Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat, I've been a NICU nurse for over 30 years. I've seen quite a bit of change in NICU practices! I'm so sorry you and Noah and Grace have had such an extended ordeal. I never had kids and I think that working in the NICU since I was 21 was a major contributing factor to that decision.

I can see that. One of the nurses N&G had was 8 months pregnant. She was delivering at the hospital. Her fervent wish was that no one from the team would have to attend her delivery. One of the night neonatalogists did though.
She named her son Noah too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. I just thought of ita, too. [link] Crossposted because I'm ridiculous.

See, I let the Man Band slide on by, Cowgirl.
msbelle, that is hysterical. I wish it were prettier, somehow, because I'd totally use it.
We had plants growing in torpedo shells at our place in Jamaica. Very terribly strange. They were there when we bought the place...

I just wanted to make sure that everyone had the opportunity to experience Mission: Man Band. MAN. BAND.

hah! I went to look in today's UG catalog to see if that was what prompted both of you. Not in mine, but I was just perusing it.

My parents' umbrella stand is a brass ammo shell/casing of some sort (looks like a 3 ft bullet casing.) I'm not sure if it is WW1 or WW2. Makes a great umbrella stand. My dad used to love plundering army and navy surplus stores, mainly for the optics, but he picked up other neat stuff along the way. We've got all sorts of repurposed objects. We have a lamp that's made up of a propulsion device radiator core. You wouldn't know it.

I can't tell you how many kids of co-workers I've taken care of. All but one of them did fine eventually.
On the bright side, one of the sickest kids I ever took care of (and am still in touch with) turned 30 in July. I'm happy but feeling rather old. I have her permission to share her early story and pics. Here they are.
I love Noah's and Grace's names, btw. My nominees for worst all-time twin names are Alfred & Alfreda and Elvis & Elvira.
ETA: I just followed my own link. Oh, to be that thin again!
