Lets call this our NICU brag book. I hope we can have some sticky threads that anyone can go right to as a resource.

Post your pics and brag about your cutie! Everyone here can relate. Talk about that itty bitty diaper they put on them- the one you snatched for your scrapbook and another child's dolls! Show you hand next to them, dont worry about anyone asking about the vent tube post those pics!

Here are the girls in their carseats when they came home at 15 days

Here they are in those same car seats at 3 months (Actually 2 days shy of 3 months. )

Here they are on their 3 month birthday wearing their homecoming outfits:

Here are Chaya and Shira at homecoming:

At homecoming all of the clothing was taped so that it would sort of fit. Notice the cuffs rolled up, too.

I have another outfit that really shows it, but I need to take current pics with it.

Some of my pics need to be scanned in to the computer, they're only on regular photo paper right now, not digital. But here are a few:

Just a few minutes after birth, my husband is with her in the NICU:

Both of these are when she was 3 days old:

The day she came home (23 days old):

About 7 months:
