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.

Mom and Parker
Here's another picture of Parker holding mommy's hand ( or should I say finger tip:))
Too much caffiene again today John? We are rejoicing in your good news about the boys gaining weight! I know you see them everyday but we can see the diffences in the boys as time is progressing and those two little cuties are getting bigger. Jen gets on every day and checks to see how they are doing. Thanks again for the great updates, we continue to surround you all in prayers. Love, The Crutchfield's
Feel good moment of this year....seeing my little brother attending to his son on the newest reality show we simply can’t get enough of. (I'm Jim, John's older brother with five kids of his own :)) I'm filled with absolute pride and joy for you and Heather! As much as you hate to see your little heroes battle, we, your blog audience, hate to see the emotional battle you both have to struggle through. Know that we struggle right along with you. Each setback brings that sickening knot in our stomachs and every minute triumph gives us a shiver and plasters a smile on our faces that lasts throughout the day. All four of you are in our lives daily with lots of love and hope. Jim, Ben, Dallen, Terren, Cassy and C.J..

We live each day with a sense of hope, happiness, and determination. We take one step at a time, day by day, knowing that we will one day wake up and find ourselve with two grown sons! We savor their existence and try so hard to not take ANY time for granted. After a five year struggle leading up to the birth of our darling little ones, we are so grateful for the family we've been given. This blog has become our family journal that inspires and comforts us daily. Thank you for sharing in this journey with us!
