Today's day in the NICU was absolute perfection. Ryan you made it through the night without oxygen and were still off by the time I got there. On top of that, after two days of no feedings (due to blood transfusion), they decided to slowly start you back on food. Instead of eating "big" amounts all at once, they decided to do a continuous drip of food, just 1 cc every hour. So, as soon as I walked in, your nurse asked, "Want to hold him before we start his feedings for the day?" This question still makes me chuckle - want to?! How would I ever not want to hold you two!!
So, I instantly got to snuggle you for nearly an hour and a half! I loved seeing all of your sweet face now that your oxygen has been removed. You seemed to like it too because you gave lots of sweet smiles today! At one point, we joked how you and your brother were teasing the nurses by constantly making the IV machine beep. As we were all laughing, you began "laughing" and smiling too. It was pretty hysterical.

As soon as I finished holding you, it was on to your brother. Wiley I then got to hold you for nearly an hour and a half! You were wide awake for the first several minutes. I loved watching your eyes try to focus on things around you. You too were super smiley today! I enjoyed making lots of ridiculous faces at you while you were looking around.

love those hands - always on your face

I could stay by your sides all day and all night if my healing body would allow it. Until then, I treasure every second I spend in your room!
