Fay A. Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 My kids are not yet married, so I don't have Grandchildren. But I have recently become Great Aunt to triplets: identical twin boys and a baby girl born a several weeks ago. Babies are tiny-between 2 lbs 3 oz, and 3 lbs 10 oz-but all have been breathing on their own since about day 6, and they continue to thrive. Another affirmation of the cycle of life, and I feel blessed to have been able to see these beautiful children enter the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellakc2 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Congrats Fay, I also have twins and triplets in my family. It's one heck of a trip. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi Fay, Wow triplets, I guess that will keep you busy helping out there. There was an article in the paper of a couple that had two identical boys born and 1 girl. They said that is so rare. Have fun with the babies Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I adore babies, can kiss the side of their heads until they are bald. And you get to do that times 3. The best news is they are breathing on their own. Sure hope the parents have stored extra sleep. Enjoy them Fay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Fay, this is wonderful! Seeing new babies always reaffirms my faith that God blesses us every day!

hopeandstrength Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 That's so wonderful, Fay! I'm a Labor and Delivery nurse and I never get tired of seeing and holding those babies! My two children are 11 and 7 and although they are still my babies...it's fun to go to work and hold the teeny ones! Have fun with them, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaffie Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 First of all congrats on the babies You mention the affirmation of the cycle of life. I had that feeling when my father was losing his battle with lung cancer. I have 3 sons and a grandson, there were no little girls in my life. One month to the day before my father passed away I was blessed with a little grand daughter She is the light of my life, I've always found it amazing that she was born right before my father passed over, just when I needed her. I have a very special bond with her. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
