The adventures of tader baby: Professional Pictures!

We were blessed that a friend, Alison Janki, was able to take newborn pictures of Truman. Alison and I used to work together , as she taught kindergarten (at the school I teach at) when I first started. She did an AMAZING job taking pictures of Truman, these are just a few. To see more of her amazing work, be sure to check out her blog and website.

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.
