The day we like to call, "Together again for the first time."
March 17, 2008 Miley was released from the Nicu (finally!). It was such a wonderful homecoming because Miley and Irelyn actually were able to "meet" each other for the first time since I had been pregnant. They had never been near each other in the Nicu. I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea how I would handle twins, let alone preemie twins. But, it was an amazing day. One we will never forget!
Ready to go home!
Proud parents
It is a funny thing. When we got home from the Nicu with Miley, Irelyn was in the pack-n-play. So, we put Miley right beside her and didn't know what to expect. They were drawn to each other like magnets. Squirmed right up beside each other. The cutest thing...really.
First time near each other- automatically drawn to each other
Later that evening
How I found them the very next morning
Later the next day
They just couldn't get enough of each other!! It just melts my heart!!!!
We will celebrate this day every year. We got them each a book to celebrate today. Excuse the grainy pics, my camera is acting up.
Mom wants us to cooperate and take a nice pic...yea right :)
And, I know, I know, I just blogged about this....
We are very lucky that Miley and Irelyn have done so incredibly well being born at 29 weeks. But, babies should not be born this early. No one...parent or baby should have to live the Nicu experience. March of Dimes is a wonderful organization that does everything they can to ensure that all babies are born healthy. Please help to sponsor me. There is a link at the side of my blog that you can click to donate. Any donation can help save babies!

What a wonderful Idea to celebrate this day for them. Being siblings is amazing, being twins is a blessing and being born premature and make it healthy and beautiful is a miracle. These little are made for each other. You are so lucky. COngrats on your wonderful family and loved following your blog. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
That is so precious! I just got a little teary-eyed looking at those pictures. What a great day to celebrate!
The pics when they first were back together are adorable...it's amazing to see how much they have grown! We are so lucky to have little miracle preemies with no problems:) See You at the Walk!
Oh my gosh that just melts your heart seeing those little ones so drawn to each other. What a wonderful day to celebrate. Gorgeous pictures.
Mo Bird, those photos warm my heart! I love that you are making that day one to celebrate. Love you and miss you!
This is the sweetest story ever!
I am so glad you commented on my blog, Kelly! I would never have found you otherwise. I love this story, and I love that you are doing the walk (so am I!!!)
That last picture of them when they were so young just melts my heart.
