Unfortunately Victoria did not come home "May First" as had been expected.

May 10 - Update

This would be Wyndham and Victoria's 37th week in the womb. Which means that there adjusted age is
still (minus two - four weeks). Considering that they are doing very well.

Wyndham weighs 6 pounds 1 ounce and is 18 inches long.
It looks like he has a hernia and will have to have it operated on sometime next week. This does require
an overnight stay. But it's not like we haven't been there before. Please keep him and us in your prayers
as this will require putting him  to sleep.

Victoria weighs 4 pounds 8.5 ounces and is 16 inches long.
She continues to be on a monitor for apnea. The alarm has gone off only a few times and each time she
has self corrected. It looks like she will be on it for a few more weeks. It still is more precautionary than
anything. Although it sure does give the parents a peace of mind.
She will have an "ear tag " removed in the doctors office on Wednesday.
note: this procedure was successful - she slept through it.

The Others
Lillian continues to excel at big sisterhood.
Lia sleeps when she can and is feeding the babies all the time.
At least eight feedings a day - you do the math.
Russell sleeps when he can and feeds and tries to get some work done.
Also celebrating May 10 as the twelfth year as a "friend of Bill."

May 17

Wyndham will go for hernia operation on Friday this will be an overnight stay.

Operation was successful. He came home Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Victoria continues on the monitor.
There have been a few episodes but we think that even those may be faulty use of the monitor.

Not much sleep for mom and dad. Those late night feeds sure are fun.
May 28

May 27 was the babies actual due date.
So we celebrated this "birthday" with yet another visit to the doctor.
Wyndham weighs 7 pounds 14 ounces
Victoria weighs 5 pounds 6 ounces.

Both babies had their eyes checked on Wednesday. The doctor felt like everything looked good.
Still need to post some pictures.
These babies really do look good. I will try to post pictures in the morning.
