Happy 4th Birthday

The boys had a wonderful birthday, and they had a great party. They got lots of awesome stuff, but most amazingly of all, they turned into little boys overnight.

I completely forgot to post pictures, but I had to share these two. The evening of their birthday I made cupcakes and they each blew out a candle and we all sang. Jack sang for Summy, and Summy sang for Jack. It was so sweet!

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.
