Spreading the Love

With all the excitement of the babies' birth, I didn't get to post about the visitors we had. Nick's parents (Grandaddy and Grandmama) flew in the day the babies were born which was Thursday and stayed through that Monday...it was so great to see them since it had been 2 1/2 months for me! Then on Friday, my dad surprised my mom and me. We knew he was coming but he also flew in the whole family(my brothers and their families). We were sitting in the hospital room and our nurse, Deb, came in wheeling a cot. I asked her why she was bringing that in and she said someone ordered it. Then I saw the lumps in the bed and a kid's head halfway uncovered. My four nephews and niece all jumped up and as you can imagine it was a very tear-filled reunion! Such a great surprise! Although they didn't get to meet their new little cousins (because of the NICU restrictions), the kids had a great weekend in Arizona with their Big Pop and GG. Here are pics from their trip.

Well, GG decided to go home this past week for a short visit, and Grandmama and Grandaddy are back for their second visit. Now they are able to hold the babies and are loving every minute of it! Our babies have the best two sets of grandparents that any kid could have....I can't wait to watch their relationships grow!

The babies are all doing so well....just doing normal preemie things and trying to grow out of that! Rocco is on full feeds now and so far is tolerating them very well. We can't thank you enough for all of your prayers. It has been so fun to hold each of them and try to learn their personalities. Sloan already loves to be pampered. She seems to be laid back and loves spa day (bath time)! Rocco is a sweetheart. He is the chunky one...at 3lbs 9 oz! Madden loves his daddy...at least that is what Nick says! But I'm thinking he's really going to be a momma's boy! And Jagger, well he is staying true to the fashion that he came into this world...everything on his own time!

I can't believe they are already 3 weeks old tomorrow. We loved them so much before they were here (even before they were conceived), but it is so incredible how that love grows even more when you hold their tiny bodies in your arms. Our hearts are SO full of love! I've often thought these last few weeks that if I love my children this much....how MUCH does my heavenly Father love me (us)...even MORE!?! Pretty incredible!

Love,

Kami
