When you're 15...

you can build a masterpiece...

or be silly one minute...

and serious the next!

How time has flown! I can't believe that they boys are 15 months old today. It seems like just yesterday we were waiting for them, and now they're here, and doing amazing things! Both boys had a bit of the sniffles this weekend, and somehow passed it on to me and both grandmas. It's so sad to hear them all congested. I've suctioned out the noses, but the sneezes seem to be their only relief in getting the yucky stuff out. Mark took Ari to the doctor on Friday because he was running a bit of a fever. Beside the cold bug, he has 6 teeth coming in all at once...poor little guy! Today was much better, though! He definitely had a big smile to show for it!

crazy week

Happy 7 months my sweet little angels! I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly! This week has totally been thrown off by the rain days, testing, and life. It's amazing to see how quickly you've grown, and you constantly impress me with all of the new things that you're able to do each day. We love you so much!

Twice Blessed

Our new little twinkies! Ari is "Baby A" and Noah is "Baby B."

I realize that it's been a while, but the past month has been the most busy, non-stop, amazing month of our lives! My last post on February 21st was titles "In approximately 2 weeks..." well "In approximately 2 days would have been more accurate! My water broke on Monday, February 23rd around 7:30 p.m. (at exactly 36 weeks), and on February 24th at 2:20 a.m. and 2:21 a.m. our long awaited miracles were born! Ari came out first weighing in at 5.5 lbs and Noah second at
5.15 lbs.

We could not be any happier than we are now. Our family is complete and it's hard to imagine how life was without the twins; although I do remember what a good night of sleep once felt like!

In approximately two more weeks...

Mark and I will be parents!!! We had our final ultrasound yesterday and everything looked great. Ari weighed in at 5.11 lbs and Noah at 5.9 lbs! They're definitely on the right track so hopefully we'll have some meaty little butterballs!

The only downside to our ultrasound was the fact that the little munchkins weren't in the right positions. This means that I will more than likely be having a c-section. I don't know all the details yet, but should know more when Mark and I go to my appointment with Dr. Randell on Tuesday. I'm not terribly upset or nervous about the procedure itself; just worried about recovery and taking care of two newborns at the same time. I know that we'll have help, but I don't want to lose any bonding time with my boys! It also makes me a little sad knowing that I won't be able to hold and cuddle with them right away. What's best for them is most important!! I'm sure that all will be well.
