The first weekend in October is when SBCH NICU has their annual reunion. We were excited to see the staff and some of the other NICU graduates. I will say that last year I was worried the twins would get cold and overdressed them. They ended up roasting that day. This year I checked the [...]

Derby had on a full blown outfit today. I was so proud and couldn’t get over how adorable (& completely kissable) he looked. I took a break and went down to the cafeteria to get some food. When I came back the outfit was off! The twins nurse was telling me how the waist band [...]
