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.

Parky Eats
"Oh no...what's that coming at me?"
"Argh...it's that stick thingy with that weird stuff on it that mom keeps stuffing into my mouth!"
OMG! They have already changed SO much! I miss you guys! I am so, so sorry that I missed your discharge from the hospital...I was home, my son was ill. I ended up being out for about 6 weeks, a lot longer than I had thought! Anyway, I wanted to LYK that I did receive the gift you got me. The sweatshirt/jacket with the boys info on it. I just LOVE it. Its a great reminder of them and the time we spent together. I hope all is well with you guys and your daily journey in the world of Premie-parents Parenthood...Hee hee.. Take care and Happy Holidays! Much love, Johnna Dean, RN UC Davis NICU

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!
