Okay, okay. Don't laugh. I know you may think that this is a strange topic for a post. But, I have to tell you that I was seriously wondering if the boys would have nipples. When they were first born, we looked and looked for nipples. They didn't have them. Really. I was a little freaked by it if you want to know the truth.
I started to wonder what their lives would be like nipple-less. Would they be ridiculed in the locker room? Would they have body issues and become male anorexics? Maybe they would try to overcompensate for the lack of nipples with freakishly large steroid-induced muscles? Would they be forced to live a life in the circus because of their unusual condition?
Chandler from "Friends" came to mind. If Chandler was ridiculed for having three nipples, surely the boys would face horrendous taunting for having none.
(A mother has to think of these things you know.)
Imagine my relief when the smallest hint of nipples started showing late last week. And now I am happy to say that today my boys have pencil eraser sized areolas/nipples! They are so cute. (Is "cute" the correct word to use to describe nipples?) Whew. Crisis averted!

On the eating front, weights are still increasing. Shawn weighs in at 5 pounds and 6 ounces. Now brace yourself. Jason weighs in at......5 pounds and 15.6 ounces! (I say we should just round up to 6 pounds!) I swear that today our little hefty boy had a double chin!!! Too cute.

You are hilarious!!!! I am glad the boys have nipples. Where is the picture for proof? You can relax now that you know they won't get teased in the locker room. :-)
Love,

Judy - thanks for all the support! Can't wait to see you at lunch soon!
Jen - now this is a family blog. I can't go posting nudes on here. What would people think? (Don't think that I don't have a picture, I just am not posting!) Plus, if I post their nipples online now, what would I have to hold over them later in life? I have to pace myself! :-)
And I am very happy they won't be teased!
I am reading back to your old posts...only a micro-premie mom can understand the fear of no nipples. I just smiled reading that because I can remember breathing a sigh of relief when they appeared as well!
