We havent done this in quite awhile and we have a lot of new NICU people (good and bad, I understand). So let's see an early picture of your NICU babies and a now picture. I will go first. Then First Day Home from the NICU. Leah is 26 months. :wub: Now The boys just turned 3!!
:Clap: Great idea Rachel!! Beautiful kids Rachel. :wub: I love seeing how they have all grown!! Then First day home from NICU, Emilie and Trevor 2 months old, Caroline 5.5 years old. Now Christmas, 2009 Emilie and Trevor, almost 4 and Caroline 9.
Adorable kids everyone!!!! :wub: Wow... lets see.... These were the cell phone pics my husband took the first day. They were the first pics I saw of my girls while I was still in the ICU recovering. Emily- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/feffers/Emily.jpg Zoey- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/feffers/Zoey.jpg 10 months old, pic from yesterday: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/feffers/002-5.jpg
Thank you for Starting this thread Rachel!!! :wub: Then: Kylee Kaylyn Now at 27 Months: Kaylyn Kylee Both of them with Daddy. ♥
Amy, love that we have the same carseat with big girl in the middle :lol: Wow, I remember when your girls were born Kyrstyn. I remember those "hand" pictures. They are all getting so big. I love seeing how much they have all grown. Let's see some more :give_rose:
Awwwww, I am so lucky that my two didn't stay in the NICU although they could have due to their gestational age and size. But look at them all! And Amy, that picture made me do a doubletake. Generally the two people with the matching outfits would be around the same size
same here...at 36w mine were less than 5 lbs each (abby was only 3.5 lbs)...I can't believe how grown up everyone looks... oh and Krystyn I remember when you went on hospital bedrest and delivered too....I can't believe the girls are 27 mos already!
LsuTwinMama- :wub: Adorable! They are getting so big. Kyrstyn-I too remember seeing that hand pic before. I can't believe how big your girls are now. :wub: Leighann- :wub: What adorable big girls you have. I know I thought of that too. :lol: That was the easiest way to get a pic of all 3 at the time. It is amazing to see how they have all grown so much. :laughing: Very true! Although I think Caroline looks much better in a matching dress to Emilie than Trevor would. :lol: And funny thing is Caroline loves it when I can find matching dresses for her and Emilie and I can only find them at Costco generally. I think she likes thinking she looks like a twin too. :lol:
What a great idea for a thread; I love it! Here's a picture of the boys' "reunion" when Jack was released from NICU: http://www.dropshots.com/Tslisher#date/2008-08-22/05:01:34 Here they are just after Christmas practicing their "supermodel" faces : http://www.dropshots.com/Tslisher#date/2009-12-30/13:45:59 They're not babies anymore, they're little boys! :cry:
Wyatt then Riley then Them bustin outta that joint! hehe Them now (about a month ago at 5 months old) ETA: I love this idea! But it almost makes me sick to my stomach to look back at the pictures!! Back then (even though it wasn't long ago) that was the only way I knew them. Now that they're getting to be my little chubby monsters (or drool monsters lol) I had forgotten just how small they were! ETA again lol: Password is potter
i'm totally getting weepy over here too! :wub: what a great idea. i didn't find twinstuff until after my girls had been home for a while, but i imagine this forum would have been such a wonderful support. Danika Riley together now (18 months)
These pics are making me so weepy! How big all our babies are Mommy's first time holding both babies<3 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a211/MRSWRIGHT2B/JT%20and%20Jack/mommyholdingboth.jpg Christmas picture http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums/af322/KMAW927/December077.jpg

Sean Marlee and Merrick look great!!! It is amazing how much they have grown! I will have to scan in some NICU photos we didn't have digital camera wayyyyyyyy back then
Thanks... Ha...I bet they didn't. You gonna have to scan the stone tablets???...j/k That reminds me though, I need to scan the pics we got from the disposabe cameras we left in thier rooms so I can make sure they stay safe and have some backups

This is fun! I've never tried to put pictures in a post before but we'll give it a try. These are just ones that are on my blog - I thought that would be the easiest first attempt :FIFblush: ! Our first family picture when they got home from the NICU. Together at 16 months!
I :wub: all these pictures!!!! I always get sentimental this time of year since 3 years ago I was in and out of the hospital and on bedrest. I can't believe that 3 years later my little girls are happy, healthy and hilarious! Keep on posting people I hope all these before and after pix are comforting to our mommies and daddies who are currently on the NICU roller coaster hug: to all of you).
I too cant believe how far we have come in 3 years. It is so cool to see all of your babies and how they are growing. Thanks for sharing.
I love this thread :wub: It's so nice to see so many big, healthy kids! Andrew NICU Catherine NICU Andrew now Catherine now It's hard to believe that they will be starting Kindergarten this fall :cry:

Hi! I am new posting here, but here are some then and now pictures of my girls. They were born at 24 weeks exactly! Addison on day 5: http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo346/caitlin-addison/Addison/Addison9.jpg Caitlin on day 5: http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo346/caitlin-addison/Caitlin/Caitlin2.jpg And her are my girls now!! They are 18 months acutal and 14 months adjusted http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/oo346/caitlin-addison/January%202010/IMG_3013.jpg
Thanks 4JsinPA- yeah they were tiny! Caitlin was 1lb 10oz and Addison was 1lb 4oz. They both spent 127 long days in the NICU and had many of the complications expected. Today they have some mild developmental delays (just starting to walk at almost 18 months and other little things) but both are healthy and doing great.
Here they are at about a week old (so 32 weeks gestation), which was the first time since their birth that they were allowed back together in an isolette. They were born at 31w0d, Lily was 3lb4oz and Grace was 3lb8oz. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j56/jaznsusan/2008/Jun-2008/togetheragain.jpg And here they are this month on vacation at 3y9m. Lily http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j56/jaznsusan/2010/Jan-2010/70620012_012.jpg Grace http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j56/jaznsusan/2010/Jan-2010/70620013_013.jpg
