3 Weeks Came and Went...

It is all a blur but at least it is a fun blur.
Sorry I don't know why the pictures are sideways. They aren't sideways in my picture folder.

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

Another week has past and I don't want to think about Jude and Lily growing up. I love this newborn stage even with the sleep depravation. They are almost back up to their birth weights and are really doing well. We are just trying to enjoy every moment.

One Week Already

I can't believe it has already been a week. They are doing so well. Lily is over her jaundice and they are eating and sleeping well. My parents are here to help and have been lifesavers. We are just so excited for our new adventures ahead.

They're Here

I went in to Labor and Delivery Thursday afternoon because I thought I had the flu and it was making my contractions act up. Turns out it was real labor and when they checked Lily was breech so they went ahead and did a C-section about an hour later. What a pleasant surprise to be done so quickly. It went really well and recovery has been soo much better than last time. The babies are healthy and doing well. They both have jaundice and Lily has to wear a light for a few days. They were born at 6:40 and 6:41 pm on Thursday the 26th and Lily weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and Jude weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz. We are thrilled to have them here safe and sound. We feel truly blessed to have these miracles in our home.

Coming Soon...

We are still waiting for the twins to arrive. Every doctor's appt. I hope there is something new going on. I did find out on Tue. that they think the girl weighs 6 lbs. 1 oz. and the boy weighs 5 lbs. 15 oz. so if they are close to that they should be in pretty good shape. I sure feel like I am carrying around 12 lbs. of baby. We can't wait to meet them.

The best birthday ever...

So Daren had to work on his birthday and he was headed to the YMCA to jog. He was only about 1/2 a block from the parking lot when BAM! Some lady pulled right into him. He hit his head on the steering wheel in two places and scraped up his cheek. He hit his shoulder, knee and ankle. He got sidelash for his neck which just made it sore. He was in shock when it happened and refused the ambulance but by the time he got home he was ready for a trip to the ER. They did xrays and gave a perscription for muscle relaxants. Luckily nothing was broken but the shoulder he had hurt 2 months before had just gotten better and now it is worse than the first injury. He seems to be recovering well and is back to work after a day and a weekend off. We just found out the car is totaled. He is sad to lose his Infinity but hopefully we can find him something fun he likes. Not a fun way to celebrate his birthday but we had friends over for cake and ice cream the next day and had a great time. Thanks to all of you who expressed your concern and thanks to Bret for Daren's ride home.

It looks like a baby...

Here are the pictures from the last ultrasound taken last Monday. After they took all the measurements the girl weighs 4 lbs. and the boy weighs 3 lbs. 9 oz. That was great news! They are still going to try hard to hold me off for another couple weeks but after that they won't try as hard. I will get to take my pump off at 36 weeks if I make it that far. For now the babies are just growing and would be fine anytime the Dr. said. We are getting excited and can't believe they are almost here.
