I'm so happy for you and J! I think it's so cute that Liam looks like you and Silas looks like J! (At least to me - maybe it's the hair though!).
Adorable.
Many many many congratulations!
What a precious family. I am so happy for you.
Such blessings. They are just beautiful. And all that hair they have. I do hope you get to take them home soon. And it was so nice to hear from K. Such an amazing woman she is. Love the photos.

Niki, Josh & family,
It's 2:30am and I just finished reading your blog - the WHOLE thing! I started it this weekend at work and was instantly addicted. And for some reason, rather than just reading a few of the most recent posts, I needed to start from the beginning. I have so many things to say, but honestly don't really know how. I'll try to get just a few in, as it is 2:30am...
First, you may not remember me well, but I took care of Myles a few times during his stay in the NICU. I certainly remember Myles, though! He, as you so eloquently write, was an AMAZING little boy who defied so many odds and fought such an awesome battle! I remember how adorable he was, and so bright eyed, and how as I was helping Tanya take some of those great photos that we realized he had put a little chub on his cheeks and had filled out his face so handsomely!
Secondly, Niki, you are amazing on so many levels! Your writing is enthralling, your perseverence beyond admirable, and your courage awesome! (I'm having a hard time coming up with other adjectives :). I smiled, cried, and prayed anxiously while reading your posts, just waiting to get to the joyous arrival of the boys! Your story and insight has given me new perspective when it comes to life, parenthood (I became a mother 14 months ago), and my role as a NICU nurse. I am inspired to be better at these roles and will remember the things that were helpful/hurtful during this incredible journey!
Thirdly, Liam and Silas are GORGEOUS! I am so beyond happy that you and Josh have been blessed with these boys, and brothers for Myles! In the photo of you holding Liam (I think), I instantly thought he looked like Myles!
Fourthly, thank you for sharing your story! I can't for a second begin to imagine everything you've gone through, and I honestly wish I had known of your blog before now so that I could have prayed and wished and hoped with you through all of the trials and tribulations. I will surely continue to follow it now and can't wait to watch those handsome boys grow and change!
Fifthly, I will ALWAYS remember Myles!!!
Sorry if this turned into rambling! I wish you all the best as you bring your boys home. You and Josh have proven to be amazing parents already, to Myles, and I have no doubt that you will raise these boys wonderfully, too! And again, CONGRATULATIONS!
They're stunning!
Just gorgeous! I love it!
Lovely boys!!!! You and J look so happy.......I'm so thrilled for you both. I hope they get to go home soon!
Oh, they are so precious. Congratulations!
cutie pies! ain't that the truth! they are precious!!!
Your boys are giving my boys a run for there money. So so cute, what beautiful babies you three make.
