Greetings and Salutations

Hello from our little corner of the blogosphere.

Obviously, this post was not actually written on the date and time it was published. In actuality, I'm writing this around 2 am, while pumping, on Tuesday, May 1 (pumping allows for so much "free" time in front of the computer at random points in the day).  But since we've decided we may be publishing the blog to friends and family, I figured I should have an intro post, and set it for a significant date and time at the beginning of this journey (side note - wow - that sounds very "Bachelor" like - Some Guy In Austin would be very proud).  The first "real time" post was written 10 days after they were born, on March 22.

Hazel and Abigail were born, unexpectedly early, at 2:44 am and 2:45 am on March 12.  I was 28 weeks, 5 days at the time.  (See my later post and Matt's super detailed post for more info on those happenings.)  I stayed at the hospital until Friday, March 16, and since then I've visited the girls every day that they have been in the NICU (42 miles round trip, but an easy drive up Mopac - unless I hit traffic).  Since I have a hard time remembering what happened 2 hours ago, much less what happened 2 days ago, I decided to blog about our NICU experiences so I'd have a record of how everything went.  I've also tried to add pictures here and there to make the posts more interesting ("this thread is worthless without pics").

So, here goes...
