We do not know each other but Shelly...Hi Michelle,<br /><br />We do not know each other but Shelly Roznovak Cox shared your story with me because on August 30, 2009, we delivered our twins at 24 weeks and 5 days. I have been following your blog and just wanted to share our story because I know hearing about others that had walked before us helped get me through some of our days.<br /><br />Lola Grace was 1 pound 9 ounces and Landry James was 1 pound 10 ounces. They both had brain bleeds (Lola a grade 1 and Landry a grade IV) and they both were struggling to get to the Cpap and stay on it....there were many failed attempts but they finally made it! We were in the NICU for over 4 months but they are now 9 months old, been discharged from all specialists and hitting all of their adjusted age milestones:)!!! Your babies seem to be moving a little faster than ours did so try and keep that smile on your face....they are doing great!<br /><br />If you have any specific questions, please feel free to email me at nataliecgordon@yahoo.com......I assure you, we have heard every situation so far and I know that every baby is different but sometimes it is nice to talk to someone that has already walked the same line:)<br /><br />I know how hard this is....we also had a little girl at home so we too had to figure out how to make ourselves available to so many places. Balance is the key and it sounds like you guys are doing a wonderful job! We pray for you each and every day and like you, look forward to the day you get to scoop those precious babies up and bring them home!!! I hope you have a great visit with your little ones today and know that this family is cheering you and your family on:)!!<br /><br />Much love,<br />Natalie Gordon<br /><br />PS Lola and Landry looked at your pictures with me and they are cheering too:)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600654875209554037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-958628245051693162.post-3704513604438733772010-06-03T11:33:00.705-07:002010-06-03T11:33:00.705-07:00The March of Dimes is working hard to get us all t...The March of Dimes is working hard to get us all to the day when every baby is born on time and healthy. I'm glad your little ones are growing stronger and I'm holding all the other neighbors in your NICU in my heart.

Thankfully we were at 32 weeks not 23 but Camdyn and Cade are so strong and doing so well. I know they will keep up the progress.<br /><br />Love to allLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643190857263842514noreply@blogger.com
