Heinz Ketchup Had It Right...

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE THAT WAIT!

Today was a very special milestone for our family since the boys have been in the NICU. I have waited for this day since the boys were born and my dreams came true at least with one of the boys today. After 29 days of life I was able to hold Makaio for the first time.

It is crazy to think that our first picture with the boys will not be in a hospital bed with me looking like I just gave birth. What it will be is us in the NICU nursery, sitting in a chair, with our babies hooked up to a bunch of machines and everything will be closely monitored. But...I wouldn't have it any other way. Our beginning was completely unexpected and so different from what we had imagined but it is perfect for our family.

I love this! I am so glad you got to hold him, here's hoping little K gets a turn soon.
Thanks for texting me last night. I had such a hard day worrying and it meant a lot to me.

Oh Cylynn, I'm crying. That is so exciting. I think about you guys a lot and wish you were here in Rochester. Hopefully when the boys are big and strong we'll get to hang out!
