Here is a picture of our little lion. She has been doing pretty well considering her size. She is in excellent hands. Landon is also doing very well too. I hope to have one of “Lan the Man” soon, but … Continue reading

@ 6:32 “Landon Aaron” entered this world weighing 700 grams (1.5 lbs). @ 6:35 “Alissa Jean” (aka Lissy the lion) followed her brother weighing a mere 389 grams (0.8 lbs). Despite their extremely precarious situation they both are defying the … Continue reading
Sarah has been having epigastric pain (pain below the rib cage like indigestion). It could be many things including indigestion, however, it is possible it is a sign of the pre-eclampsia worsening causing trouble with the liver. The doctors have … Continue reading
They are watching her very close today as things did not go well for Sarah last night. We are waiting for blood work results to let us know how they will proceed.
Sarah had a nice quiet night (spent with her mom) with great bps. Again she had good blood work results. Let’s hope for another uneventful night!
Well we got a little good news and some okay news (I’m trying to be an optimist so there is no bad news). First off the okay news: the girl is estimated at 457 grams (up from 400 grams) and … Continue reading
Sarah had a rough night and morning as well, but it all settled down. Her bp went up a little throughout the night, but by lunch it came back down to a really good level. They ran the blood work … Continue reading
Sarah’s still doing good today, not much changed from yesterday. We are having our next ultrasound on Tuesday to check up on the babies. We’re hoping the little ones put on some weight!
Now that my BP is more stablized and I am feeling better, I just wanted to check in and assure you that I (and the babies) are doing just fine. It is unfortunate that I couldn’t get any bedrest time … Continue reading

Today marks the start of week 25. Sarah’s bp was up a little yesterday, and so was her urine protien. They don’t seem overly concerned yet as her blood work still looks good. This morning’s bp was back down a … Continue reading
From Tony’s comment: “have the doctors given a range of time that sarah might have until giving birth?” Preeclampsia is unpredictable. Some last several weeks or even months while others will only be able to hold out a few days. … Continue reading
Sarah’s bp rose back up again today. Blood tests as of 6pm showed her organs are still doing fine. We spoke with several different doctors today and we pretty much have a good understanding of everything that’s going on so … Continue reading
Sarah and I both want to thank everyone for the support and positive thoughts coming our way. Thanks … Continue reading
After some more testing today a quick urine protein test showed no protein (good sign). Blood test also showed no organ problems. Blood pressure has come down a little today. They did some doppler blood flow tests on the babies … Continue reading
On Saturday and Sunday Sarah wasn’t feeling well. Sunday night we decided to go get a blood pressure meter as she was showing signs of Preeclampsia. Sure enough her blood pressures were high. They had us come straight in and … Continue reading
Today we found out that the girl (Twin B) is not growing as fast as the boy. The medical term is IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction). She is measuring at about 21.5 weeks and he is measuring at about 23.5 weeks. … Continue reading
