Don't worry, not even my current kids agree with me. I'm sure my babies will grow up as good liberals.

You laugh now Fubar!!! My youngest daughter just graduated from college and is a card carrying liberal! A big campaigner for Obama even! On the one hand it's kinda fun because she's an educated liberal, is passionate about her beliefs and we have some GREAT political discussions. May at least one of the twins grow up with as much conviction as you have, but with opposite beliefs! It's a kick. Wink

You are so strong, Shawn...

I am praying for you guys constantly, and am thrilled to hear that 25 weeks have passed!! Don't think of it as choosing a lifetime of pain or the alternative....nobody can say the course of a preemie! Is it easy if they came early? No, but only GOD knows what is in store for them. I have told many a person in the NICU that you have to make the best decisions you can with the information you have AT THAT TIME. Trust always that you are making decisions with only love and their best interests at heart - because you are. If you know that, you will not make a wrong decision - no matter what the outcome.

I am praying for you, BIG TIME!!!!

Much love,
Carrie/Lizzie2

It is past midnight... so, we are officially at 26 weeks That's really good. The babies have a good chance of making it, and every day we get inside the womb is worth 3 days in the NICU (so they tell me). I think we are actually going to make it to the finish line.

Jen has gotten so many cards and letters, thank you everyone. It does help. We both appreciate it.

We're still praying. Sent a card day before yesterday. It should have gone last week, but I got sick and it was left at work where most of the staff and faculty at church and the school signed it. They keep asking about you all, and are praying for you both as a group and individually. Jerry

fubar Ex Member	Re: Babies update Reply #92 - Oct 17^th, 2008 at 12:29pm We are at 27 weeks (yesterday) and everything is looking really good. Jen is still in the hospital, of course. We had a growth scan yesterday, and the boys are looking totally normal. They currently weigh just over 2 pounds (2 lb 3 oz, and 2 lb 4 oz). Jen is still having a rough go, but hanging in there. Thank you everybody!
