We got to give Mary and Sophie their first bath in NICU last night. It was so much fun. We finally got to get them naked and take all the little monitors off of them. It was the first time we've held them without any wires attached. Peter went first and gave Sophie her bath. She was not too happy at first but did fine. I think Peter was a lot more nervous than she was. Our nurse Donna coached him well though. Then I gave Mary a bath and we had a great time. She really enjoyed it, especially when I washed her hair. Peter said he had never seen her so happy. She has actually been more alert since then. I know how she feels! It is no fun being in a hospital bed without being able to take a shower or a bath. We did not have our camera with us but took some pictures with Peter's phone to capture the moment. The pictures are a little red - that's because the girls were under heat lamps so they would not get too cold. They are doing well with maintaining their temperature though. I think they may get out of their isolettes tomorrow and will be coming home with us soon!
