We are coming up on a week since the babes arrived. We have been so blessed. I never knew how much outpouring of love, prayers and help we could receive. I am overwhelmed, in every sense, from it all. We have been so lucky with the outcome of everything. The babes do nothing but get better each day.They have lost a little weight and are both under 3 lbs, but are truly making strides. I am amazed at how strong they are.
I want to be there with them every day. This week has been one of the craziest times for us. With the birth of the twins, and my brother getting married today. I was in the hospital till Wednesday and family things started yesterday. My kids have been shuffled around all week so I can recover and be with the babes at the NICU. My amazing sister took my kids for the days I was in the hospital and I am so glad she was here. Our kids play so well together and it made it so much easier on me to know they were doing well.
I know the time in the NICU will be long and hard, but I am so grateful for the help they are receiving while there. They are in such good hands and I can't believe how much can be done to get them better.
Here are my sweet babes:
Mac seems to be the feisty one. He is always moving, making noises, and can put out a good cry already.
I held him for the first time and he seemed to recognize my voice right away. It was sweet and of course means a lot to me.
Lily is sweet and calm. She is so chill and love to watch her sleep. When I got to hold her she just relaxed and barely moved. We have so many photos of her somehow and she seems to be such a poser already. So sweet.
And we can't forget about these two:
Such crazy cute kids!

I have to admit, I'm totally blog-stalking you! Your newest additions are soooo precious and tiny, I'm happy to hear that they are doing well.
I can't even begin to imagine all the emotions you guys must be going through right now. I am SO happy Mac and Lily are getting stronger everyday and I am so glad you have been blessed with so much help! Keep the details coming...I think about you all the time! I want to call but I know how crazy busy you are with everything, but know you guys are in my thoughts and prayers!
They are precious! I hope things continue to go well and the babies get to come home sooner thank July! You are amazing!
Jonna and Eric - To be honest with you it is difficult to see pictures as it brings back so many real memories for myself. That is definitely a difficult time (NICU). However, I can't imagine how much better the medicine and modern day technology is and has improved in nine years. Your babies are so beautiful. You will be surprised each day how much they progress. Know that our prayers are with you and your children. Get sleep now! Really, stop reading this and sleep. We love you! Guy, Erin, and the twins!
They are sweet! I will pray that they get to go home as soon as possible!
What precious little angels! I am so glad to hear they are improving everyday. Thanks for keeping us updated. I think about you and your family often.
