The Twins Are Here!

Here is my family of 5! The twins thought about joining us on Monday the 19th. I was checked into the hospital and given drugs to stop the contractions long enough for me to get two steriod injections. Then on Thursday the 22nd we had Timothy Foss Boland and Christopher Edward Boland. Labor went very smoothly and they came only 7 minutes apart. They were born 33 weeks and 6 days into pregnancy which means they both have to spend some time in the NICU. Tim has been a super star and Chris had a few minor issues the first few days but is doing well now. As of yesterday, they are both doing everything on their own except eating.

Jack investigating Tim

Fortunately my parents were here when I checked into the hospital for a week. They have been watching Jack and taking care of everything so I didn't have anything else to worry about while I was in the hospital. They have also made it possible for me to spend 4-5 hours a day at the NICU. I don't know what would have happened without them.
