From NICU to home...pic memories

Finally, I have copied all the pics off my phone so here goes a quick memory lane glance of the last 7 weeks...the twins are 7 weeks old today...adjusted age (if basing their birth date on 20th October rather than full term date as 17 November) about 2 weeks old...

Kangaroo care in NICU...
 
Holding them together for the first time...

Learning to suck!
Learning to burb

1 Month in NICU!
When I got the call to come fetch the babies!
All packed and ready to leave NICU!
At home!
Finn happy to be home!
Rebecca smiling - also happy to be home!
First sleep in their cot in our room!
Puppy baby!
Sleeping in our bed!
Brother and sister - so cute.
Big eyed boy.
Beautiful girl!
Little cuties...

7 Weeks old today!
In their futuristic Mammaroo Pod!


Back 9 months ago to when it all started...wow...





It has been an incredible journey so far.  Far harder than I thought it would be but far more perfect than I could ever have imagined. I still look at these babies and can't believe that we have created such perfect little people.  Who cares how, they were always supposed to come to us this way. I will treasure every moment, even the bleak hours in the middle of the night.  The milky grins and glazed stares are all I need to keep going. And what special times await us...their first smiles, their grasps, chuckles, hugs...we are so blessed to be the parents of these little miracles.

  1. What a wonderful trip down memory lane! I got tears in my eyes - what perfection they are... That picture with Finn with his hands so protectively over Rebbeca's heart *melt*...

    Its amazing how these little souls heal us in ways we didn't even know we were hurt.

    SO happy for you and your tiny perfect beings.
