Hanging With Mom & Dad

So we showed up today with hopes of getting some pictures of Austin with his eyes open. Not only did we achieve our goal, but to our surprise, the nurses had put clothes on him! Dan and I both spent the day holding our boys and it couldn't have been nicer. Chase "desatted" (this means the oxygen saturation level in his blood reduced briefly, which is extremely common during this stage in life) a few times on Dad, giving him a heart attack, but that's par for the course and he recovered fine. Oh, and Dad is ok too...

Chase wasn't too photogenic today, but I'm sure this is just the start of us not being able to control these two!


Here's Dad hanging out with Chase. The boys have been moved into the older style isolettes that don't have humidity settings or portholes for us to get our hands in there. We're hoping for open cribs soon.
Austin is sleeping peacefully - with clothes on! Everyone must think we're strange to think that's a big deal, but these kids have been au naturale since birth.
Austin, still sleeping, but heading for some snuggle time with mom. He'll eat while being held. But not before we hold him up and admire this new look! Hopefully Austin won't be embarrassed that we all think his backside is even cute!




Ok, and here he is with those eyes wide open!
Finally, a Kodak moment Austin didn't sleep through!
