One Week Old

Emma and Jaxen,
Today is Friday, February 24th amd you are 1 week old today. I am trying to not let the hours blur into feeding, sleeping and diaper changes! I don't want to forget a minute!

This week you have pretty much ate and slept, pooped and peed! You both love being held and Jaxen you seem to be able to sense when Emma is being held and you wake right up and want to be held too! Soo cute! You both sleep more during the day than at night which is making for a very tired mommy and daddy.

Your brothers love you both so much! They all want to hold you especially William who just loves you way too much with little pats, pokes and rocks in your cradle.

This week you went to the pediatrician and Jaxen you were 5lbs 1 oz and Emma you were 5lbs 2 oz.
We all love you both so much! I still pinch myself that you are here and healthy and mine!

Emma and Jaxen I love you to theoon and back 1 million 5 thousand times! And yes, that is a lot!
William loving on Emma

37 Weeks Today and a Csection at 3:30

This is the last picture of you in my belly babies!
I feel like I have waited a life time for you...
I am so excited to soon be holding you and telling you how much I love you!

One more day...

Tomorrow is the end of my pregnancy days. I have fought so hard to get pregnant through the years and it is so bittersweet that these are my last babies...

But Tomorrow is also the...

The start of having 5 children, the start of being a family of 7...

Tomorrow I will have 4 sons and 1 daughter...

The start of our journey as a complete family, there is no more wondering when our other children will arrive. They will all be here in our loving arms!

I am so grateful for an easy twin pregnancy lacking complications. I am hoping and praying their arrival into this world is easy and without complications also.

I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that is entrusting 2 more children to my arms to love and raise. I am in awe at the responsibility and do not take it lightly.

I am now off to enjoy the last night with my 3 sons...

36 weeks - I made it!

36 week Pic:


I can't believe I made it to 36 weeks carrying twins! Heavenly father has really been watching over me and these babies!
Today was a busy day! OB at 9:20, Pre-op appt at 10:00 and Specialists and ultrasound at 11:00.
Measurements:
The babies are measuring 5.2 and 5.4 lbs. of course they are so squished in there that they could be a bit bigger than that. I asked for 1 more pic of there faces but they are both laying where we could not get one. They still both look like they have a lot of hair though!

The big question today was amino on Monday and c-section Wednesday or no amino and csection Friday. After consulting with the specialist we are going with csection on Friday the 17th. That is the best day for us as far as the boys are concerned and it seems crazy to me to have an amnio only to deliver 2 days earlier than scheduled so my dr can deliver. The specialist thinks 37 weeks perfect to deliver and the twins will be fine to wait the 2 days. My drs partner will deliver as my dr will be out of town. She delivered my drs baby less than 2 years ago, has delivered 12 sets pf twins and has her own set of b/g twins so I know I can trust her!

The count down is on!! Soon I will be a mom to 5!

Nursery Reveal

The twins are not sharing a room. Baby girl has her own room and William and Baby boy are sharing a room. However the twins will sleep together in 1 room or the other until they are ready to be separated. And of course for awhile they will be in a bassinet in our room.

I am in love with their rooms! Baby girl's is pink and green with a little purple and lots of butterfly's!







The boys room is white and brown and blue with puppy dogs!






All packed and ready for the 17th or earlier :)

Baby Shower and 35 Weeks

35 week picture. William's little hand on my belly! He's patting "his" babies! :)



My baby shower was today. It was so wonderful! Melanie and Kristie threw the shower. There were 12 people there and I had such a great time visiting with everyone! The babies were spoiled by so many cute outfits and some homemade hats and burp cloths and lap pads. Mary made the cutest diaper cake and Heidi gave them a double stroller. I had such a wonderful morning and am so thankful for such wonderful friends that gave up their Saturday morning with their families and made me and the twins feel so special!






I am so overwhelmed with the gifts!!

The Croup

Oh my poor William! The croup is knocking you right down on your diaper clad bottom!
First we had nights of no sleep! Luckily we didn't have to go to the hospital - I'm sure that was due to the steroids the dr gave you! You finally started sleeping through the night for the most part Friday night to Saturday am. The crankiness and the I want Noone but mommy has yet to disappear! It is so hard! You want mommy to carry or hold you all the time and your nose is still running a mile a minute!! Poor mommy is soooo tired and can't get anything done!!
I sure hope you are back to your sunny self with no runny nose before your brother and sister arrive!
