SURPRISE - The boys are HERE!

We had quite a surprise last Friday night, Aug. 19th when I started having contractions and they didn't stop! And, 6 hours later, on Saturday morning, when our twin boys were born at 35 weeks, 6 days!


Nolan Stephen  6 lbs. 15 oz. 
and 
Nathan Gordon  5 lbs. 12 oz. 

Because the boys were early, they were keeping an eye on their blood sugar and sure enough, they both had a hard time maintaining the level they should have. So, Saturday night they were both admitted to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) at the hospital where I delivered. They were started on iv fluid of sugar water to get their blood sugar regulated. After a day, their levels were normal, but unfortunately, they had a couple minor issues due to their prematurity and therefore, they're still in the hospital.

We've slowing adjusted to this life of shuffling back and forth to and from the hospital to visit the boys. It's been hard splitting time, but we've had a ton of help with grandmas and grandpas and wonderful friends who have stepped in to be there too. THANK YOU SO MUCH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!! We love you!!!!!

We're hoping to have both boys home with us soon...please keep praying that all goes well and they'll stay on the right track. We need them here!

We PRAISE GOD for their arrival and trust that He is in control and is watching over are sweet baby boys!

Enjoy a few pics of our sweet guys!
