So far Emily loves being a big sister....probably because she doesn't know what it really means yet! I think to her it means that she gets to hang out with grandma and grandpa...which means she gets to watch movies as often as she wants. I'm getting worried that she's not going to want me to come back home!
Anyway, today she was allowed to go into the nursury to see the babies. I don't think 2 year olds and NICU's are meant to go together. She still doesn't understand that they are our babies but she had fun looking at them anyway. It was a little crazy having a very excited 2 year old trying to run around the quiet NICU. The nurses and other parents were really great about dealing with her noise and exuberance. On the way out Josh asked Emily "Are you a big sister" she says yes. He asks her "What's your baby brother's name" she says "Haley". I think it may be awhile before she gets this all figured out and that maybe it's a good thing that the babies will likely be coming home one at a time.

That's nice they let Emily in, we had a kind nurse that snuck Cady in once, but that was it!
My first C section I had a really difficult recovery. I hope you have plenty of help lined up for a few weeks, you'll need some assistance. I didn't have anybody to help me, but I only had one baby. It was still hard for me. Try to get rest while you can. I know it's hard right now.
Spencer was in the NICU for 5 days after he was born. I laid in my room and cried. I could hear all the other moms and babies, and I could only visit once in a while. Even though it was only 5 days, it really felt like forever, and coupled with another C section, I was really depressed. His I.V.'s kept blowing and they were going to put it in his head, which upset me, but he ended up being able to get rid of it altogether before that happened. Honestly, that time was probably one of the hardest in my life, I'm not sure if it was hormones or what, but I really struggled. I hope you're doing ok.
I wish I was close enough to help you out. I would come clean your house and hold babies so you could rest. You are going to be a busy mama!
Congratulations on the kids! That is so wonderful. I'm glad everything went okay and that you're starting to feel better. We're so happy for your family. You deserve the best! All our love ~the Weitzels
