What does it mean to me? It means that Ella and Sadie spend 23 hours a day under photo-therapy (big obnoxious lamps), mom and dad don't get to hold them other than that 1 remaining hour a day, they have "blinders" cover their beautiful dark eyes, and they don't get to be swaddled (which is very soothing to them) because we want them to have as much exposure to the lights as possible.
Silver lining? It means we get to catch them in some pretty awesome poses. As I am typing this - Sadie has her foot in her mouth... but since I didn't capture that, I'll share some of the others with you...
Ella is pretty stressed out about this whole having to breathe on her own thing ... I think she has taken up yoga as a form of relaxation.
Just a little sun bathing - Ella has got her shades and paci and is just chillin' under the lamps.
Ella also found yoga to be too exhausting, so she tried out sucking on her thumb. This seemed to work for a while.
Like her dad, Sadie loves to sleep curled around a body pillow.
Here is what Ella thinks of my taking so many pictures of her doing the same thing... note the middle finger. Attitude.
Sadie also attempted yoga as a form of relaxation - they must remember the terrible, terrible prenatal yoga video whose instructors had names like "Poppy" and said things like "your heart is blossoming into a lotus flower". I don't even know what that means.
Sadie is so unladylike. We will have to talk to her about proper etiquette before she does any real sunbathing.
Sadie likes to sleep with a body pillow like her dad (see above).
Ella, however, likes to sleep with her hands above her head like her mom (although I don't think that my arms are usually spread out quite like this...).
