World Prematurity Day

November 17th is World Prematurity Day....what better way to celebrate than to look back at some of the first pics taken of our trips who were born 8 weeks premature. These bring back SOOOOOOO many emotions, I don't have the time to reflect beyond posting some pics right now, but I think I will right a letter to each of the boys on here for their 1st birthday. I better get started since it is just over 2 months away.....YIKES!!!!

Love you boys!!

Evan, just after getting cleaned up

Evan, sometime during his 1st week after graduating off of CPAP :)

Payton on his vent and under the billi lights

Payton was put on a vent after having a lung hemorrhage late during his 1st night in the NICU

The 1st time being able to hold Payton, he grabbed my fingers and the tears started rolling!! (from mom of course)

Little Man Riley!

R was such a sweet pea! He was born 3 pounds 4ounces and dropped down to 2 lb 15 oz, hard to believe he is now bigger than Payton and trailing just behind Evan at 18 lb 10 oz!! (Evan is now 19 lb 4 oz and Payton is 16 lb 3 oz....not sure where he is putting it- he eats like a champ!)
