While I was holding Sophia, Meghan was able to hold Madelyn for the second time in one day. When the nurse handed Maddy to Meg, she was kind of laying sideways, across Meg's chest. Since she seemed to be doing so well in that position, they left her alone. The real benefit to having her lay in that position is that Meg could just sit and stare at her tiny preemie features for an hour. Priceless.
Meg and I took turns taking some video of each other, but I slept at home for the first night last night and the video camera is still at the hospital. I'm going back there this afternoon and will try to work on getting the video uploaded.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with a very sweet and relevant poem I received yesterday.
SO MANY GOOD THINGS COME IN THREES,
LIKE MUSKETEERS AND ABC'S.
BUT TRIPLETS ARE THE BEST OF ALL
EVEN THOUGH RIGHT NOW WE ARE QUITE SMALL.
LIKE MUSKETEERS AND ABC'S.
BUT TRIPLETS ARE THE BEST OF ALL
EVEN THOUGH RIGHT NOW WE ARE QUITE SMALL.
SIX LITTLE HANDS, SIX LITTLE FEET
WE KNOW YOU THINK WE ARE VERY SWEET
SIX LITTLE ARMS WANT TO HUG YOU REAL TIGHT
BE PATIENT AND GIVE US A KISS GOODNIGHT
AND FROM THE TIME OUR LIFE BEGINS,
IT'S EXTRA LAUGHTER AND TRIPLE GRINS.
WITH JOYS AND MISCHIEF MULTIPLIED
AND TWO DEFENDERS BY EACH SIDE.

SO MUCH ALIKE, FOREVER LINKED,
AND YET WE ARE ALSO QUITE DISTINCT.
WE SHARE A BIRTHDAY AND A NAME
THE MAGIC OF THREE - WE ARE READY FOR THE GAME.
