I hope you had the biggest beer ever at 4 today. :D I told you this many times the other night but this is just the best thing and couldn't have happened to better people. You are going to be awesome parents. Now those babies gotta keep growing so I can meet and cuddle them!

Good work, DJP. Kids will be great if you keep them away from Dirty Dancing.

Those are some handsome babbies! I love the look on the little guy's face (the one wearing the crimson shirt) in the pic with you and the boys--he's looking like you like "oh damn, that's Dad."

Thank you, everyone!

Yesterday we had the boys transferred to a hospital in Boston so that we could sleep at home. The Portland hospital was thinking that D would be released first with J leaving a few days behind; the Boston hospital looked at them and basically was like "we expect these guys to be out of here Monday" (!!!!!!!!) The Boston hospital is also feeding them twice as much as Portland was and neither boy is having problems eating.

so fun to see these guys irl today!

call all destroyer, Saturday, 5 April 2014 21:11 (ten years ago) link

They're pretty great, right?

Wahaca Flocka Flame (DJP), Sunday, 6 April 2014 00:15 (ten years ago) link

I imagine you are busy with a few (well, two) other things right now, but I hope at some point you're open to sharing more about your adoption experience. I have some social work colleagues who work in adoption, and it does, in face, sound like the craziest thing. Interested in your perspective.

in fact, not in face

totally! i never realized that a fun thing about being a twin would be co-napping.

call all destroyer, Sunday, 6 April 2014 02:31 (ten years ago) link

I'm in the process of doing this right now, actually; I don't know anything about your situation or experience prior to this point but if it's anything like mine it was a hell of a trip, so congratulations.

joygoat, Sunday, 6 April 2014 02:59 (ten years ago) link

in fact, not in face

In face as well

I will be much more open to talking in September when everything is finalized. I will say that the boys rule and I love them and leave it at that.

Wahaca Flocka Flame (DJP), Sunday, 6 April 2014 03:35 (ten years ago) link

I am super happy for those of you tht have met the twins, but as a dude that has not yet met them I hate you all.

Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Sunday, 6 April 2014 03:46 (ten years ago) link

two weeks pass...

I have only just found this joyous thread! Congratulations D and J!

Madchen, Sunday, 20 April 2014 14:23 (nine years ago) link

one year passes...

Has anyone fostered children? Or been fostered? Or would this be better in a new thread?
