heather looking over Parker and Parker gripping Heather's finger. You can lose yourself in these two moments.

Tyler and Parker, Welcome to the world little ones. You are so beautiful. My love surrounds you and your Mommy and Daddy too. Be strong for all of us that are waiting to shower you with our love. John and Heather, my prayers are bombarding the heavens night and day for the strength that both you and Heather and the twins need to see this through. Remember John, the Doctors counted you out but you survived to become the man we all know and love. Your sons can do no less. Tell them that Grandma T. sends her love and a big hug and to you and Heather too. Love always, Mom

Thanks for the new pictures. They really do help to put things in perspective. Heather, the pics of you with Parker put tears in my eyes. It's wonderful to see you being the amazing mommy we all knew you would be. Hope to see pics of them both in your arms very soon.

Love, Ashley
