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.

Passy no more
Okay, so maybe I over-estimated Tyler's pacifier experience yesterday. As you can see he wanted nothing to do with it today
After catching myself up on the past month's experiences, your description of the "roller coaster" definitely seems fitting! It was great to see you and Heather at Jamba Juice the other day. If you or your wife need anything (meals, yard work, rides, etc.) please feel free to contact me. I keep my phone on 24 hours a day for that reason (a little trick I picked up from an old activities director of mine!).
Take care and I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers!

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!

Wow John!
