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.

Parker Chills
Lately we've had to "tuck" his arms in his swaddled blanket to make sure he doesn't pull out his CPAP.
Despite having pulled it off multiple times, I finally gave in and let him have an arm out. I tried to "tuck" it in after he fell asleep, only to have him wake up and get mad:)
Wow! Those boys are growing! Now we have some new nicknames for them: Tyler is now dubbed "Chubby." Not only is it an accurate size description, but he's also becoming an accomplished dancer of the "twist." So, it would be okay with me if you added "Checker" to the nickname.
We think it only appropriate that "Chubby" should be accompanied by his 'Big' little brother "Moose."
Congratulations on such great growth spurts. God is good! Cindy Cutts

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!
