Friday-First Family Photos

As these past few two weeks went by, I was having a hard time adjusting to the fact that I was a mom and that we had a family now. I had moments were I just wanted to see the boys right away-sometimes when I woke up in the middle of the night to pump so that the boys could get the nutrients they need. Sometimes I just wanted to be able to hold more than their little hands or feet - even though they have cute hands and feet!! I wanted to hold them and kiss their heads!



William holding mommy's hand!!


Theo holding daddy's hand!

Will's cute little feet w/ long toes like his mommy!!


Theo has little shorter feet just like his daddy's!!


All my angst was made better the beginning of the week when Ryan and I were told that both of the boys had their umbilical lines out and we were able to hold them!!

Ryan and I had our first physical contact w/ the boys through a method known as "kangaroo care". This means skin to skin contact under clothes. I was so nervous, but once holding Will for the first time I just melted and relaxed right away!! Ryan loved holding Theo too!! The next day we switched which boy we held!!



Mommy and William - he wanted to keep looking at me instead of sleeping!!


Mommy and William - after he finally fell asleep!!


Daddy and Theodore - he kept smiling and laughing - it was sooo cute!!
