Can I get a little sappy on you guys?!

I was looking through my facebook album today and it made me cry.

These two miracles have come so far I can't even get over it.

Check it out

now

You can just go the left, or click here for then

Try this one if you can't see the others.

Mods- If you think this should be in the NICU forum you can move it, I just thought I'd share it here..

 

Oh, dang. It won't let me see anything.

But - even just looking at your little guys' birth weights, and seeing how long they were in the NICU, then looking at your avatar now - it is pretty amazing. They are adorable.

 

You gave me chills... It is so amazing what their little bodies can overcome! I just wish I could meet all of you and your little ones! I pray and think about you all so much! It is like family here and I do share in your joy! Awsome babies!

 

Sorry about that! You should be able to see them now!

 

I can't see the links either, but you can definitely tell by your avi picture that they have come a long way in 7 months! I'm glad they are doing so well! You are doing a great job Momma!

 

Mine aren't as old as yours, but I can completely relate! We just had their 3 month pics taken, and to look at those pictures and then look at the pictures that we took while in NICU... it just amazes me at how far we have come. My twins both just reached 10 lbs this week

 

I can't see it either i'm afraid! It really is amazing how strong teeny tiny babies are, i'm sure your very proud of them and you should be of yourself too! Would love to see the piccies but i agree with PP'S your avatar speaks volumes anyway.

 

I agree! I cry every time I look at their NICU pics and/or videos! I just can't get over that my big babies that are crawling were once these tiny fragile babies!!! You are doing soooo great Mommy!!! and your strong little guys are your proof<3

 

Thanks everyone!

I *think* I fixed the links now.

 

Tarin, I still get sappy thinking about our NICU journey too. It is truly amazing what babies can overcome. Honestly, I haven't looked at the links b/c I remember your NICU journey from the beginning. I'm afraid I will cry if I look at them right now! Your little men are such fighters and have come so far! I still can't get over the fact that they are eating solids! Before you know it they will be ONE! :woah: As for how far you have come...I'm simply amazed. You are mature beyond your years and I truly admire you and your inner strength. :hug:

 

I think part of the problem with the links is that Facebook is having issues this morning. At least on my end!

 

Thanks Megan, you made me cry! :blush:


Yes I am having issues with FB this morning too.

 

so cute! They have come a long way...such a blessing! Add me to your fb, i sent a request

 

i definitely get sappy when i look back at our NICU pictures. sometimes i'm so grateful for our blind optimism because at the time we really had no room in our hearts to worry about how small they were. it's like you see past the monitors and wires and size means nothing. they're your babies and that's all that matters. these days i feel like the NICU days are scarier to remember than they were to live.

great comparison photos. just imagine someday when they're 16 and big and strong and asking for the car keys! :shok:

 

I totally agree. At the time I didn't see how little they were, they were just my babies. Now I look back and see them and they are scary.

Dora- I added you!

Thanks everyone, I just couldn't help myself last night.

 

Wow, seeing Grayson swimming in his preemie diapers really takes me back to our NICU days. Your boys have come so far and look so happy and healthy! Wait until they hit 1 year and look back again; you will be even more amazed at the changes! You'll have to post pictures again when you get there in December!

Thanks for sharing!

 

They are just beautiful, now and then! They have come so far, gosh it makes me teary! You have done thhem proud Momma!

I also sent a friend request.

 

AMAZING!!
I was in Fred Meyer just the other day and came across some preemie clothes and just thought NO WAY my boys were that small?!?! And it was at least 2 months before G fit in preemie clothes and even W my big boy was swimming in the preemies when he came home. Their birthday is in just a couple of weeks and I am so emotional about it, the crazyness, the fun, the tears, the lack of sleep the joy and the absolute miracles that all of our babies are. :cry:

Better get back to work before I start blubering

Thank you for sharing!
