The babies both spent last night in the NICU. It looks as if both boys will be spending at least one day in the NICU with Alex spending probably at least 4 days. Both boys are not "in trouble" but are being given oxygen and other treatments to keep them out of trouble. They have wet, young lungs and need some extra care at this point.
Having the boys in there is very different than we were hoping. We knew that with twins and being born at 36 weeks NICU time was a strong possibility, but I don't think we were really prepared for it. We haven't held them yet so it is a little bit of a surreal experience. It seems a little like they belong to the hospital and not us right now. Hopefully, their lungs will kick into gear and we can bring Evan to the room soon.
They are beautiful little boys with super soft skin and just a little bit of hair. I can wait to hold these little guys.
