Lina's catching some rays

Lina was moved into an isolette (or incubator). Here they can control the temperature and humidity better. Rose is scheduled to get one soon.

Scuba Lina

Lina's breathing pretty well with a little help from her friend...

Mom finally gets to hold 'em...

After much anticipation Mom finally got to hold both Lina and Rose on separate occasions yesterday, 12/31/2009. Here is mom with Rose...

Lina and Rose have arrived!!

Hi all,

We are happy to announce the arrival of Lina Gail Gorham, 4 lbs 8 oz, at 12:55pm and Rose Libby Gorham, 3 lbs 9 oz, at 12:56pm. Both girls are in the NICU and doing well. Mom is tired and moving slow but back in her room and doing well. Please pass the word.

Love to you all,

Brian & Jael

Getting Monitored

This happens 3 times a day -- 6 am, 2 pm, and 10 pm. Theoretically, this should last about 30 minutes, but can take up to 2 hours if the girls aren't cooperating.

30 weeks

Birth Date!

We now know that the girls will arrive on December 30! This, by the way, is flaunting the hospital superstition that as soon as you are scheduled, something will come up that makes you deliver early. The girls and I have had a talk about this, and hopefully they are going to prove that wrong.
