We went to the NICU this evening. I was a bit nervous, Kevin stayed down in the waiting room with Michael and Noah since they aren’t allowed in the hospital. Anyway, I go upstairs and the nurse is getting ready to feed Andrew and Daniel. So she says, “Do you want to Kangaroo?” I’m like YEAH! Ok, I guess I should explain, Kangarooing is basically skin on skin contact. So I sit there and they put both Daniel and Andrew on my chest. OH MY! It was so awesome! I could have sat there and cried!! Daniel was rooting the whole time! That made me feel wonderful! The nurses were glad to see that too. Andrew just chilled. They are still feeding them through a tube that runs down their nose to their stomach, while they feed them, they put a paci in their mouth so they get the sucking motion and the feeding at the same time.

I just had to share with you…it was so wonderful!! The nurses did get me a few pictures…I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get them scanned into the computer to share with all of you.

From my initial look, I believe they are fraternal twins. Daniel has the same hair color as Noah and Andrew’s hair is the same as Michael’s. That alone makes me think they are fraternal. Now, I could be totally off here, but that’s just my initial thinking! We’ll see when they get a bit older to see if they look more alike or not.

Daniel: 2 pounds 12 ounces
Andrew: 2 pounds 9.6 ounces

I feel…: loved
