Beards for the Boys!

Standard

In honor of the good day both boys have had today (both Carter and Griffin are off their oscillators – for now and hopefully forever – Carter started his feeds and Griffin stopped his insulin) I thought I would share how Tim is bracing himself for the long road ahead!  Tim hasn’t shaved since the boys have been born.  And if you know Tim, you know that this is a big deal – he’ll have no choice but to be a mountain man for Halloween! 

Tim calls this his rally beard…he is doing it until both the boys come home as a visible reminder of their fight and need for love and constant prayers!  He says every time it itches he thinks about Griffin and Carter, and sends them messages to keep fighting. 

I just love this idea – so appropriate, given that the last time Tim grew his beard it was for the Sabres playoffs.  A sign of solidarity and a strong drive to succeed!  So if any men out there feel like tapping into their inner Paul Bunyans to lend a little strength to our two tiny men put those razors down!  But beware – this may be a while – realistically we know the boys have at least 2 and a half months of NICU time ahead of us.

    We’re in!!!! Strawberry just had his beard trimmed th other day – From this day forword, until the boys come home, I promise, I won’t let him have it trimmed or cut!!! He will be looking like Pual Bunyon in a month or soooo:) Promise to post pictures!!!

  3. I LOVE it (the beard!)!!! The news made my day (a good day for the boys). I sense that even tho Carter and Griffin are teeny tiny right now, they are strong little guys and feel the love around them.

    As you already know, Chris is in on this also. I think it’s a great idea for everyone participating in this to post pics of their beards too! 🙂
