Home At home with my boys...

Hi Forum Friends -

If you don't mind, I thought I'd share a few pics of the new brothers at home. We are thrilled to be home with both these amazing little boys. It's been a rough first week. I brought home the "Guat Tummy" and have been horribly sick. I haven't eaten anything since last Friday and just today have started feeling a little better. A trip to the doc resulted in a big dose of anti-biotics. Hopefully I'm on the mend now so I can enjoy my little guys.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with all of you waiting during this frightening time. I'll be here rooting you all on!

Hugs!
Barb
