The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (sounds scary, right!?!?)

We named you Avery Jo (baby A) and Zoey Marie (baby B) and you were born at 11:30ish pm on September 14, 2010 measuring 2 lbs 14 ounces & 15 1/2 inches long and 3 lbs 4 ounces & 16 1/2 inches long, respectively. Once delivered in the operating room, you were rushed to the NICU with your daddy. From what I heard, those next few hours were CRAZY....perhaps I'll have your daddy add a post with the details someday soon.

Zoey

All I knew was that I just delivered twins and you were in the NICU. What I was about to find out, is that being a parent of twins, not to mention premature twins, will be the hardest thing I've ever done, beginning with our time in the NICU.

This will come to be one of my most favorite days for the rest of my life!!!  Yes, it is your birthday.  Why so early considering our expected November 16th due date?  Well, let me ATTEMPT to explain.
