First.....YOUR new pic is wonderful!! I hadn't seen it until just now!!
Our last baby, my DS (only boy!) who is now 13, was born almost two months early, because I had a very rare disease. We had to take him a.s.a.p. Anyway......he still managed to weigh 8 lbs 5 oz at birth and was 21" long! Small wonder he's now 5'9" and only 13!
But he was also in the NICU for a week, very sick little boy. It was just so darned embarrassing to go in there to visit him....this huge "butterball turkey" boy in the incubator.....alongside all these teeny-tiny little babes! I wanted so badly to post a sign that said "But he really IS sick!".
Now, when the teens are at eachother's throats, I often have to stop and remind myself how badly we wanted them....and how blessed we were!
Before we moved we had a great babysitter! Rachel was 16 (now 17) and has a boyfriend who is 22 
No worries there...because she has taken him with her on a few of her babysitting gigs and she says THE BEST form of birth control is two little tots, both under 3 running around after their snack!!! 
Maybe I'll go up to Target and see what I can find.
