My twin nieces came home on Thursday (FINALLY!) after a month long stay in the NICU. Hubs and I finally got to see them for the first time today. Since it’s my Hubs’ birthday tomorrow, he said seeing his nieces was the best birthday present he’s ever received. Aawww….
My Hubs was smitten the first moment he laid eyes on them. Just call him Uncle Sucker from now on b/c those girls are going to walk all over him.
But I suppose that’s what uncles are for… So it’s all good.
Allison. My BIL said she’s a good sleeper during the day but a screamer at night. Good times.

Whitney. My BIL says that she is a good sleeper at night and she’s bright eyed during the day.
Me holding Allison. (Notice the iPhone on my lap. It’s never out of my sight.)
Hubs’ taking pictures of me holding Allison in mid tweet. Multitasking at its finest! (L). Allison has the tiniest hands and fingers but a very firm grip! (R)
Hubs and Whitney. I’m swooning.
Me holding Allison. I love how Hubs is cradling her head. *heart flutter*
I felt many different emotions seeing them for the first time. Joy, anxiety, happiness, nervousness and an overwhelming desire to nurture, protect and sing a lullaby. It’s amazing how quickly that instinct kicks in. They are the MOST BEAUTIFUL babies I’ve ever seen.
I’m sure all aunts feel that way about their nieces, eh?
But mine really ARE the most beautiful. Yup. It’s a fact. Just ask Snopes.
