3.8 and 4 lbs.

16.5 and 17 inches

Alec and Aiden

Alec is on a respirator (lungs are leaking)

Aiden in incubator but doing well.

They are scheduled for transfusions today but I understand this is not uncommon in preemies.

The hospital is wonderful and I feel good about the great care they are getting.

HUGE Congrats!!!!

I'm sure they're gonna both be just fine. My son(who will be 17 years old) next week was 3 months early. He was 14 inches and weighed in at 2 1/2 pounds. He came clost to needing to have a transfusion, but ended up doing okay without it. Transfusions are very common in preemies. He was in the hospital for 2 months and came home at 2 months old at a whopping 4 1/2 pounds! He's been VERY healthy ever since.

Boys are doing great and now are in incubators. The pediatrician is very pleased and said they may be going into the regular nursery soon and out of NICU. I am leaving tomorrow am to go back to the hospital.

Maybe I can get some good pics : )
