Jessica and her wee-little ones

My BFF Jessica had her twin boys on Mon, 9/10. Asher Bannister, and Soren Carlton entered this world weighing a little over 4 lbs each. Jessica was having some complications and her OB had to deliver her boys 5 weeks early. Click here to see pictures of Jessica's beautiful, strong new babies - the new loves of her life!!

Jessica had to go through the terrible experience of leaving her boys at the NICU and going home alone with hubs Jamie. No one understands that heartbreak, not even if you've gone through it yourself - everyone's experience is different and unique and personal. Jessica does report, however, that the doctors have a very positive outlook and hope to sent the boys home in 2 weeks from their delivery date!!

Hi Amanda! First of all, I still can't believe we both had twins and that our babies have had to serve time in the NICU. My two week ordeal has been wonderful and difficult but I can't imagine month after month of like you said, asking for permission to hold your babies or breast feed them or worrying that your instincts are wrong b/c the nurses don't approve of how long you take to feed your babies. Sigh.

Jessica - I totally feel for you and this unimaginable and unexpected experience. I hope your beautiful boys are home by now. It just gets better from here. Hope to see more pics and hear from you soon!
