Cash and Chelsie

Cash has a feeding tub in his nose. He was fed that way at first along with trying to nurse and take a bottle.
Chelsie had a harder time at first she needed help with her breathing. In this picture she has a breathing tub in her mouth down to her lungs. They had to put surfacton in to her lungs to help them work right. She had this done twice and was intabated for 3 to 4 days, I think.

This was the first time I got to hold both of my babies at the same time. It only lasted a few minutes because Chelsie was have problems breathing. It was a great feeling though.

Colby was a proud papa. This was the greatest. And yes I did cry. I was so happy to be at the end of very long wait that at times was filled with excitment and at others with worry and tears. Heavenly Father Blessed us and answered many, many preayers.

January 20, 2010 at 12:30 our new babies arrived. Chelsie Lynn was born first, she weighed 4lbs 12oz. Next Cash Ray, he weighed 4lbs 4oz.

Cash was in the NICU for 18 days and Chelsie for 20 days.
