Today was a big day for the kiddos. First, they got to meet their Daddy. Take a look. Here's Jeff with Jenny Lynn:
And with Kaden (Jeff's the sliver of green to the right. So much for trying to multi-task by holding a baby and taking a self portrait):
They were both angels for their first meeting with Daddy, sleeping peacefully throughout. I think that they are laying low, biding their time for a major crying jag just as soon as we get them out of the hospital.
Second, it was a big day because they each tired a bottle for the first time. Jenny took to the bottle right away. Yeah! And our little champ decided to make everyone work for it: "Why go through all the extra effort when I can just lie here and let you feed me through a tube? Peel me another grape, please."
But the nurses were having none of that nonsense. After indulging him at 7, 10, and 1, by 4 they decided enough was enough. And after a little "persuasion", he did it!! (I won't tell you how they got him to take to his bottle; it may violate the Geneva Convention.) Good job, buddy! After about 1-1/2 oz, he promptly fell asleep. Sucking down that much formula is tough work for a little guy. While today was a success with the nurses, my guess is that tomorrow he's going to make his Daddies suffer trying to get him to eat.
And just before all of this, the babies and their Daddies got a surprise visit from their IVF guru, Dr. Shivani.
Here she is with Kaden:
And with Jenny Lynn and Jeff:
We are very thankful to Dr. Shivani and her team at SCI for making our dreams of being parents come true (twice over).
And, as I tell Jeff a bit too frequently, she's got many more of our frozen embryos just waiting for a word from either of us, so don't p*ss me off. ;-)
