I am so sorry you are missing your babies. Just keep thinking of all the fun they are having at grandma and grandpas!!!

I hop you get better soon.
(I had back surgery ~ noninvasive type, last January. I was told not to lift anything over 5 lbs too. Moose was 6 lbs at the time. My Doctor it was ok to lift him if I was careful. I guess I was lucky) Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
