Meet the Cordova Twins

The Cordova Twins:

Jordan (pronounced JOR-den, in Biblical & English derived from (yarad) meaning "descend" or "flow down". It is also the name of the river which flows between the countries of Jordan and Israel where Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist).

Jacob (pronounced JAY-kep, in English and Biblical means "holder of the heel" or "supplanter", and (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". In the Old Testament, Jacob (later called Israel) was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. He was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel)

Family and friends,

Here is the latest development on the twins today; along with some other pictures taken yesterday on Sheri's camera (some of her holding Jacob) and some pics we took today.

Jordan had 3 BM's and 4 wet diapers for the day and is measuring 1 lb 12 0z. All of her medications have been stopped with the exception of caffeine to help her fluids and organs processing normally. Her feedings today only left 1/2 CC residual today, nightly feeding went good as well. Jordan's CPAP mask was changed from a nose plug mask to a facial mask, this was done because her nasal passages were a little irritated. Her CPAP levels are still at 5% and breathing room air percentage air (21%)

Jacob has had 6 BM's and 4 wet diapers for the day (with his BM's, he will be competing with his old man for the toilet before too long). All meds for him have been stopped as well, with the exception of Caffeine like his sister (have to be fair). Like his sister, he is also on 5% CPAP and breathing room air (21%). He is also competing with his sister in weight (currently at 1 lb. 12 oz [I guess he had enough of being two days behind Jordan on development and is working to show her up]). Overall a good day. Sheri wasn't able to get a room for this evening though, so she is at the house tonight and I will take her back up there tomorrow morning.


For those of you getting this email for the first time, I'm sorry I haven't contacted you sooner. But, I have included in the email chain below everything that I could keep straight that has brought us to this point. If I have missed anyone in this email transmittal (as I am sure I have given the current circumstances) please forward the progress to them as well. In the next few days, I am working to create a blog page that you all can access easier; I will send the link to everyone as soon as I have it created. We'll be sending you more info as soon as possible! Stay tuned for more excitement...Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!
