Thanks Mike!

Liliana pooped on Mike yesterday - eek! He's such a great Dad, he just scooped her up and gave her a bath. Being two someone's parent is overwhelmingly wonderful and scary at the same time. Just think about it ... I'm responsible for when and what my babies eat, get a diaper change, get bathed, get to bed, when they laugh, what they learn. I'm really grateful for having such a supportive husband. Mike, thank you for helping me set up for the night shift - getting the formula and bottles ready, feeding and burping the babies, playing and rolling around with them. I love you. ~e

Mike, Lili and me - this is the first time we got to hold her in the operating room after Lili made her debut.
This is one of my fave photos - I love her hair!
This was me pre-op, 6 am. Love the polka dots.

This picture was taken by the nurse anesthetist - Steve - who used to dabble in photography. Pre-op, 6 am.

Muahahahaha! Mischievous Bella.
Those big brown eyes melt my heart. Mike got her the birthday cupcake and we sang Happy Birthday to her early that morning.
