When: November 26th, 2008
Billy and I were back home but the twins were still in the Special Care Nursery, chunking up. Because of my blood pressure, I could only leave the house once a day so our time with the babies was limited. Being away from them when they were so small was really hard - especially with all those post-partum hormones ruling my body. So, you can imagine my reaction when I get to the hospital and see a little gift for me in each bassinet. One of the nurses has little costumes for each holiday and dresses up all the babies and does a holiday photo shoot. Here is what we got, all wrapped up in a little diaper:
I SWEAR that these are not photo-shopped - she really put them in these costumes, complete with Thanksgiving blanket as a background and turkey stuffed animal as a prop. I was a wreck - a happy wreck, but a wreck nonetheless. Even looking at them now, I tear up...I'm such a softie for these two!
OMGosh! that is the silliest and cutest pictures EVER.
ReplyDeleteJust finding your blog now through Cheryl...will have to read back to find out all about the history of your pregnancy & delivery (I'm a twin mama too)
Happy Whensday!
What a great NICU nurse that is! Amazing to have that!
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable! That is actually our twins' birthday! I, too, had BP issues, so going back and forth to BI's NICU was difficult, but I give THANKS for our little wonders every day as well!
