Welcome Home Twinados!

We are home with our twinsies and loving life!! We have not figured all this out yet, and by "all this" I mean any of this, but we are definitely having fun with the boys and their big sister. The NICU didn't co-bed the boys, so their first night at home with us was their first time to share a bed, unless you count my womb as a bed! Rooming in was a great experience. It was so fun to have the boys all to ourselves. To get to play with them and let them hang out together on our big bed.

And take lots of pictures of them together looking so cute and so different. It is hysterical to me that my doctor was convinced that the boys were identical when he was looking at them in the operating room. These boys are so not identical.

I wanted to remind them what they had been like for so many months in my tummy. Probably a little more comfy for Sam without my ribs in the way of his bootie up there!

The boys last night in the hospital!Ready to head home. (I wore this shirt the day that we came home with Laney too. It is my "bringing babies home shirt")

Todd's shirt also holds some obvious significance!

They looked like such little specks in their carseats. Our carseats are hand-me-downs, because we are so super lucky. My life long best friend Becca's sister had twins 10 months ago and she let us borrow so many of her things. We are so super blessed. You can see Melissa and her sweet family and precious twinsies at their blog. I ordered matching carseat covers for the boys from a super cute Etsy site, but they didn't come in time for my little preemies. We have gotten them now and I love them!
Let's Go Home!!!!

I was so excited to see Laney and introduce her to her brothers. We were a little worried that she was going to resent the boys and be angry at them. She has not acted that way at all. She loves them and wants to be near them and playing with them at all times. She has no bad feelings toward them at all. That is not to say that she is not struggling a bit through this transition. She is really on edge and melts down at the drop of a hat. She has been much more whiney and disagreeable than she has ever been before. We are certain that this is normal and don't expect it to last very long. She is such a sweet girl and even in the midst of all this craziness, we are still seeing lots of that precious personality that we love so much!
Laney immediately wanted to start taking care of "her babies" She brought them both diapers.

And tried to give them both bottles. (she was very well supervised during all this care taking)

She gave them their passies.

We really want Laney to feel like she is an active and important part of everything that is changing in our family. She is totally on board with that!! Helping Daddy change a diaper!Laney with her littlest brother Sam! She LOVES holding them! And kissing them!

Sam and Miles finally got to meet their cousins. I have really been missing my nieces and nephew and it was so great to finally see them.

Yesterday Laney got a chance to hold Miles. She definitely calls both boys Sam, which is pretty funny.

She wanted to give Daddy a hug while she was holding her baby.
