Delurking to (re)Introduce Myself

Welcome, or better yet, welcome back!

~ Can I ask you why they were on a sucrose drip? And were they both on it?
Was it because their blood sugar level was low? Just curious.

Hi, Claudia, and welcome back!

Do your inlaws still try to figure out who was born first?

My name is Claudia, and I live in Toronto/Canada. My family consists
of DH Bill (who is absolutely terrific!), Alison 8yo, Timothy 4yo and
Cameron 4yo. (Guess where the twins are!) In my spare time, I have a
full-time job as an IT consultant. Fortunately, there is virtually no
travel in this job.

The twin stats: T&C are identical, born at 37 weeks by scheduled
C-section weighing 4lb/11oz and 5lb/5oz. One night in the Special Care
Nursery on a sucrose drip and for observation, then they were evicted
to make room for a set of triplets. They both required speech therapy
at 18 mo and again at 3yo but other than that we have not seen any
developmental issues.

I see some familiar names on this group (Shirley, Helen, Nick, David
desJ) and I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest of you!

Didn't life get busy when the twins came?? ;-)

Any virtual travel? (sorry, just couldn't resist!)

We had boy-girl twins on May 25 this year (girl was 4lb/11oz and boy was 5
lb/2oz.) We spent a week at the hotel NICU. I'm a relative newbie to this
group and do a lot of lurking, but occasionally will post. It's been
really nice to hear other's experiences in this group. Having a baby comes
with so many unknowns, and I think that twins bring just a few more
unknowns!

Hi, Kimberly. The sucrose drip was a bit of a preventive measure
because their sucrose levels were slightly low. It was only for the
first 24 hours, then they were unhooked and brought to my room.

Well, what with SARS, West Nile and now Mad Cow, maybe staying
anonymous about my Canadian origins isn't such a bad idea after all!

Wow, Julie. I'm impressed that you remember this! The good news is
that they've finally given up trying to weasel the information out of
us.

Welcome back Claudia! It's good to see you back.

Welcome back from your vacation. Sounds like you had a good one.

I was a bit worried when I came back here and didn't see any messages from
"the mighty Schwinn". Somehow, this place just wouldn't be the same without
your participation!

BTW, Alison is technically still 7, but ask me again after Aug 22!

Wow -- not sure about the "mighty" business, I seem to ask more questions
about how not to shriek my children to death than provide elucidation to
anyone else, these days :-(

Three was pretty easy there for a while (post-diapers, in preschool, same
age and schedules, etc.), but juggling four remains a challenge even after
all this time.

Glad you're back. Hang in here if time permist :-) -- I may have potty
training questions soon ;-).
