I'm so glad to have this waiting part over with and both babies are healthy and both moms are doing fine. Thanks for all your nice comments. You are wonderful.

Susie,
Congratulations again!!! My sister and I had kids 4 days apart and they always had each other to play with. My sister had a boy and me a girl. They are 23 years old now but I still have all the memories we lived very close to each other and it was like having twins. When one would get hurt and take a trip to the ER the other would be there within days. One time my daughter ate an ant steak and while I was on the phone to poison control my sisters son found another one out side and ate it. They both got to share a room in the ER and wait for treatment....my sister and I had a lot of explaining to do to the Dr.

Susie,
I first saw your post today and want to congratulate you on the new arrivals. I take it baby #1 arrived a little early. What a sweet-looking baby boy. Look forward to seeing a picture of his cousin. You sure do have a lot on your plate the next couple of months (a plate full of goodies). How kind of you to still find the time to squeeze in everyone’s surgery dates.Comment

Congratulations, Susie. The new grandbaby is a doll and it sounds like so much good news in your life.
Thanks for staying on this forum and providing support/information for those of us who haven't yet had surgery. It is SO helpful.

2 year milestone and babies to boot!
Susie,
Congratulations on your 2 year mile stone. You give us all so much inspiration. I am 3 weeks out and trying to keep the big picture in sight. As for those babies. Well God bless!!!!!! There is nothing like having new babies added to a family. My youngest is 15 months old and he is just the comedian of the family and adored by his older brothers. It's great and I love it. Enjoy :O)Susan
