Babies Having Babies

Here we are with some of my best high school girlfriends, Donna, Lisa, and Jessie (and Aidan). In less than 7 months two more will join the crowd! That's a lot of babies:)

Yes, i am LOVING all of the babies. SOOOOO much fun (and soo much work - haha!). Apparently I am "too gentle" with them :) We took them swimming yesterday and had a great time. Oh yeah, Billie, there will actually be 3 more in the next 7 months...don't forget Baby Buck.
love, lis

This picture certainly is a testimony to love among good friends. It warms my heart, makes me think of you girls growing up together and what close, loving, friends you are. Miss Lisa is getting her education in babies this summer and loving it! Smooches and big hugs!! Love, Mamma Jules

Jess and I just discussed, and it was actually Eden who was responisble for attempting to tear out Auntie Lisa's earring. She is VERY persistent with the bling, and with the glasses...

I read you blog for the first time today. My wife and I lost triplets last year (one stllborn at 19 weeks, the other two lasted to 21 weeks and had to be delivered due to infection, both girls died about two hours later in my arms). My wife is now pregnant again with twins, one girl, one boy! She is almost 25 weeks. I have been researching preemie twins because my wife is at high risk for premature delivery (she currently has a circlage for incompetent cervix). This is how I came across your blog.
I am exteemly inspired by your story. You obviously have a great support system of family and friends, but it is your upbeat outlook that pulled your babys through (and God of course). As I read your blog, I can see that even when your little babys were on the down side, your tone was if you knew these little ones were comming home with you. 24 week preemies have a 40% chance of making it. When I read your very first blog, I knew I was reading a story of someone who has beat the odds. Congrads to you, Great Job! I know how hard it is to stay focused and upbeat when your being tormented by the thought of loosing your babys. You did it! You won! I pray that your little ones will live a normal and healthy life. Everyone knows how special children are, but when you've been through what you two went through, you have a little extra appreciation for life and the joy it brings. I can see from your pictures that those babys are radiating life and joy into everyone around them.
Please say a prayer for my twins to get to full term. Currently baby A (girl) is showing echogenic bowels in the ultra sound. This can mean different things (downs, cystic fibrosis, ect). Or sometimes just goes away (50% chance). We can use all the prayer we can get.

Jim,
Thank you so much for your comment. I truly appreciate all of the positive things you had to say about what a great job we are doing with our babies. This has been a very tough and emotional journey for us, and I have days when I feel really down and alone. Your words of encouragement came at just the right time. I can only imagine what you and your wife are going through right now after losing your triplets. I am sure that the joy of this twin pregnancy comes with a lot of worry and mixed emotions. I have great hopes for your family and will keep you in my thoughts. It sounds to me like you will be great parents who appreciate your children's lives much more than those who haven't experienced what you have. Please keep us posted on how the pregnancy progresses. I'll be sending positive thoughts regarding your baby girl's echogenic bowel. Hopefully it will turn out for the best. If not, I am sure you will find the strength to deal with whatever happens. I have learned a lot over the past year about the strength of the human spirit. We are all so much stronger than we think we can be!
Best Wishes
