How ’bout TriceraTops for the hat?
Thanks for the shout-out!! I think it’s so cool that our kids have the same birthday. Clearly they are both destined for awesomeness. I have been listening to your podcast while nursing Robin in the middle of the night. Pretty fun!
Om goodness… I love your podcast. I have 4 kids ages 4,2,6m,6m. My twin girls were born preme and had to stay in NICU. I can not tell you how much a blanket or a hat means to us. I was unable to leave the hospital while they were in NICU and my husband was in Iraq, so blankets and hats were few and far between. We were given 2 hats and a couple of hospital blankets. The fact that life is presious and we are all sitting in a sterile and dark place it is awsome to think of people thinking of us and making something for someone they have never met. Your blankets weren’t in time for us but the whole idea… I just wanted t give you a big hugg and a huge thank you from all the people who will never get a chance. Thank you for everything… Sabrina
