Andie Freeman (godparent, aunt, and sister-in-law) holding Wyndham Russell, Jr., and McGeath Freeman (godparent, uncle, and brother)
Wyndham and Victoria were baptized today at Loris First UMC in Loris. The Rev. Gene Norris assisted in the ritual.
This was a wonderful time for all of us as we remembered just how special the gift of life really is. God has given us
all a wonderful gift in these babies. Lia and i would like to thank all of you who have kept us in your prayers over the
last few months. We could not have done it without you. TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
Since the last post much has happened.
We moved from Okatie, SC (outside of Hilton Head) to Loris, SC (outside of Myrtle Beach).
Try moving with three children under three years old - no don't.
Lia has been on "house arrest" for much of this time. As the twins were not supposed to be out in public until after
the 4th of July due to their delicate immune systems.
They have been strolled around Loris once of July 5
and all five of us went shopping at the outlets in Myrtle Beach - see previous comment.
June 24 - weigh in results
Wyndham Russell Freeman, Jr. 10 pounds 3 ounces
Victoria Fidelis Freeman 6 pounds 13 ounces
The twins will be baptized this Sunday - July 17 - at Loris First UMC.
Wyndham came home on Saturday April 30 at 12:18 a.m.
Victoria came home on Wednesday May 4 at 7:47 p.m.
She is on a monitor. But this seems to be a precaution.
We will go to our pediatrician on Monday for their "well visit."
Let the Fun Begin !!!
5:22 a.m. - Wyndham Russell Freeman, Jr. 3 pounds 3 ounces 16.25 inches
5:23 a.m. - Victoria Fidelis Freeman 2 pounds 6 ounces 13 inches
Although they were born at just shy of twenty-nine weeks both babies came out crying and were not at all happy about having
there picture taken. Both Wyndham and Victoria were moved to NICNu (Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery). By days end both
children were treated with serfactin to help with lung development.
All things considered children are doing very well!!!
