The twins arived Saturday morn

[KubotaSteve]

Congrats on the twins. I know what you mean about the gray hair thing, when my 18 month old was born the cord was around his neck and he was purple. I was standing there freaked out and the doctor pulled him out by the legs keeping a finger between the cord and his neck, then gave him a spin and immediately gave him Oxygen. A few hours later he was fine. Now I can't keep him off the 7800. His red hair sorta matches the tractor.
I think they would look nice in orange machines. Perhaps one ZTR and the other a TLB. That way when they get tired of their machine they can trade /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Charlie,

ask the nicu nurses about "kangaroo care." there is absolutely no reason why a stabele 35 week baby should not be able to have this. essentially, you or mom strip from waist up, place baby(ies) on chest, cover with blanket and sit for at least two hours. Great bonding time and helps babies get out of the nicu faster. At 35 weeks they will still benefti from this even at home. Also make certain they teach you how to swaddle. When they come out a little early, most babies like this wrapping technique.

oh yea, CONGRATULATIONS!!! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Congratulations, Charlie !

Twin boys, wow. By the time they're 16 you'll be looking back wistfully at the grey hair days. You'll have pulled it all out by then ! (Its alot easier to torment your parents when you've got a partner-in-crime)

Congratulations twice! When I think of how much work my son is, I can't imagine two of him! And my daughter was so easy! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif As far as tractors, I'd get one an HST and the other a Shuttle Shift.

Best of luck to all of you. Oh - sleep now, 'cause...........

Thanks all. Sorry for the late update, been a little busy.

Christie is home and doing well. Still running high blood pressure but they are trying to control it.

Chance came home Thursday, forgot what it was like with a baby in the house, yawn. The little fella was 5lbs 4oz when we took him home.

Hunter has gotten alot better. The only thing that kept him from coming home today (Friday) was his eatting. The doc wants him to eat more than an oz at every feeding.
