Babies, Babies, Babies...

Well, everyone is here, and everyone arrived safely. I now have three new babies in my family. Max's sister, Sarah and her husband Q, had a little boy-Dominic James. Sarah was in labor for days before she knew it. That's the tough Russian blood in that side of the family. Sarah said, "Oh it wasn't that bad..." She's one tough broad (I mean that as the ultimate complement)
My brother Robb and my Sis-in-law, Elizabeth, had twin girls, Azy and Zoe on Friday.
All three babies are beautiful, and the moms are doing well.
I got to go and see and hold Azy & Zoe on Friday night. I fidgeted the whole day waiting for "the call." Jumping every time the phone rang. I couldn't wait to go and see them. It was amazing to see them, but also to see my brother so content, he was just over the moon.
When I visited the hospital, I had to behaved. All those newborn babies; oh I just wanted to bury my nose in their necks and breath in that new baby smell. I love to peek at those tiny toes, and perfect small ears. Most new Moms, for some strange reason aren't happy to have some strange woman smelling their babies and holding up the new babies feet while gushing "Oh look at those perfect toes, couldn't you just nibble on these?" Go figure. Like I'm the only person out there who is gaga over babies. I'm sure it's not just me. Luckily I was able to contain myself, so no one had to "escort me off the premises," this time.
The picture is of me holding Azy, it might be awhile before I get to hold Dominic, he lives in Georgia. :(

The very first thing my mom said about Johnny was about how perfect his ears were. Then she looked at his feet. You are so not alone!

I HAVE to look at the tiny feet, I'm weird that way.
