Amazing Visit to the NICU...
Saturday night's late visit included "Kangaroo Care" (Touch Therapy). The nurses explained that by putting the babies on our bare chests we were helping them stay warm and learn to tolerate touch (since they are still so young they are very sensitive) but we all laughed and agreed that this is WAY more therapeutic for the parents! I am holding Lily, Nick is holding Harper, and Sunday night we swap. Amazing!

You look amazing! And I am so glad you guys have finally been able to hold your daughters. I can't wait til I can come down and hold them!
Oh, my, Laura! My mascara is just running down my face. These are the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us.
LOL -- I just zoomed in on the pictures to get a better look at the girls -- did you notice Harper is flashin' a peace sign?
Very sweet.
Yay! The girls look great and I'm sure your loving touch is helping them even more! Thanks for the updates!
btw...I completely agree that a person's favorite songs say a lot about them and it's crazy we have so many favorites in common!
What joy I see on both of your faces!!! You really are parents.

Oh, this is just bringing tears to my eyes! So glad y'all are getting to hold them!!
I'm so excited you got to hold them!
Oh this is so awesome! God is good! Can't wait to see them again!
PS - Your hair looks absolutely fabulous!!
Laura, If I weren't in a classroom full of teenagers who are not studying for their exam tomorrow, I would just break down and bawl! I am so happy to see you and Nick holding your little angels. I am so blessed by your amazing attitude. I wished I had handled the NICU as gracefully, joyfully, and patiently as you! I will continue to pray for the four of you! Look forward to reading more updates!
