NICU Grad party

This was our fourth year attending the NICU party at St. Al's. As always it was SO wonderful to see all of the Dr.'s and nurses who helped our twins out when they had a rough start in life. They mean so much to Kyle and I, and will always have a special place in our hearts. They comforted us during some pretty scary times. It is amazing that they all still remember us too. I am sure they see a ton of people each year. We saw the Dr. and ultrasound tech's who took care of Kylie and Carson while they were in my tummy, she also stopped by to see us in the hospital when we had Lexy. We saw the Dr. who took care of them while they were in the NICU. He was so awesome. He stopped by to see me each day that I was in the hospital waiting for the twins to be delivered. He explained to us every detail of what to expect when they arrived. It was so reassuring to talk with him each day. And this is a picture of Kyle and Carson with nurse Amber. She was our favorite, and we loved when it was her shift. The twins were always dressed in the cutest outfits and their bedding was made up soo perfectly when she was watching over them. She liked to snuggle with them (especially Carson). She rocked them during the night, when I was not able to be there to do it. I will always be grateful to her and the other nurses for the love that they showed to our family. The memories are crystal clear!! Lexi enjoyed hanging out with daddy and watching the kids decorate their cookies
Everything was so sanitary! They had everyone wash their hands, and wear gloves to decorate their cookies.............where are Carson's gloves?

And where are Kylie's? They would not keep them on! We did disinfect the bottles when they finished.

This was their favorite activity of all. They fished for little toys. We all had a great time and it is so fun to get them all dressed up in their costumes each year. I think these people have some of the most rewarding jobs. We look forward to seeing them for many years to come =0)
