Catharsis

This is a picture of Julia enjoying some skin-to-skin time with Elliot. When the boys first came we were frozen with with terror and pain. They are so small, and there is so many different medical devices coming out of every part of them that just looking at the boys made me weep uncontrollably. For the first three to four days the only time I was able to be with them and not cry was when I brought Julia down to visit. I was afraid to touch them so I would just stand next to them quietly sobbing. Now I look forward to holding them every chance I get, and I cry from happiness instead of sorrow
