This morning Addyson and Braden were moved out of the NICU and into special care on the 3rd floor! They are both in a room that they have all to themselves! It is so much quieter and darker and they seem to really like it! It feels so much less like a hospital ward - there is even carpet on the floor!!
Ryan and I each got to hold both our twins at the same time! It was so cool - this is the first time we've been able to do that. Addyson and Bra
den seemed to like it too - they put their heads together when Ryan got them together for the first time since they were born over 3 weeks ago. They must have missed each other!!
We went a little earlier in the day because of the weather so for the first time in a month we saw it get dark! It was before the time change the last time we saw the sun go down.
Here are some pictures of what our special care room looks like. I think we'll really like it - we have so much more privacy. We made it through the sleet and snow to see them. The electricity went out for a few hours last night because of the storm - we were so glad Addyson and Braden were getting good care at the warm hospital instead of in our cold house!
Here's a video too!
Praise the Lord! I'm so happy for you guys to finally get to have your twins together and hold them both at the same time. The pictures are so neat, it brought tears to my eyes. I had to have Theo come look, too.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are definitely moving up in the world! What a great room, and how nice for the twins to be reunited and held close to each other. I bet they did miss each other! God is so good, all the time! I think He is answering our prayers, one day at a time. Christy, have a great time at your baby shower tomorrow!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know it's a good thing that I am usually alone when I read this thing because I fell apart tonight watching Christy hold the kids for the first time! So, so happy for you and can't imagine what you were both feeling. Thank you Lord for blessing my baby brother and his beautiful wife with 2 babies!
