This is me at 32 weeks - 1 week before you were born. I wonder how much bigger I would have gone if I went close to full term.
This was Timmy just a few hours after he was born and he was already breathing on his own. He stayed in the NICU for 5 more weeks. He was moved out of the most critical care NICU room about 8-12 hours after birth.
This was Xander the day he was born. He was in the most critical room of the NICU where he stayed for a week with only 4 weeks total in the NICU.
Timmy on on his 2nd Day.
This is Xander on his 2nd Day and it was the first time I was allowed to touch him. It was an incredible moment.

Thanks for sharing.and happy birthday to your wonderful twins.
Wow, you must have been so uncomfortable. I only had one and she had her feet stuffed up into my ribs during the last three months...ouch.
Happy Birthday, Timmy and Xander!! What wonderful pictures. Thanks for giving us a peek.
Oh, that brought tears to my eyes. How precious they both are. Thank you so much for sharing those pictures with us. And you look beautiful in that picture.

Thanks everyone for sharing with me.
Bron - I had no idea. what a wee little baby you had. My boys were giants compared to your girl at 4 pounds.
Tali - it is so nice to see you. I can't believe Yehonatan is already 1! That is simply amazing.
They're both beautiful! So sweet.
Forgive my new graduate enthusiasm but, of course, what do I notice first in the pics? Xander's ventilator circuit tubing and the knicks on Timmy's heels from being stuck for capillary blood gases to assess the adequacy of his ventilation..sigh...and then I think about what an incredible world of medical technology we live in and I'm so grateful.
Happy Birthday, Little Men!
