Bright Light!


We are trying to teach the kids the difference between day and night. They do not care and keep finding ways to sleep all day long.

Finally!!


I finally got to hold my kids!! It took a little time to figure out how to hold them both at the same time but I got the hang of it with a little help from the chair and the nurses. This picture was taken about 1 hour after they were born.
