Big, Exciting News!

[SarahZ]

Wow. That's great! I thought they'd be in an isolette for a while.

 

[Acela150]

Only Cassidy will be in Isolette as of now. But they are making great progress!

They are very sweet looking and are pretty big considering they were born early. Congratulations again and thanks for the photos.

Penny if it makes you feel better the first few times we went to appointments at the hospital here I made a few wrong turns! You're not the only one directionally challenged!

Aloha Steve

Enjoy your Daughters even though they will, like my Daughter, give you grey hair and eventually date guys just like you. Scarey I know. :wub: :lol:

Oh, that's great! I bet it's hard being away from them, though. Did they give you an estimate as to how much longer they'll have to be there?

Aloha

Mahalo for the good news

It's very hard. More so on Sam then me. We're both hurt by it, but understand that they are in a safe place where they will have round the clock care! They believe that 3 weeks the earliest. But we both want them to be at a safe weight and what not. They will both have to go through a car seat test. Where they sit in the car seat for 90 minutes and make sure they can breath properly. It's also possible that one comes home before the other.

My niece had to do that. I had never heard of it until then, but it makes sense. Fingers crossed that they both pass with flying colors!

 

[Acela150]

They're fighters like their Dad and Grandpop! But they're doing so well. We couldn't be happier!

 

[AlanB]

They will both have to go through a car seat test.

Boy, it's bad enough that we test the heck out of the kids in school, and we teach for the tests today instead of just teaching; but now they have to pass a test just to come home from the hospital.

If we keep this trend up, soon they'll have a pass a test just to get out of the womb. :lol:

I'm glad that things are going well Steve!

 

[Bob Dylan]

Steve: Wow, wonder how many of us could pass a Car Seat Test?!!! ^_^ Glad they're doing well and it allows ya'll to catch up on the Rest and Strength. you'll Both need when they come Home! My Darling Daughter weighed 3 Pounds (Preemie)and had to stay in the Hospital for 6 weeks when she was Born back in Ancient Times! Keep us Posted, they're Adorable! :wub:

 

[Acela150]

A small update it looks like my girls could be home by the end of next week. If not both just one.

 

[Ryan]
