    Congratulations!! I am so glad the babies are doing so well. And, I'm praying they can stay off off the ventilator and that feedings will go well when they start that.

    If y'all need to talk to someone who has been through the NICU experience, please don't hesitate to contact me. Suzanne Joffroin can help get me if you don't still have my contact info.

    Happy Birthday sweet babies!!

I just wanted to say Congratulations and would love to some day meet you and your beautiful family.
