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.

Welcome the boys!!!

June 24 1:30 am

Heather is finally getting some well deserved sleep:) Tyler Johnathon Thompson was born at 8:14 pm followed closely by Parker Duran Thompson at 8:15 pm Heather came through emergency C-Section surgery like the trooper that she is!! Tyler is 1 pound 10 ounces and Parker is 1 pound 6.25 ounces. Both are in the NICU being cared for by some pretty great people. They are doing well all things considered......now they just have to battle. I will try and give you more details of the day tomorrow. I also wanted to thank everyone for being so incredibly supportive and patient. Now that Heather's health isn't in danger I know she will want to start seeing people. I will check with her tomorrow to see how she is feeling. She is in a semi-private room tonight, so the hospital wouldn't let me stay with her. Feel free to call my cell if you'd like. I'll try and take as many calls as i can before my battery goes dead:):) Big thanks go out to Zana and Theresa for coming at a seconds notice to be there. Having them there made all the difference!!! Everything happened very quickly.
