Ashlyn and Caelan are officially 3 months old today...even though they are still 5 days away from their due day of December 4th. I never thought this day would come! We had a meeting with their doctors today and discovered that there is actually an end in sight. They are thinking that Caelan will be ready in 2-3 weeks and that Ashlyn will probably follow him home sometime in January. We were hoping to have them both home for Christmas, but we don't want to rush Ashlyn if she is not ready. Having Ashlyn in hospital will just mean that Christmas dinner will be done cafeteria style instead of with our extended family...but at least we won't have to cook! I have spent Christmas day in that hospital before (except that I was an employee instead of a patient) and I must say that the hospital does a really great job of trying to make it special for the kids.
Our little ones were placed into separate cribs last night and are no longer co-bedding. Ashlyn is having a terrible time with reflux and has been doing a lot of vomitting since the weekend. The trouble with being in the same bed is that she tends to throw-up all over her brother. You should see the amount of laundry I have done over the past few days! We are happy that they are still side-by-side in the nursery and that they still get to see each other every day during our double cuddles.

Beautiful Babies. I know having twins at home with Shaylah will be lots of work. BUT compared to all the traveling that you do back and forth from the Hospital you will probably feel so much better and more rested!!!
That is so encouraging to hear that Caelan should be home for Christmas with little Ashlyn not too far behind him. Perhaps she will even catch up to her brother and be ready before they are expecting?!
Praying rest for you guys and continued blessing on the babies health. Praying for Shaylah too. HUGS all around!!

Dear Marsalie
During a visit to Aunt Rae's over the past weekend, she recounted this remarkable tale of survival, courage and perseverance to me. You, and those beautiful twins, definitely qualify for a gold medal. I'll cherish the day when I get the chance to see them!
God Bless,
Rod McLeod
