Ok, so there wasn't a whole lot of interaction going on between the siblings, but it surely felt good for us. After the nurses all went giddy upon seeing Graham again, they informed us that kids under two were not allowed in the NICU. But, they were making an exception for us today as it was the first time we were all together since day two of life, and the first time we were able to hold them both at the same time.
Thanks, we said. Now take our picture.

Simone has increased her feeding past 15cc, which means she is getting enough nutrients from the breast milk that she no longer requires her PICC line (which was really just a more permanent iv line). The nurses removed it from her arm while we were there, and it provided us with a sense of progression; it's one less thing tapped into her body.
Our babies will be so lucky, as they have plenty of loving family to surround them. Shown here is Simone with her Great Grandmother. She has two complete sets of great grandparents!
Are you having fun with out me?
