A HISTORIC ELECTION DAY.
I voted. I am thankful that I have that opportunity. I love our country.
But my most thankful vote today goes to Lincoln.
Meet Lincoln and Cooper:
(Lincoln is praying to return to his warm cozy bed in the NICU).
Our friends Dave and Ginger had their twins arrive early. They are now 10 days old.
After struggling for years to conceive, a difficult pregnancy and an even more difficult delivery, things are finally looking up for our sweet friends. These two little guys are certainly a prize!
Ginger needed help getting to the NICU today to feed and hold the babies and I was able to go with her. What a privilege!
Lincoln and Cooper are absolutely adorable and so sweet.
I got to hold and feed Lincoln today and it was t h e B E S T ! ! (That is why Lincoln wins my vote for today!)
Returning to regular life was a bit difficult after holding and loving little Lincoln today; I could have stayed in the NICU forever.
Ginger is doing much better than she was last week and I am truly grateful for that as well. I am also grateful to have the opportunity to see her as a mother. I kept looking at her holding Cooper, it was such a beautiful sight to behold!
There is so much to be thankful for tonight.
***The photos were taken on Halloween by a friend of our friend Debbie, who works in the NICU. We thought it would be fun to commemorate their first official Halloween, so we supplied her with the bibs and treats. The comparison between the babies and the candy bars is amazing.
That is just awesome!
