[j]

I did NOT expect to cry when I heard this news, but here I am with big fat tears in my eyes. Congratulations to your whole family.

Wonderful weights, and I'm sure Adam was just so surprised at being born that he needed a wee bit of help from the CPAP. When we were in the NICU, babies at that weight and gestation were out of the nursery SO FAST we didn't even get to make friends. Hoping he'll be off CPAP soon, and out of the NICU, and into his adorable nursery at HOME.

Can't wait to hear more details, and to see pictures. I've never before been so happy for a someone I've never met.

Woohoo!! Healthy babies in January.

[Sheri]

Big Huge Congratulations from the good ol' state of Maine.

Welcome Adam & Kate! The world is suddenly a better place with you here.

[Robin from TLOL]

*crying big happy messy tears*

So VERY VERY happy for all four of you! Hold both of those precious, strapping big babies close to you - you did it Tertia!

Wishing a very short NICU stay for Adam so that all four of you can be home where you belong really really soon.

Huge congratulations, and welcome to the world Kate and Adam!

[Brooklyn Girl]

Oh, hooray! Hooray!

Many happy congratulations.

[Shari]

Congratulations and welcome to the world Kate and Adam! What great weights...good job mom!

Hope Adam is bunking w/you and Kate very very soon...can't wait to see pics :)

[Catherine]

Congratulations to all of you. I think Kate and Adam chose some wonderful parents. Best wishes to all of you. Thanks for blogging -- you may have almost inspired me to have a second child (not quite -- but I am now considering it for the first time).

Catherine

[Woodys Girl]

Frantically wiping snot from my keyboard...

This is just the most wonderful news! Oh Tertia, you've DONE IT! Big healthy gorgeous perfect BABIES!!! As for that CPAP, it's probably only because Adam has been upside down all this time, with Kate kicking him in the head! LOL Crazy boy - has probably done this on purpose, to get a break from his sister. ;-) The sibling rivalry has started already. LOL

My heart is singing with joy this morning! Must phone my mother, to share the fantastic news. CONGRATULATIONS a million times over, my friend!

{{{huge happy hugs}}}

[Robin Slick]

Hey*
Like you, I'm nominated for Best New Blog and when I clicked on your blog, I was so excited for you that I no longer cared if I won this competition...it's yours, hands down.

I'm so very excited for you! I had three miscarriages before giving birth to my daughter and then a year of infertility.. and then guess what...three months later I was pregnant naturally with my son! Surprise!

My kids are now 17 and 18 and if you get a chance, you can read all about them in my blog.

Tertia, seriously, congratulations! My best wishes to you and your family. You've been through hell but I can tell you this from personal experience: You and your husband will now make the world's best parents. We wanted our babies more than anything in the universe, and our kids will grow up knowing that and with a special, glowing confidence and inner spirituality.

I can't wait to read more of your blog*
