Pictures!!

Here are a few pictures I snapped about 5 minutes after the kids were born. From here they were swept off to the NICU. We did get to see them later on. The docs said they were doing pretty well. The boys needed just a little help breathing (and Brandon needed some medicine), but the doc said the treatments weren't "agressive," more just a boost. They're all hooked up to tiny IV's for antibiotics and fluids, which is basically standard (proactive) procedure. But here they are when they were wild and free! I'll try to post some NICU pics today as well.

Your babies are just adorable! Nice that you were able to get some "wireless" pics of the kids before they got all their monitors attached in the NICU. They look so pink and healthy. Here's to wishing for a speedy stay in the NICU and that you are all home as a family soon! Grow, babies, grow!!!

I tried to leave a comment this morning but was not smart enough to...(and you weren't here for tech support!)
Ah. How astonishing! Couldn't be happier for you!

If folks want to send cards can you provide guidance? Your home? If not, which St. Vincents?

Best, Mary K.
