The adventures of tader baby: Sunday wrap up

Thanks for allowing me to share my backlogged pictures of the boys this week. We went apple picking today after the rain cleared, and I took what narrowly misses out on being my favorite shot of the boys. I'll share it later this week after I edit the pictures I took.

Secondly, I'd love it if you'd consider nominating my blog for the nest mommy blogger awards. I don't know which category you think would fit best: multiples, or special needs. Click this button to nominate me.

As a reminder, the divine caroline award is still up for vote, please click here to vote for my blog in the category of parenting.

The story of how the tader tots came to be

When I started this blog, I originally thought it was going to be a taderbaby...we chose the nickname after the delicious spuds served at Young's Jersey Dairy...but quickly found out it was tader tots! At 28 weeks gestation my placenta started abrupting and I was briefly hospitalized, then put on strict bedrest. At 31w 4d I was let up for an hour a day. At 32w on the dot, I was re-admitted for bleeding and began a four day fight to stop labor which I lost on 2.15.07 when Jack's placenta abrupted fully. If I hadn't been at the hospital, we wouldn't have made it. Upon birth, Jack's apgar was 3. The boys spent 4 weeks in NICU and this is their story, and mine.

I was checking to see if your "Sunday Wrap Up" was a 'theme day'. I host a monthly list of "Theme day('s)/carnivals/memes. Sept.'s list was posted last Fri.

I sincerely hope that this does NOT offend you - when I read the "tader baby" part of your blog's name, it reminded me of Ron White's (from Blue Collar Comedy Team) "Tater Tot" ;-p
