Aiden Christopher

During the time that I spend with the babies I notice new things. Just when I think I know what their personality is like I change my mind because of something new they show me. Aiden from the beginning has seemed calm and layed back. This may be because of his size but he has always done well for the nurses on holding still. When you talk to Aiden he looks at you and really listens, he makes face expressions to answer your questions...which makes us smile and laugh. His voice is soft and cries only when he is really upset. He was the one that moved constantly in my belly and was kicking ALL the time. He continues to kick! ha ha He loves to hold hands and seems to like holding Brian's the most. :) When they told us he was ready for a bottle I was scared for him. I was afraid it would exhaust him trying...but of course he showed me otherwise. He takes his bottle like a champ! He finishes his bottles before his sister and doesn't let you take it out. He is loving...when beside his sister he instantly reached for her hand. It was the sweetest thing! (of course she pulled her hand back) He continues to amaze us with his accomplishments. Many of you may not be aware of how much of a miracle Aiden really is. When Brian made a post a while back about the pregnancy being a roller coaster he was right. Words can't come close to explain the feeling I get when I look into Aiden's eyes knowing how much he overcame. We were told he wouldn't make it to birth and possibly not survive after birth. That had to be the hardest words we've ever heard. I didn't know anyone that had been in the same situation and I wasn't sure how to handle the news. I was completely attached and in love with my babies already and couldn't imagine not having Aiden or handle Addalyn without her brother. We saw a specialist and we know sometimes mistakes can be made but we needed a miracle. (I still have a hard time looking at a doctor when they talk to me about the babies updates.) We prayed for the babies everyday and possibly every free moment we had. We have been overwhelmed by all the family, friends, and churches that have prayed for our babies and feel truly thankful. I know God placed his hand on Aiden's heart and healed it. That doctor's appointment I cried tears of joy. Now I am anxious to see what God has planned for Aiden and what his purpose will be in life because it will be something great!
