The day finally arrived. We brought our baby girls home. Exactly two months from the day they were born Harper and Lily were strong enough to be brought home with us. So far, being a mother is every bit of the dream that I have always imagined. With every cry I get excited because I know they need something and I am the one to give it to them. Each time I feed them they stare at me the most intense stare I have ever been a part of. Watching them sleep I get tears in my eyes because they no longer have tubes and wires attached to them and I know that they are experiencing peace in a way that they have not been able to experience before... quietness, comfort, closeness, and hope.
Today I have had them all to myself with the exception of a visit from their "Moomps" (my mother) who stopped by to admire them and fancy me. I was so excited for my own mother to come and see me being a mother. I have never felt so proud to show off what I believe I am doing better and with more purpose than anything I have ever been assigned to do before.
Here are a few pictures of the girls at "home."

I have no doubt you are the most amazing mother...you already have been through your patience, undying love and positivity even when they weren't in your sole care.
