Having just posted about my twins, I thought I'd share with you the first time I did Kangaroo Care with Tate and one of the first times I held Reese. Tate was 3 weeks old (pic taken 3/11/07) and Reese was 4 weeks (pic taken 3/17/07) old in these pictures. They didn't even weight 2 pounds at this point. They were just little bitty things. The first time I got to hold Tate chest to chest (hence called Kangaroo) was such a wonderful feeling. They made me wait a little longer to do KC w/ Reese for the fact she was just so tiny. Being a mother of preemies, I felt very robbed of all the normal things moms get to do when their baby's are born. These babies are true miracles and we thank Jesus for them each and every day.

Your babies are beautiful. I'm sorry that you had to go through such a difficult time with them, but what a lovely miracle to have a part in.
That is so sweet and truly a blessing from God!
Such precious babies!!
They are such little miracles and so blessed to have great parents like you guys. God must have wonderful plans for them.
There's nothing like holding little babies close to you! How sweet they are! And I can see how you are smiling with joy.
Remember to look at these pictures often when they are teenagers!
Wow, so amazingly tiny yet perfectly made!
Oh, they are so tiny! God has given you two beautiful miracles!
What beautiful sweet miracles!
Beautiful!
Totally brought me back to our days in the NICU too.
Funny, I was just talking about it w/a co-worker and then went to your blog and saw the pix.
Well, isn't it amazing to see how far they've come?
What tender moments!
My first baby had to go to the NICU right after her birth...I didn't even know whether or not she was still alive! I also felt kind of "cheated" out of a normal birth experience, but there is always a plan, isn't there?
I'm looking at these photos again today and I just can't get over what a miracle they are. God has big plans for them just like he did with Emily.
