I Wanna Hold Your Hand

All the babies have the CPAPs off of them, and now you can see more of their characteristics. They are all taking food through tubes now, so we should start to see some growth on them.

Yesterday we were able to hold Nate for the first time, and it was pretty darn cool. He's a small little guy, and the nurses just laid him on our chest for some skin-to-skin contact. He stared at us for awhile before falling asleep, and he felt so precious laying on us like that. (Kim and I took turns, he's not big enough to span the two of us ;)

We have some more pictures, but they were all starting to look the same with all the tubes and what not, so now that those are off, we should get some photos with actual facial features and expressions.

It is very quiet in the babies room without all the breathing aparatus going as they were a couple days ago. Kim and I are working on our laptops as we wait for their feeding and changing times.

More to come later... and I'll put pictures up, I promise.
