Wanted to share with you a couple pics on my new nieces lauryn and Addisyn. They were born 1-11-08 and were 7 weeks early. They have been in the NICU for almost a month now and more than likely will get to go home on Tuesday.

Addisyn weighed 4# 9 1/2 oz and now is 5# 15 oz.

How cute Stacie, glad they are doing well.
 
They are looking cute and healthy!
 
Aww, so cute! Glad that they are doing well! Congrats to all of you.
 
Congrats to the family! Twins are great...after having my own, I wouldn't want things any other way. They're never alone because they always have each other, and mine really have so much fun together. Your family has fun times ahead...keep your camera clicking and update us on them from time to time! :)
 
Ah Stacie - they are so precious and they look very healthy!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! It totally brings back memories of when my twins were that little in the NICU. Keep us posted on their homecoming!!!

sklay723 - how old are your twins?? B/G, B/B or G/G??? Mine are B/G and will be 2 1/2 in March.
 
How cute! My DD had the same outfit when she was a baby... she is not even 2 yet, but that seems soooo long ago now!
 
Mine are G/B, and they turned 2 back in December. I must have about a million photos of them...StacieB, if your nieces' parents don't have a digital camera, make sure you encourage them to get one. I would have been lost without mine! I upload mine once a month to Shutterfly so that I can post them on a share site where my relatives and friends who live too far away can see new photos and watch them "grow up" (way too fast, in my opinion!). :)
 
Awwww - HOW precious!!! God bless them and your family!!! Being the proud Mom of 5, I miss that stage so much - But not enough to have another - just in the borrowing stage now!!! They are beautiful!!! Congrats to all!!
 
So glad to see these two coming along so well! They continue to be just beautiful little angels:angel: :angel: !! Keep us updated!
 
Awwwww.....they are too cute!
Glad they are doing well!
