My First Post in FIVE years


The formatting is all screwy now and a lot of the pics from 2014 aren't visible. Can anyone help me fix this so that I can restore TwoToughTwins?

This is not an entry... just a placeholder for me to do something I have been tempted to do for years... bring back the blog. Here is why:

When Cam and Bro were born at 24 weeks and we had no idea what the future would look like for them... when I was that terrified mom in the NICU (I didn't really know what a NICU was before this all!)... I so desperately wanted a glimpse into the future to see how other kids born like this were progressing through life. Now my guys are the success story I encourage you to share with anyone you know going through pregnancy problems, prematurity, long hospital stays and serious procedures, therapy, and the ongoing specialist visits that significantly lessen but never end.

Cameron and Brody-though you have chosen to not look too much at the blog yet because you know that your beginnings were very hard and possibly too much for you to handle at this point, this blog is yours. This is your baby book. This is a reminder of how very lucky you are, how very lucky we are, to have you here with us 8.5 years later. Your story is so different than most other kids you know thus far in life and I could not be more proud of that difference. It is your badge of honor and always know how truly special you are. TwoToughTwins and now Instagram and Facebook will forever tell your story. You have inspired so many people and from my sharing on this platform many people going through challenges of their own have reached out for help. You were born to do amazing things. Always show the sensitivity you hope to receive, always help others who are less able than you, appreciate your gift and pay it forward.

Stay tuned for more.
