Finding voice

I think I sing to Isabella and Henry in maybe 40% of my verbal communications. And I suppose roughly half of those are made-up.

I'm not sure why; mothering just comes out of me this way.

I was wondering in the shower this morning if that means the babies will sing to me their tantrums if when?! [finger crossed here] they get to those. At least 40% of the time?

Baby girl kisses

My favorite delight of late are Miss Bubble's kisses. When I give her kisses, she accepts them. When I say, "Kiss [Miss Bubbles]!" and kiss her, she smiles or laughs with glee. When I say "Kiss Mama!" and put my face to her cheek, she opens her mouth, then smiles at me. She incidentally is also a fan of eskimo and butterfly kisses. Love the sweet kisses, love more that she likes them announced!

Somehow I missed doing this with Mr. Dimples, though he's catching on quickly!

Announcement

[email sent to family on the day of their birth]

Dear Family,

We wanted to announce to you that our sweet babies were born on Saturday, May 30th. Sarah and babies are doing well. Both babies are in the NICU. Our little girl is breathing well on her own but our little boy has had a bit more difficult time with this. We hope you would be willing to keep them both in your prayers. The doctors expect both of them to be fine, they just need a bit more time with some TLC from the über competent medical personnel to help them get over a few initial hurdles. We are VERY excited and will be sending you another update with additional details and pictures soon.

We love you all!
He, She and babies
