Big Update

So first and foremost. Our highlight this week was going back to the NICU where we spent 4 months hanging out. We visited our favorite nurses, Miss Celeste and Miss Kelly. We got there and neither of our nurses were in the NICU, Miss Kelly was getting lunch and Miss Celeste was helping another baby on a different floor. So we hung out with some of our other favorite nurses and waited. Finally Miss Kelly made it back and we got to climb all over her and play with her badge. We were there for about 40 minutes and no sign of Miss Celeste and we were getting hungry and tired. So we decided to head out and come back another day to visit with Miss Celeste. We were leaving and got to the elevator just as the doors were closing.. so we had to wait for it to come back. We were there a good couple minutes waiting.. but wouldn't you know it... Miss Celeste stepped off the elevator. So back into the NICU we went to spend a few minutes with all the nurses again. We had so much fun and Mommy took a few pictures of us.

We have been to a bunch of doctors this week. So we will do a brief recap.

Tuesday we went back to High Risk Follow Up at the hospital so they could see how far we have come since our NICU days. We got to play with things while the doctor, her assistant and 3 med students looked on. We got to play with blocks, cups, crayons (Which we immediately tried to eat... and they were immediately taken away). We showed them our awesome crawling skills and found things they were covering with cloth. Nate almost took out a med student. He slipped by the 6 adults in the room and pulled on a cord and a small fan came flying off a shelf and just barely missed a med student. Nate is developing like a normal 12 month old baby... which is what old we should have been if we hadn't decided to arrive early. Alex is a little bit behind.. but no one seems worried... because its normal for twins to develop differently.

Wed. Alex got his 3rd new helmet. We don't know how long he will have to wear it... it looks just like his other 2 helmets.

We just got back from seeing Dr. Voit who is our surgeon. We had surgery in January to repair our hyperspasia and cordees. Alex's cordee is all better but he still has a hole under his man parts and that is apparently where most of his pee-pee comes out from... neat trick... but not good.. and Nate's cordee needs just a little fine tuning to make it straighter. So we both are going back in for surgery on our man parts on Wed. Sept 17. We really have no idea what that means because we weren't really paying attention we were flirting with the Dr's Assistant... she was funny.

We are exhausted.. so its time for our nap. Mommy is taking us on errand runs when we get up and then Grandma and Grandpap are coming in for the weekend. YAY!!!!!!!
