First Hold!!!!!!!!

Wow, what an unbelievable experience for us, as parents, to see all of our kids together for the first time! When we went to the NICU on Sunday, our amazing nurse, Ann, helped us to arrange for Mia to hold her siblings for the first time. We weren't sure how Mia would react, but she was an absolute rock star! She was so sweet & gentle, and looked down at them so inquisitively. You could almost see the older sibling pride coming out! Then she smacked them both in the head. No, just kidding, that didn't happen! Although it wouldn't have surprised me after all the separation and trauma their arrival caused Mia... It was so incredible for us to see them all together and maybe just a bit scary to see how many kids we're now responsible for! They are doing so well that the NICU nurses told us to expect them home later this week... Can't wait, but yikes!

PS. Aubrey is one chubby little girl, huh?! They have almost doubled their weight, and are now approaching 6 pounds each... Wow!
