Congrats Maria! Such lovely little girls. So happy that they were born very healthy, and good sized too! Don't be afraid to SLEEP a bit because you won't have the nursery at your disposal when you go home.
LYD, sounds like either you or I are next!

Excellent news Maria!!! Sort of hoping I can follow in your footsteps next week sometime. I just started gett g the pubic bone pain too. Your girls look so peaceful! If you get a spare second I wouldnt mind hearing what made your doctor decide it was time.
I went to a baby shower today and did some light housework and it really made my legs swell. Been having contractions off and on but not so strong they are painful. Will be interesting to see on Tuesday if I am dilating.

Lyd-congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. I can't wait to see pics of your precious little one. Rest up.
Kerpupples-how are you feeling? I know these last few weeks are tough but if you can hang in there it will ultimately be better for your little ones. I can't tell you Joe difficult it was to see Katerina in an incubator and not be able to hold her. And that was only for 72 hours but it was the most heart wrenching 3days of my life. Do keep them cooking as long as you can.
AFM-I'm running on fumes but wouldn't have it any other way. DH and I are over the moon in love in love with the girls. I stare at them and I still can't believe they are here. I will try to catch up with the board. Sending you all my love...

Big congrats to you Lyd!!! She's small but not crazy small. Can't wait to hear more!
Maria - so glad to hear that you're home! My 3 year old spent 10 days in the NICU so I'm aware of how hard that is. It's even tougher when yu go home before they do. Doesn't look like they are coming soon anyway. I'm about the same. Some days are better than others. I'm 1/2 time at work now through the end of next week. If I make it that long I'll just take it easy at home until babies come.
We changed baby boy's name to Graham. We were getting some pretty rude feedback on Bruce (I honestly didn't want to tell anyone but DH kept blabbing). It made me uncomfortable and DH could see that. Graham is his middle name and we talked of using it before but he had balked. Now he has agreed. Only problem is that DD still wants to call him Bruce.

People never cease to amaze me. Really! What's wrong with Bruce? Let me guess, did they keep making rude Batman comments? Graham is cute too. Did you switch the names around to Graham Bruce or did you choose a different middle name? DD is too cute. There isn't any way to explain that to her!
Maria- The girls are gorgeous! I'm glad everyone is ok now.
Lyd- Can't wait to see Ellie! 6lbs seems small these days but really isn't! I was a 6 pounder and trust me I don't have any problem with my weight
