Snuggle Bug!
This video is darker, but this is how dim the light has to be for the girls to be able to open their eyes.
I was touching Sophia's head and she reached for my hand once again. She knows who her Mama is:)! Not only did Sophia look right into my eyes, as well as, study the camera carefully, but when she was ready to rest... she turns and nuzzles my hand and falls to sleep! IT WAS SOOOO SWEET!
The best Mother's Day present ever!
Happy Mother's Day
Sisters... side by side!
Sophia, with the pink blanket,
has to have her arms hanging out all the time:)!
Can you see her arm hanging out???

iiiExcitement!!!
Tyler was so excited he forgot to use his inside voice! The girls handled it great!!!! The beeping at the end is because Sabrina's foot monitor came off, no need to be concerned. ;)
THIS IS A VIDEO!
Tyler's calming touch!
After some clean up Sabrina began to cry. But, notice how as soon as Tyler touched Sabrina's head she calmed and turned toward her big brother for added comfort!!!!
THIS IS A VIDEO TOO
Tyler got to meet his sisters today!!!
We couldn't wipe the smile off!!!!
He was over joyed!!!!!!
He was so curious to see Sophia's feet!
Gentle, gentle as can be.

The girls have since been moved to their own room. A new baby moved in to their old spots and his crying distrubed them and my girls were moved to their own room;)! They are both back on CPAP, but I understand it so much more and it makes life much easier for them. Although it might look uncomfortable, they are more uncomfortable with the CPAP!
My mother travels back in the morning and Aaron is back to work. Beth is still here to my rescue. The boys are doing great and I am healing up wondefully! THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!! I love being home, taking care of my boys and being taken care of so well! THANK YOU BETH AND MAMA!!! I don't know what I would do without them!!!

The results are in!!! The results are in!!!
Sabrina Star and Sophia Brooke were born at 7:57pm and 7:58pm, April 21st, 2008!!!! Both of my baby girls weighed in at 2 lbs and 3 oz. Sabrina is 14 3/4 inches and Sophia is 14 1/4 inches. They are both fighters and have overcome leaps and bounds since their delivery!
Sophia experienced some issues with her heart and lungs, the meds worked and all is progressing very well. We were not sure if the meds would work or if Sophia was going to make it past the first day. She has overcome and is now right up to par with her sister!!!
They are not out of the woods being that they were born at 27 3/7 weeks, but today they are 28 weeks gestation!!! They also had a test where the Drs looked at details in their brains. Many times at this age babies will have a bleed in their brain, and both girls look good!!!
Sabrina has a heart murmur, but after some tests the Dr has decided that they will wait to see if it heals on it own. If it does not, they will medicate. Worst case, she would need heart surgery. Because she is doing so well, this gives Doc the confidence that it will take care of itself. My girls are so strong!
After Aaron’s visit to see the girls this evening the nurse gave him some more great information! She said that girls might be going to the next NICU where babies go after they have progressed to a more stable situation. She said we should not be surprised if they make the change in the middle of the night and we arrive to visit and they are in a different place.

WHAT A SPECIAL SURPRISE!
The nurse also mention that Sophia had a rough start, but since she has progressed so well, she may pass Sabrina’s progress because of her kick start!!!
AMAZING!!!
Both are being tube fed and their tummies are handling it really well for their age.
WE ARE SO PROUD OF THEM!!!
We have been able to hold Sabrina and will hopefully be able to hold Sophia tomorrow!!! We have to be careful and cautious at each visit depending on the type of day they had. We get what we can and enjoy every second of it!
Photos below...
1. Daddy with Sabrina! His first time holding her!!!
2. Sabrina holding Daddy!!!!
3. Mommy holding Sabrina for 1st time today!!!
4. Sophia reaching for Mommy as Mommy began to pull away... She reached up and out about 90 degrees to let me know she didn't want me to leave yet! 5. Sophia fell back asleep after I rubbed her head for a few min. You can tell she is relaxing!!!
6. Sophia holding Daddy's hand!!! He admits already it is different because they are girls! He has a special instinct to protect them!!!!!!!! SO SWEET!!!!
