I truly enjoyed watching Rosebud holding her brothers, she had the perfect attention to detail and gentleness! #Day22 #twinslife #nicu #rettew5
There is nothing better than a mother’s touch! George was enjoying time with his mother! #twinslife #nicu #Day23
Today marked the George and Henry being 3 weeks old. Each Saturday since they were born, Sarah and I have given them a bath. This week, we were able to work with the #NICU nurses to arrange the bath time to coincide with Rosebud’s fifteen minute visit.
I spent the day at The Duke Endowment and found this statue of Mr. Richard Furman, the name sake of Furman University. Sarah’s great-great grandfather was named in his honor, Richard Furman Landrum. We named our son George Landrum Rettew to honor the Landrum name, her grandmother’s maiden name. Sarah’s grandmother was a Landrum, attended Furman University in the 1930’s, and spent years documenting the history of the Landrum’s including the family relationship with the Furman family.
It’s termed the boring time. It is the time that seems like the longest yard. It feels like purgatory, limbo, state of uncertainty.
