These are the very first photos of them. I like them better than the ones where they're all cleaned up and bundled.
They are both in the NICU but doing great. They won't have any health issues - they just need to grow a bit more before they come home, which could be anytime between this weekend and another three weeks. I was hoping to cook them myself for a while longer, but I went into labor early Saturday morning and no matter how much I tried to hold them in, they were determined to come out. The whole birth experience was magical. Leo and Zoe are magical. I can hardly believe they are real. But they are. They're here. It took 27 months, 4 losses, and the magic of science, but we made these two babies. It was definitely worth it.
Congratulations Amy and family! And of course, welcome to Leo and Zoe! I'm so glad I checked my feed reader one last time when I should be going to bed. Great pictures - they look strong and ready to be here. Nice work, mama. :):):)
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! Congratulations from the whole Casey family!
ReplyDeleteRyan would like to compliment you on the "very heroic names." He told me to put that in a comment for you. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn, that's awesome! Tell Ryan we sometimes call them our "little warriors." we're just hoping they don't choose to battle each other!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and your family Amy! I'm so glad you are all doing well. I look forward to reading about your adventures with Sammy and your two little warriors!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Amy! These are great pictures - they are beautiful and tiny. Travis and I also really like the names - we actually seriously considered the name Leonidas as an alternative to Alistair.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad things are going well for you and keep updating us!
B-E-A-U-T-I-FUL.....
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
Thanks for making these available
Congratulations Amy, Adam, and Sammy. We are so happy to hear all went well and we look forward to meeting Leo and Zoe. Take care and lots of love, the Ramias.
ReplyDeleteWell now I *really* love the name Alistair, since it left left Leonidas free for us. I guess we might have actually stolen Leonidas from you since we claimed Leo so long ago. Sorry! Sounds like you're doing great. I'll have to hear about the vacation at some point. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Amy! I've been away from my online friends for some time... What a great surprise to come back and learn about your miracles!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How wonderful for you guys.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteAmy, Adam, Sam, Leo, and Zoe! Wishing Team Mossoff the best for ever and ever! Your courage called them to be.
