    Hi all! I don't remember if I posted an introduction here on the 1st year, but I'll give a quick introduction!

    My babies (Wyatt Lee & Riley James) were born at exactly 29 weeks. I went into preterm labor with no known cause. It couldn't be stopped or really even slowed down. I managed to get 1 of the 2 steroid shots for their lungs before I had to have a c-section due to them both being breech. Wyatt & Riley were immediately taken to the NICU where the spent nearly 8 weeks! (55 days to be exact lol) We just got to bring them home on Thursday, 1 day shy of being 8 weeks old. It's crazy to think they shouldn't have even been born until October 16th, but dang they are sooo adorable (maybe I'm bias ;) ) Anyways, thought I'd throw out an introduction real quick cause I'm sure sooner or later I will have some questions for this section!! If you care for more detail, the link to our Caring Bridge site is in my signature :)

    Oh and I thought I'd share some pictures my hubby took of them yesterday!

    Welcome Jo! You and I have a lot in common. I went into preterm labor at 28w 6days but was able to hold my boys off another 4 days, so they got all of their steroid shots before being born at 29.5 weeks. And my boys also spent nearly 8 weeks in the NICU (54 days). I had a ton of questions when we brought our babies home 2 months ago and I have found this forum to be VERY helpful. And oh my gosh those pictures are GREAT! Your babies are absolutely adorable!! I wish we would have had professional pictures taken of our boys when they came home. I'm jealous now looking at your pictures! ;)
