…we became parents. And these were the most beautiful baby photos I had ever seen!
Our sons were born 5 weeks early, but we all survived and thrived. As I was coming out of the fog of an emergency C-section for Robin, our second born, Bruce handed me these photos and all I saw were 2 boys, each with 10 fingers, 10 toes, and pink healthy skin. I did not get to meet them in person until the next day.
Robin came home after a week, and Cameron(the Fritzer) came home 4 weeks after that. And they grew…
…and grew. And became the best sons any parent could ever want to have.
Happy birthday Fritz and Robin. You have made being a mother the very best job in the world!

I don’t feel old, I don’t feel old, I don’t feel old. I don’t! Wasn’t that seriously about — well — TEN years ago?! Why are you letting your ten-year-olds get married and go to college and stuff? I know they’re prodigies… but do you think they are ready?? After all, they just started learning how not to drool their peach-pin. This really gets me all

I was so much younger then! I remember it felt very surreal since it was the next day, and I didn’t think either of the babies would be able to leave the N.I.C.U. Then they wheeled Robin in for a brief visit.

I LOVE this! (It made me cry just a little bit). My life would have been so much different if none of this happened 29 years (and one day) ago. Thank you for bringing Robin and Fritz into this world and sharing Robin with me!
