We were finally fortunate enough to take Braden to meet his baby brother on Saturday! :) It was AWESOME!! We were not 100% sure that Braden would even know what was going on but he caught on very quickly. As soon as we checked him in and scrubbed him in, we headed into the nursery. We went over to Brant's bed and right away he said "Baby Brant". :) He went straight for the isolette and wanted to look in. It was the most precious thing, and a moment that we will remember forever!
We did take Brant out and we sat down so Braden could see him. He was pretty mesmerized and we let him touch his feet. :) When it was time to go we put Brant back into the isolette and we covered it up. Braden just started crying. It broke my heart b.c it was at that moment that I think we realized that he knew what was going on. He kept saying "Bye Brant, Bye Brant". I think they will be best friends for life!! That is my prayer at least! :)
It was a short visit but a much needed one. Siblings only get 15 min visits per week but I think it really helped put into perspective that Brant is actually HERE now...and not inside my belly anymore. :)
The first time they saw one another. It almost looks like Brant is waving at Braden in this pic! :)
We love you precious boys! We cannot wait to start our life as a family of four at home all together! :)
