We visited this morning and got to hold both babies which is starting to make it seem more real. They did open their eyes when we were talking to them...we claim it is because they already know our voices and love us. Virginia was quiet and snuggly all day. And no surprise that John was into everything and has managed to discover how to take everything off of him. He is just testing these nurses to make sure he gets enough attention.
They had a big day with a lot of visitors....both sets of grandparents, great Aunt Patty, great Uncle Ken, Aunt Kelly, and Aunt Ashley! What a day!
Our new favorite picture...the only one so far of both of them! John is on the left and Virginia is on the right.
The first holding time for both of us!
The first holding time for both of us!
Please don't pay attention to my greasy hair...that is what 3 days of no shampooing will do to you. Joe claims I have winter hair...hopefully I will get some color back into now that I am free from prison and can go outside whenever I want to!!
Virginia all snuggled up on her tummy. She loves the pacifier!
Joe with his new buddy John...too cute!
The nurses made us cute signs for each baby.
She is already a lover of pink and green...and I had nothing to do with it!
Virginia showing off her eyes! Don't worry about the head...it is just her IV.
Wow, you guys are amazing! I was hoping for more pictures, but I can't believe you've had time to take them and post them! John and Virginia are absolutely adorable (no surprise!) and I'm glad to hear they are doing so well. It's so good to see you two holding them. Enjoy every minute, and it only gets better, too!

Oh my goodness---I just love them! It is so amazing to see them snuggling and the teeny tiny hiney in the air while sleeping! Keep resting as much as you can, Mommy, and I am so happy for you all!

You all are so good to keep us updated...I love the pictures that you posted. Parents are glowing (and it isn't from lack of shower, its from love) and the babies look so peaceful. I want to kiss those little fingers and toes :)
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, Allison! Not that we didn't know that already, but with all the excitement, visitors, recovery from surgery, only you could manage to post all of these wonderful pics & details for your adoring fans. God bless all four of you! John & Virginia are such miracles proving that good things come to those who wait. Karen
ReplyDeleteVirginia and John are precious! Thank you for sharing the pictures so quickly. It is so sweet to see the family picture. We are thrilled for the entire McCrary Koontz gang. Love ya, Jessica
ReplyDeleteI could just eat them up with a spoon. It won't be long until they are home snuggling with those precious bottoms in the air while napping on your chest. It is the best feeling ever. I might have to come take a nap with them when they get home myself. Hugs and kisses times four! Love you guys!!
