I am so happy the babies are all doing well. <BR/><BR/>Monica, I have to admit I am a little jealous that you have been relieved of the baby pressure in the belly. It did make me feel a little less jealous to hear about the feet so, although I am sorry for your feet issues, I do appreciate you sharing the information. :)<BR/><BR/>It's lots of fun to see pictures.

I know that day to day it was not always so fun for the two of you. But, what a great job you have done. We had fun at my parents yesterday going over all the connections, looking at your pictures, etc. My parents live in Conway Springs, know Cy and Connie, Dave and my brother were friends in high school. My mom worked at the bank in Conway and knew Pius from there. I work in the ER with Moni and years ago worked for the pediatrician Billy went to (probably have seen you naked--ha!). Even attended a Dallas game with Mike and Vicki long ago. Please take care, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and please put me on the list to babysit sometime. Also, please tell Mike and Vicki I said hello!! CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!

I'm so glad Pius is on CPAP now - way to geaux buddy!<BR/><BR/>Oh Moni-about the milk. I too was discouraged with my lack of output at first...give it time. I had all four babies freezers full at the NICU and filled up the freezer at the apartment within a month. Good thing cause I can’t keep up with them now (they are digging into my frozen stash) and I pump about 50 oz a day! And you are, well, how do I say this, more blessed (that sounds good) in that department than I am. You will be pumping out 8 oz bottles at a time in no time!<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

How sweet of you to shed tears with your sweetie pies. By the way, have Billy Joe brace himself for your hormonal storms. In your case they'll probably be tsunamis. It's delightful to hear that your princess is already wearing a gold bracelet (Billy's wedding band) and laying in a tanning bed. Be prepared for a high maintenance teeny-bopper. By the way, I got out a ruler and a 1 lb. 2.6 oz can of Campbell's soup. I know they're curled up and their weight is spred out and they're hugely cuter but, nonetheless, it felt soooo right. I look forward to holding your little darlings.
