		<description>Wow!  I always knew you were a great writer, but you capture everything that has happened over the past week with such awesome imagery!  I feel like I was there! ;)  Sounds like you have some amazing support in your friend Lindsay and her friends that are letting you stay in their place!  I am so glad you finally got to have those initial special moments with your boys!  When Sean was born via c-section I didn&#039;t get to hold him for about 3 hrs. and I thought that was a long time...  You are so brave and strong!  Hang in there and congrats again!  Love, Kathy :)</description>

		<description>Sommer, 
Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment in your life with us.  You have brought tears of joy to my eyes.  I cannot express how happy I am for your family, I&#039;ve kept up through your journey over the past few years trying to expand your family and I cannot believe the day has come that you are finally holding the new lives you so desperately fought for.  I&#039;m sure all your children will feel that love for the rest of their lives.  They are fortunate to call you Mom.  Congratulations does not suffice.  

All the Best,
Michelle (Sapwell)</description>

		<description>Oh sweetie. I know it&#039;s an overwhelming experience. The boys are doing so AMAZING!! Wow. 5 days old and off billilights? No CPAP? That&#039;s incredible. 
Preemies are a special breed; they are tough little babies. I know they seem fragile but, trust me, they&#039;re very, very strong.
I know that first hold must have felt like forever and gone in an instant.
I&#039;m praying for you and your boys to be back home soon.</description>
